Mr President, the report on designations of origin and geographical indications presented to us by the Commission states that its intention in drawing it up has been to clarify procedures and to bring Community legislation into line with a judgment of the World Trade Organisation. The protection of geographical indications is naturally extremely important.
La protección de las indicaciones geográficas tiene, desde luego, una gran importancia, porque es fundamental para informar correctamente a los consumidores sobre la calidad, el origen y los métodos de producción de los productos que consumen.
