6 Productive Districts Geographically delimited (restricted) area High concentration of operators Specialisation of production Competition localisation first promotes collaboration and then competition Territorial identification with a product: tradition and typicality

7 European Union PDO Article 5 of EU Regulation No. 1151/2012 of 21 November 2012 defines: Protected Designation of Origin ( PDO) Name that identifies a product originating in a specific place, region or, in exceptional cases, a country; whose quality or characteristics are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment with its inherent natural and human factors; and the production steps of which all take place in the defined geographical area.

8 European Union PGI Article 5 of EU Regulation No. 1151/2012 of 21 November 2012 defines: Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Name that identifies a product originating in a specific place, region or country; whose given quality, reputation or other characteristic is essentially attributable to its geographical origin; and at least one of the production steps of which take place in the defined geographical area.

9 European Union TSG Article 18 of EU Regulation No. 1151/2012 of 21 November 2012 defines: Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) 1. A name shall be eligible for registration as a traditional speciality guaranteed where it describes a specific product or foodstuff that: (a) results from a mode of production, processing or composition corresponding to traditional practice for that product or foodstuff; or (b) is produced from raw materials or ingredients that are those traditionally used.

10 Production Discipline Key Elements Denomination - name to be protected Product specification Production area Origin Production method Connection Control authorities Labelling

11 Italian System of Certification and control What is the difference between control and surveillance? Controll Bodies Controll Plans Consortia Disciplines Monitoring Surveillance Protection Consortia Functions Protection Promotion Enhancement Consumer information General care of GI s

12 Counterfeiting The phenomenon of imitation involves different markets including, in particular, the U.S. market where all genuinely Italian products are very popular, but also those which, despite having no relationship with the Italian food processing system, boast references to Italian culture, exploiting the reputation and/or image; in other words, the so-called imitative products. Global food piracy and Italian sounding are two sides of the same coin (real usurpation of trademarks on hand or simply evocation of a product of origin on the other) which steal significant market shares of certified quality productions, tarnishing their good reputation.

13 The most imitated Italian Products Parmigiano Reggiano: Parmesao (Brazil) Regianito (Argentina) Parmesan (Japan, USA, Canada, Australia, etc.) Parmesan Cheese, Parmegianino (USA) Reggiano and Parmesano (Central America) Pamesello (Belgium) Grana Padano: American Grana (USA) Gorgonzola: Tinboonzola (Australia) Cambozola (Germany, Austria, Belgium) Asiago : Wisconsin Asiago (USA) Prosciutto di Parma: Parma Ham (USA) Prosciutto di San Daniele: Daniele Prosciutto & Company (USA)

14 Surveillance Administrative sanctions have been identified for "whoever, in the designation and presentation of the product, usurps, imitates or evoces a protected denomination, or the distinctive sign or trademark". Domestic > National Surveillance Programmes EU > Ex officio protection International > Multilateral (Lisbon Agreement) Protection shall be ensured against any usurpation or imitation, even if the true origin of the product is indicated or if the appellation is used in translated form or accompanied by terms such as kind, type, make, imitation or the like.
