Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2.

Amendment 23 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Is of the opinion that special (sui generis) legislation for non-agricultural products of the Member States is not enough and that a coherent, simple and bureaucratically and economically non- burdensome EU-level system of GI protection for non-agricultural products would enable the EU to achieve similar protection for such European products outside the EU in the framework of international trade negotiations;
Amendment 38 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Is of the opinion that the creation of a single EU-level protection of non- agricultural GIs that includes a registration scheme recognised at EU level, without lowering the standards of protection already existing in some Member States, would be the best way to be more effective both within the EU and in negotiations with third countries; takes the view that this would contribute to consumer protection by ensuring compliance with health standards and deter unfair competition;
