Sažetak
Geographical Indications (GIs) for agricultural products and foodstuffs, as well as for wines, aromatised wines and spirits, are eligible for registration before the EU Commission and protected as industrial property rights across the EU. Research has revealed a significant increase in demand for traditional products bearing a GI, despite the fact that those products are often sold at prices notably higher than prices of competing products not labelled with protected GIs. Thus, since 2011, the EU Commission has been considering the possibility of widening the scope of the EU-level system for GI protection to also encompass non-agricultural products. The aim of the paper is to present efforts taken by the EU Commission in order to evaluate the possible pros and cons of introducing an EU-level system of GI protection for non-agricultural products, as well as to present several models of the aforementioned system. The upcoming EU legislation is expected to have an impact on the outcome of future bilateral and multilateral agreements on the mutual recognition of GIs registered at national levels. Consequently, the new EU legislation is expected to foster traditional manufacturing and craftsmanship – both, inside and outside the EU. Accordingly, the expected impacts of upcoming EU regulation on the business community will also be presented.
