Portuguese term or phrase:Indicação Geográfica Protegida
Can anyone come up with an English equivalent for this term.
Here is an explanation of the term taken from a Portuguese website:
"De um modo geral pode dizer-se que uma DOP ou uma IGP é o NOME de uma região ou de um local determinado que serve para designar um produto originário dessa região ou desse local, e cuja qualidade ou características se devem ao meio geográfico (DOP) ou cuja reputação ou determinada qualidade podem ser atribuídas a essa origem geográfica (IGP).
____Por outras palavras, para que um produto possa beneficiar de uma DENOMINAÇÃO DE ORIGEM PROTEGIDA, tem que se demonstrar que ele tem origem no local que lhe dá o nome e que tem uma forte ligação com essa mesma região, de tal forma que é possível provar que a qualidade do produto é influenciada pelos solos, pelo clima, pelas raças animais ou pelas variedades vegetais e pelo saber fazer das pessoas dessa área.
____INDICAÇÃO GEOGRÁFICA PROTEGIDA, tem que se demonstrar que pelo menos uma parte do seu ciclo produtivo tem origem no local que lhe dá o nome e que tem uma "reputação" associada a essa mesma região, de tal forma que é possível ligar algumas das características do produto aos solos ou ao clima ou às raças animais ou às variedades vegetais ou ao saber fazer das pessoas dessa área."
Explanation: The translation was too easy, that's why you couldn't find it.
Definitions: a distinction is made between two classes of names:
protected geographical indication (PGI): meaning the name of a region, specific place or country describing a product originating in that region, specific place or country and possessing a quality or reputation which may be attributed to the geographical environment with its inherent natural and/or human components;
protected designation of origin (PDO): meaning the name of a region, specific place or country referring to a product originating in that region, specific place or country and whose quality or other characteristics are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment.
Conditions for qualifying for a PGI or PDO designation: To qualify for a PGI or PDO designation, a product must comply with a specification containing the following: the name and description of the product; the definition of the geographical area; the methods of preparation; factors relating to the geographic environment; the inspection bodies; details of labelling and any legislative requirements that must be met. The type of link between the product and the geographical location is more stringent in the case of the PDO designation, the quality or other characteristics being due essentially or exclusively to its geographical environment.
Thanks everyone for your help. Rachel, I know you answered first, but Carla's answer not only answered this question but also saved me from asking another couple. If there was a way to give you both the points, I would.
Here, it must noted that it is not the ' geographical indication' that is protected but that the product comes from a protected geographical area.
Any clarification?
