Background The European Union – Joint Rural Development Programme (EU-JRDP) is an integrated rural development intervention under the ENPARD Programme in Egypt, funded by the European Union and implemented by the Italian Development Cooperation, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation (MALR) of Egypt. The Programme implements its activities in the 3 Governorates of Fayoum, Matrouh and Minya. EU-JRDP is promoting Geographical Indications (GIs) as a tool for valorizing typical products in these Governorates and is, in this framework, organizing a workshop on “Geographical Indications (GIs): A Tool for Promoting Typical Products in Fayoum Governorate”. “A GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. To function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place. In addition, the qualities, characteristics or reputation of the product should be essentially due to the place of origin. Since the qualities depend on the geographical place of production, there is a clear link between the product and its original place of production”1. This differentiates Geographical Indications from trademarks, which mainly focus their protection on the company producing a certain good. A geographical indication right enables “the right-holder producers, especially smallholders, to exercise more control over the marketing of their products, combat counterfeiting, and secure a higher share of the value added”2. “However, a protected geographical indication does not enable the holder to prevent someone from making a product using the same techniques as those set out in the standards for that indication. Protection for a geographical indication is usually obtained by acquiring a right over the sign that constitutes the indication”3. “Nevertheless, there is no uniform approach as to products that qualify for the sui generis protection. The EC regulation 510/2006 is concerned, protected products under sui generis system are selected 1 World Intellectual Property Organisations (WIPO): Geographical Indications, https://www.wipo.int/geo_indications/en/ 2 EU GI Guides: Part 9 Worksheet 1. Introduction to origin marketing and GIs 3 World Intellectual Property Organisations (WIPO): Geographical Indications, https://www.wipo.int/geo_indications/en/ 9 agricultural products and foodstuffs”4. However, the WTO law does not limit the use of GIs to agricultural products. In some countries, the use of GIs is extended to industrial products and handicrafts, as well as services5. Examples of GI worldwide: Argan oil (Morocco): Introduced by the Berbers, the name of the people who populate the Agadir region of Morocco. Argan oil’s healthful properties and the myriad of uses have helped propel this product to stardom. It contains many antioxidants and is rich in vitamin E. Deglet Nour Dates (Tunisia): Unlike most other fruit, they hardly contain any vitamin C. Still, they are low in fat and rich in potassium and fiber, known for their yellow-golden colour and unique taste. Siracusa Lemon (Italy): characterised by a high juice content and abundance of oil glands in the skin, as well as the high quality of its essential oils. On February 3rd, 2011, the Siracusa Lemon was registered as having Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). Kalamata Olives (Greece): is a large black or brown olive with a smooth, meaty texture. Often used as table olives, they are usually preserved in vinegar or olive oil. Since November 2015, EU-JRDP, under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture (MALR), has been promoting Geographical Indications (GIs) in Matrouh Governorate. So far, the GIs legal and institutional framework in Egypt was assessed and an internal EU-JRDP strategy was prepared accordingly. During the Matrouh’s multi-stakeholder workshop on “Good Agricultural Practices on Geographic Indications” organized by EU-JRDP in November 2015, the 100 participants, identified local products to be protected in the sectors of Agriculture and Livestock, Fishery and Handicraft. Among the most important products under registration are grapes, figs, table olives, olive oil and the Barki sheep and goats. Furthermore, a national GIs committee was formed and trained through the Ministry of supply and internal trade, as well as a local committee in Matrouh. The international training included 8 Egyptian representatives from different Egyptian institutions, and which conducted as a study tour in Morocco. This tour aimed at learning from the Moroccan experience for the registration, protection and commercialization of GI products. A 2-day restitution workshop has then been organized in Cairo to share the lessons learnt in Morocco. 4 Organisation for an International Geographical Indications Network (OriGIn): Legal Systems to Protect GIs, https://www.origin-gi.com/your-gi-kit/legal-info/item/4744-legal-systems-to-protect-geographical-indications-en- gb-4.html 5 O’Connor B 2005, ‘Sui generis protection of Geographical Indications’, Drake Journal of Agricultural Law, vol.9, pp. 359-388. 10 3. Objectives of the workshop To raise awareness of the concept of GIs and its importance. To identify a list of potential Fayoum GI products. To provide Egyptian key stakeholders with elements (ideas, recommendations and documents) for promoting GIs in Egypt. 4. Summary of the workshop The Fayoum workshop was attended by 99 participants of which 37 females (Cf. Annex 1). The workshop duration was 1.5 days as follows: Day 1 – full day: plenary session during the morning and working group session in the afternoon; Day 2 – half-day: restitution of working group works and recommendations and way forward.

  • New Zealand and the European Union Trade Relationships Towards a Free Trade Agreement
    NEW ZEALAND AND THE EUROPEAN UNION TRADE RELATIONSHIPS TOWARDS A FREE TRADE AGREEMENT A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in European Union study in the University of Canterbury by Irena Obadovic University of Canterbury 2018 Abstract Early in 2017, officials from the European Union (EU) and New Zealand met to review bilateral relations. They stated that both parties should agree to sign a comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA) and that the negotiations could be launched in 2018. This was seen as a bold step that may significantly boost trade and investment between the two parties. This research examines the possible economic impacts of a FTA between New Zealand and the EU, including detailed consideration of the agricultural sector. A partial equilibrium model called the Lincoln Trade and Environment Model (LTEM) is employed to capture the effects of the FTA on the agricultural sector. Relevant scenarios were developed assuming different liberalisation levels of bilateral trade in agricultural commodities. They assumed various changes to tariffs and quotas. The results from this research draw attention to the fact that the effects of the FTA will be more significant for New Zealand as the proportion of total trade from New Zealand to the EU is much higher than for the EU and because trade barriers on agricultural goods are higher in the EU. In New Zealand, the most significant increases in producer returns and exports to the EU are expected in the apple and wine industries. For the EU, there would be slight negative results in bilateral trade.

  • Sicilian St. Joseph's Tables and Feeding the Poor In
    * Please click on the ‘Supporting Material’ link on left column to access images* Rituals of Charity and Abundance: Sicilian St. Joseph’s Tables and Feeding the Poor in Los Angeles 1 Luisa Del Giudice In memory of Virginia Buscemi Carlson (Villafranca Sicula, July 9, 1935 – Downey, Calif., Jan. 28, 2007) 1. Introduction This essay explores the mid-Lenten Tavola di San Giuseppe (St. Joseph’s Table) in Los Angeles, situates this tradition within its historical and geographic cultural contexts, and seeks to interpret its various meanings. The custom of preparing food altars or tables in honor of St. Joseph is an expression of Southern Italian (conspicuously Sicilian) folk religion with various elements at its core. On the one hand, it represents a propitiatory sharing of abundance and the cultural exorcism of hunger. On the other — within its Italian Christian matrix — it is an affirmation of the patriarchal family, as well as an intertwining practice of hospitality and caritas . Finally, in its 1 These conjoined phenomena have been researched and reported in various formats and settings: “St. Joseph’s Tables and Feeding the Poor in Los Angeles” (American Folklore Society annual meeting in Lafayette, Louisiana, Oct. 1995; Culinary Historians of Southern California, Los Angeles Public Library, Mar. 13, 2004; All Saints Church, Pasadena, Women’s Council, Mar. 5, 2005; Academy of Sciences, Lubljana, Slovenia, April, 2004); “Joseph Among the Angels: St. Joseph’s Tables and “Feeding the Poor in Los Angeles” (Dept. of Cultural Affairs, Living Roots ‘97 Conference, Los Angeles, April 12, 1997); “Italian Folklife in California: Continuity of Tradition” (Conference on Italian Migration in the United States , Los Angeles, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Feb.
