In total, 39 water points had preliminarily been selected for the survey. During the research period, several new wells were added to these sites. 33 of these sites were considered suitable and were assessed in more detail. Samples were taken from 20 sites and the samples analyzed in the NEA laboratory on a comprehensive num- ber of chemical substances and indicators. The groundwater chemical survey 2018 covered the following activities: Development of the survey manual; Field survey conducted by NEA Department of Geology and Department for Environmental Pol- lution Monitoring (10-15 October 2018); Laboratory analyses incl. laboratory reports by the NEA laboratory; Interpretation of the results (Report of the performed hydrogeological preliminary field works under the project „EUWI+“) by the NEA Department of Geology; Preparation of this comprehensive groundwater survey report 2018. The newly gathered data for a comprehensive set of parameters will act as gap filling and as a kind of screening (surveillance monitoring) contributing to the characterisation of groundwater bodies and the risk and status assessment. All results and documents which were elaborated under this contract are public and accessible at the EUWI+ project website (www.euwipluseast.eu). 6 ENI/2016/372-403 GE Groundwater Survey 2018 2 INTRODUCTION The “European Union Water Initiative Plus for Eastern Partnership (EaP) Countries (EUWI+)” involves six eastern neighbors of the EU: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The EUWI+ project addresses existing challenges in both development and implementation of efficient management of water resources. It specifically supports the EaP countries to move towards the ap- proximation to EU acquits in the field of water management as identified by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) are the planning tools that give the overall orientation of water management in the River Basin District and the objectives to be reached, and the priorities in the actions to be developed. Monitoring data are an important basis for water management, for risk, status and trend assessment. A strong monitoring system is critical in prioritising investment and cre- ating a cost effective management system. Hence, it is crucial that monitoring data are reliable (of high quality) to avoid implementing wrong and potentially costly measures. As specified under activity 2.3.4 of EUWI+, chemicals surveys are to be carried out to enable the de- velopment and implementation of the RBMPs. The monitoring data gathered under this activity will be used for the validation of the newly delineated groundwater bodies in the Alazani-Iori and Khrami- Debed RBDs, the validation of the monitoring design and the validation of the pressure and impact assessment. Furthermore, the gathered data build a basis for the risk, status and trend assessment and were used for selecting additional wells to be included in NEA’s groundwater monitoring network. This survey was intended to contribute to gap filling of monitoring data for the newly delineated groundwater bodies. It was also designed in such a way that it should also function as a screening survey (or surveillance monitoring) by analyzing a list of substances at monitoring stations which are not (yet) part of NEA’s groundwater monitoring network. The Umweltbundesamt issued a service contract with NEA for the analyses of the groundwater sam- ples. Sampling was done by the NEA Department of Geology and Department for Environmental Pol- lution Monitoring. Before the survey, on 8

  • Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine
    NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY SPECIAL EDITION NATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CENTER OF GEORGIA SAKPATENTI Appellations of Origin of Georgian Wine TBILISI 2010 GEORGIA RUSSIAN FEDERATION ABKHAZETI SVANETI RACHA-LECHKHUMI SAMEGRELO BLAC K S E A IMERETI KARTLI GURIA KAKHETI Tbilisi SAMTSKHE- A DJ A R A -JAVAKHETI TURKEY AZERBAIJAN A R ME N I A PREFACE In Georgia, a country with rich culture of wine-growing and wine-making, the tradition of using the geographical name of the place of origin as the appellation of a wine has a long history. Although the territory of Georgia is not large, the number of these appellations is nevertheless significant. Each of them is distinguished by special characteristics, high quality and reputation, which is influenced by the unique environmental conditions of Georgia. After the entry into force of the legal framework governing the protection of appellations of origin of wines, 18 appellations of origin of Georgian wines have been registered at National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia “Sakpatenti”. The Law of Georgia “On Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Goods” defines the concept of appellation of origin and geographical indication and stipulates: 1. An appellation of origin is a modern or historical name of a geographical place, region or, in exceptional cases, a name of a country (hereinafter “geographical area”), used to designate the goods: (a) originating within the given geographical area; (b) the specific quality and features of which are essentially or exclusively due to a particular geographical environment and human factors; (c) production, processing and preparation of which take place within the geographical area.

Moreover, as part of its commitments under the Association Agreement (AA) signed with the EU, Georgia is aligning its national water policies and strategies with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). This document, the “draft Alazani-IoriRiver Basin Management Plan2020” has been developed in the framework of the EuropeanUnion-funded programme “European Union Water Initiative Plus” (2016-2021). This is the first draft River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) forthis river basin. Georgian experts, with the support of experts from the Environment Agency Austria and French International Office for Water,worked together with stakeholders of the water sector at national and basin levels to draft this RBMP. This draft RBMP contributes to the implementation of basin principles and integrated water resources management approaches in the country. However, it does not claim to meet all requirements of the EU WFD.
