Publication of the Order No. 6 by State Bureau of Technical Supervision(国家技术监督局第六号令)in 2000 It is not yet a law but the fist ministerial decree aiming at protecting GI in China
Law • decree of State Council • ministerial decree
GIs de facto in China • The notion GI exists in China for long time, the people in an ancient agricultural country understand naturally GI, they are used to buy “local typical product(土特产)”: • Long Jing Tea • Shao Xing Yellow Wine • Moutai Alcohol
GI system in China • Include GI in technical supervision system • Codify natural & human factors linked with the typicality of product in mandatory standards • Local authorities and professionals in charge of management and control
Positive effect of the system -International trade - get back the market of Shao Xing Yellow Wine - protection of French GI products • Domestic market - increase of Long Jing Tea sale - more than 70 kinds of products recognized as GI
