This document discusses the need for geographical indication (GI) policy in Southeast European countries. It provides an overview of GI protection under international law and EU regulations. It examines issues around collective action and the development of GI products in Central and Eastern European countries. Case studies of paprika and salami from Hungary are presented to illustrate challenges in establishing GI protection, including product definitions, legal frameworks, and the role of institutions. The document emphasizes that traditions and cultural heritage provide potential for agro-food sectors if supported by the right market and policy approaches.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

According to the concept of Geographical Indication
defined in the TRIPS Agreement (Art. 22.1), GIs are
not necessarily:
• geographical names
• protected by any special means of legal protection (e.g. legal
provisions out of the usual laws on business practices,
trademarks, protection against misleading, unfair competition, or
even legal provisions implementing the minimum requirements of
the section on GIs of the TRIPS Agreement)

1. To stop the direct and indirect general commercial use of the

2. To stop any misuse, imitation or evocation, even if the true
origin of the product is indicated; or if the protected name is
translated or accompanied by an expression such as “style”,
“type”, “method”, “as produced in”, “imitation” or similar;
3. To stop other false or misleading indication as to the origin,
nature or essential qualities of the product (on the inner or
outer packaging, advertising material or documents relating
to the product concerned, and the packing of the product in a
container liable to convey a false impression as to its origin);

as to the true origin of the product

Final remarksFinal remarks
• During the transition period for the market economy the
NMS were not able to „rediscover the possibilities” given
by GI product supply chains.
• The impact of enlargement on certain markets has not
been unambiguously positive.
• There are a few hundred thousands farmers in the new
member states living in a GI area without market access.
• There is a need for a longer term policy outlook in the EU
to give (less-favoured) farmers the certainty they need to
run their „businesses” competitively.
• Rural development must be involved in the establishment
of new institutions (rules-policies) on the market of GI
products.
• The governamental policy must provide an opportunity
for agricultur-, rural development-, market and consumer
policy harmonization regarding the recognized GIs.

…the development of the agro-food sector, the
enhancement of the small and medium-size
enterprises’ competitiveness is not necessarily
or exclusively conditioned by large-scale
industrial investments.
We would rather emphasize that traditions and
habits are part of cultural heritage, therefore
they change extremely slowly, allowing only
scarce possibility for innovation. However,
their potential is huge, which can be
explored, if an adequate market approach
accompanies them.
