Geographical Indications in the spotlight

Our friends at Crops for the Future do a nice job of summarizing the paper “The protection of Geographical Indications (GI): Generating Empirical Evidence at Country and Product Level to Support African ACP Country Engagement in the Doha Round Negotiations.” So I don’t need to, beyond referring to the bottom line: “GIs may entail trade-offs rather than the elusive “win-win” situation.” But I will say that I think it’s strange for the “Organization for an International Geographical Indications Network, … a Swiss-based NGO that represents 200 organizations and over two-million GI producers, from some 40 countries” to have a (fairly active) Twitter account but no RRS RSS feed from its website.

  1. Hi Luigi,

    As webmaster of oriGIn, I would like to thank you for the suggestion.

    I guess that you mean RSS instead of RRS.

    Untill now, you’re right, we didn’t use RSS feed, as this system is usually dedicated to have a quick access to daily news. You can find it in any news website, generalist or specialist.

    OriGIn is a very active organisation, as you noticed through Twitter (weekly articles) and website.

    But any tool has to suit to its owner and user.

    As a user, we are pleased to get your feedback, if you think that weekly articles can suit to RSS feed which is usually dedicated to frequent – daily – publication.

    Thanks for your help to improve oriGIn comunication.
