第四届中国国际消费品博览会期间，为庆祝《中欧地理标志协定》生效三周年，我会与欧盟驻华使团在现场设展“中欧地理标志展示馆”，并于4月13日下午举行开馆仪式，金华火腿、洞庭山碧螺春、延安苹果、金华两头乌、西班牙火腿、意大利红酒等百余种中欧互认地理标志产品亮相展台。法国驻广州总领事Sylvain FOURRIERE、法国驻广州总领馆经济领事Camille Fourmeau、欧盟驻华代表团Wojciech Ptak、西班牙驻广州领馆经济商务参赞Jamie Lorenzo、海南省委常委、纪委书记陈国猛、商务部外贸发展事务局副局长邓波、中国欧洲经济技术合作协会副理事长潘锋共同出席开馆剪彩仪式。湖北省、江苏省、内蒙古自治区等各省市领导参与该馆巡馆活动。

    潘锋表示，尽管面临全球经济的不确定性，2023年，中国对欧盟的农产品出口总额仍达到了18.6亿美元，是欧盟农产品出口的第三大目的地，出口额未降反增，展现了中欧在农产品合作上的坚实基础。中欧地理标志展示馆是展示中欧地理标志产品的重要平台，将让中国百姓了解更多欧盟食品的优点，并加强中欧食品企业间的合作，期待欧洲消费者能买到更多的中国产品。

    期间，爱尔兰驻华大使安黛文巡馆中欧地理标志展示馆参观，与上海中欧中心理事长潘锋就中爱经贸合作、第三届中外地理标志产品博览会、经贸代表团访欧考察等议题进行深入探讨交流。

    2021年3月1日正式生效的中欧地理标志协定，对中欧双方农产品贸易提供了有力保障。据中欧地理标志展示馆提供的数据，目前共有96个欧盟地理标志产品在中国受到法律保护，中国第一批100个地理标志产品在欧盟市场受到法律保护。另外，协定还纳入了中国第二批175个地理标志产品，并将在此后四年内获得保护。

Pan Feng said that even with the world economy is facing up and down but the total export in 2023 to EU still reached $1.86 billion, and China is the third export destination of EU agri products. The increasing export number demonstrated the solid foundation of EU-China agri food cooperation.

Looking beyond, we hope more Chinese products can be purchased by consumers in EU.

The EU-China GI Agreement, taking effect in March 1^st, 2021, provides solid protection for EU-China agri products. Currently, 96 EU products and 100 Chinese products enjoy the mutual protection. For another 175 products from each side will also be included into the protection in 2025.
