潘锋指出,地标产品博览会是展示地理标志产品的重要平台,以此为桥梁助推中欧企业间合作,100多家企业通过第二届地标产品博览会达成合作意向。2023年,我国对欧盟的农产品出口总额达到111.9亿美元,展现了中欧在农产品合作上的广阔空间。博览会为展示中欧地标合作成果,分享先进农业新理念、新技术畅通渠道,为从事乡村产业发展的企业提供学习交流平台。在中欧地理标志保护合作中,西班牙是积极的倡导者和执行者,本届博览会邀请西班牙担任主宾国、带来很多利好消息,西班牙四川总商会、四川天府新区成都管委会、中建院以“乡村振兴和再造”为目标,共同打造了中西田园综合体项目,将为更多地标产品助力乡村振兴提供合作共赢的舞台。

卡洛斯·萨恩斯·得哈达表示,西班牙与法国、意大利一样,是欧盟注册地理标志最多的国家之一。此次活动和西班牙地理标志展馆,无疑将有助于向中国消费者和运营商们宣传各种地标产品,其中许多产品是西班牙美食的标志性产品,如橄榄油、火腿、奶酪或葡萄酒。在展览期间,我们将通过各类活动向企业和公众宣传带有地理标志的西班牙产品的高质量美食,为此将举办葡萄酒品尝、火腿切割、经典菜肴品鉴、介绍推广等活动。与此同时,大家还可以欣赏弗拉门戈舞和西班牙吉他表演。本次的西班牙展馆不仅会成为一种贸易促进工具,更应该为西班牙地理标志生产者与中国同行,在生产技术和提高各种农产品质量方面提供更多的合作机会。

  Spain Serves as Guest Country | GIPE 2024 Press Conference Held in Sichuan

On the afternoon of September 12th, a press conference for the Third Global Geographical Indication Products GIPE 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the GIPE 2024) was held at the Sichuan Provincial Press Conference Hall. Pan Feng, Vice Chairman of CEATEC, Ren Xiaobo, Deputy Mayor of Luzhou Municipal Peoples Government, and Carlos Sáenz de Tejada Gorman, Consul General of Spain in Chengdu, presented the situation and answered questions. The conference was hosted by Yu Zhijun, Director of the Sichuan Provincial News Center.


At the conference, Ren Xiaobo explained that the GIPE 2024, leveraging the signing of the "China-EU Geographical Indication Protection and Cooperation Agreement," has successfully been held twice in Luzhou. The GIPE 2024 has actively promoted the trade of geographical indication products, technological exchange, information exchange, cultural integration, and investment promotion. This years GIPE 2024 will feature 11 major thematic activities and 10 accompanying events. Nearly a thousand enterprises will be joining forces to create a "Cloud Geographical Indication Products GIPE 2024," offering an innovative online consumption experience and presenting a professional and international event.


Pan Feng pointed out that the Geographical Indication Products GIPE 2024 is an important platform for showcasing such products and acts as a bridge to promote cooperation between Chinese and European companies. More than 100 companies reached cooperation agreements through the second GIPE 2024. In 2023, Chinas total agricultural GIPE 2024rts to the EU reached $11.19 billion, demonstrating the broad space for cooperation in agricultural products between China and the EU. The GIPE 2024 provides a platform to display the results of China-EU cooperation on geographical indications, share new ideas and technologies in advanced agriculture, and offers a learning and exchange platform for companies engaged in rural industrial development. Spain has been an active advocate and executor in the China-EU geographical indication protection cooperation. This year, Spain, as the guest country, brings many favorable messages. The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Sichuan, the Chengdu Management Committee of Sichuan Tianfu New Area, and the Chinese Academy of Construction Engineering have jointly developed a China-Spain rural complex project under the goal of rural revitalization and reconstruction, providing a stage for win-win cooperation to support rural revitalization with more geographical indication products.


Carlos Sáenz de Tejada Gorman expressed that Spain, along with France and Italy, is one of the EU countries with the most registered geographical indications. This event and the Spanish Geographical Indications Pavilion will undoubtedly help promote various geographical indication products to Chinese consumers and operators, many of which are iconic Spanish culinary products such as olive oil, ham, cheese, or wine. During the exhibition, we will use various activities to promote the high-quality Spanish products with geographical indications to enterprises and the public, including wine tasting, ham cutting, classic dish tastings, and promotional events. In addition, people will also be able to enjoy flamenco dancing and Spanish guitar performances. The Spanish Pavilion will not only serve as a trade promotion tool but also provide more cooperation opportunities for Spanish geographical indication producers and their Chinese counterparts in terms of production technology and improving the quality of various agricultural products.


GIPE 2024 will be held from September 20th to 22nd in Luzhou, with Spain as the guest of honor. The theme of the event is "Strengthening Geographical Indication Protection and Promoting High-Quality Industrial Development," and it will feature six major exhibition halls: the Guest Country Hall, the EU Hall, the Baijiu Boutique Hall, the Characteristic Production Area Hall, the Comprehensive Hall, and the Theme CountyGulin Hall. It is expected that more than 900 companies from home and abroad will participate, showcasing over 3,200 distinctive products. More than 30 important foreign guests, including ambassadors, delegation heads, and consulate officials from Spain, France, Madagascar, and over 20 other countries, will attend to discuss cooperation and explore new paths for geographical indication product trade, investment promotion, and cultural exchange between China and other countries.
