According to European Regulation No 510/2006, ‘geographical area’ means an area defined by a name of region, a specific place or, in specific cases, a country, and is used to describe an agricultural product or foodstuff originating in that region, specific place or country, the specific quality or reputation or other specific characteristics of which are attributable to the geographical origin and whose production and/or processing and/or preparation takes place in that defined geographical area. It is defined by a list of administrative entities (departments, cantons, municipalities) or by natural geographical boundaries.
PGI Protected Geographical Indication is defined by Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006.
It is the name of a region, a specific place or, in exceptional cases, a country, which is used to designate an agricultural product or a foodstuff:
— originating in that region, particular place or country
— and of which a given quality, reputation or other characteristics may be attributed to that geographical origin
and whose production and/or processing and/or preparation take place in the defined geographical area.
The relationship between the product and its origin is less strong than for the PDO but sufficient to confer a characteristic or reputation on a product and thus benefit from the PGI.
A designation includes 1 to n denomination(s) and 1 to n products (e.g. the colours of the wines, which may be subject to specific delimitations).
