Ambassador Carlos Pérez del Castillo (Uruguay)
H WORK ON ISSUES RELEVANT TO THE PROTECTION OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS
50. The representative of Brazil said that Brazil supported the establishment of a multilateral system for notification and registration of geographical indications for wines and spirits on a non burdensome and voluntary basis, without additional obligations for Members. The proposal put forward by Canada, Chile, Japan and the United States seemed to be more in line with these criteria, but his delegation would consider with an open mind any other proposals that would be presented in the future by other Members.
