C.ii.iv.a Definition of the term "geographical indications" and eligibility of geographical indications for inclusion in the system
124. The representative of New Zealand said that her country had made a determination at the national level that "New Zealand" was a geographical indication in the context of wines and spirits and with respect to a number of other geographic indications for areas within New Zealand that made up the entire territory. However, when the EC were asked, in the context of bilateral negotiations for a wine agreement, to recognize "New Zealand" as a geographic indication, they had refused it. She said that, if Kenya had received assurances from the EC that its country name would be respected as a geographical indication, she would also ask the EC to give the same assurances to New Zealand.
