The IfLS is a contributing national expert for Germany and Austria to the study by AND International on behalf of the European Commission - Directorate General Agriculture and Rural Development.
The aim of the study is to collect and/or estimate data for each product with protected geographical indications (PGI) and guaranteed traditional specialities (TSG) on the trade volume, the share of domestic and EU sales, as well as sales in the target countries. In Germany there are no aggregated data (except for the wine sector), therefore the producer groups are directly consulted.
