How long will it take for the GI to be registered? and in the same line, how long will it take the FTA to enter into force?<br />Both of them are unpredictable. Because of this, I feel that it is not a good sign for the FTA: will it ever be in forced? Remember that the FTA between Colombia and the US was agreed many years ago and...well still waiting.<br />That said, the'stinky' was used as a metaphor -- as it doesn't smell right (re. to the FTA - will it ever be in forced?)<br />Thanks for starting this debate, I would love to hear from more people and their views -- someone appointed me to the Vienna Convention, any views?Patricia Covarrubiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582697391205609361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989033901007858593.post-27939277472859340722011-02-02T13:03:22.205+01:002011-02-02T13:03:22.205+01:00The reason that the Consorzio decided to proceed -...The reason that the Consorzio decided to proceed - last November 2010 - with a paralle request for recognition of the appellation of origin Parmigiano Reggiano, is the high number of violations detected in Colombia, while the FTA - despite being signed in May 2010 - has not yet entered into force. <br /><br />I am afraid that Patricia so far only tried the fake Colombian cheeses; otherwise she would not have used the word "stinky" as she would have known that Parmesan cheese, being a hard cheese, does not smell at all.Edith Van den Eede - Società Italiana Brevettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154610000140900914noreply@blogger.com
