BS GIN Network will create a synergy among culturally, naturally and historically unique regions of Galati, Batumi and Trabzon to exploit their potential of geographical indications by forming a network and engage in local capacities building and promotional activities for their stakeholders. A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. The main motivation behind BS GIN project is the fact that geographically indicated products are differentiated from other similar products with their unique qualities. Consequently, with provision of right protection mechanisms and marketing efforts, a niche market for GI products would be created. Thus, by using Geographical Indications a strong added value would be created for unique products which in medium and long terms provide a substantial contribution to economic development and welfare of people/regions engaged in production and marketing of such GI products. A study of the European Commission states that EU Geographical Indications worth around € 54 billion in worldwide markets. Study further indicates that the value premium rate of products bearing a GI compared to non-GI products is approximately 2.23, which means that products with GI are being sold around 2.2 times higher than non-GI products. Black Sea basin with its unique geographical, nature and cultural background has an enormous potential in terms of GI products. However, the current level of utilization of GI and its associated mechanisms such as Protected Designation of Origin (PDI) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) are very limited around Black Sea basin. In terms of the BS GIN project partners, from Turkey there are only 17 PDO/PGI denominations, there are 10 denominations from Romania and non from Georgia. Main reasons of failure to benefit from GI scheme are as follows:Lack of knowledge and awaraness of geographical indications concept and international legal framework for protection Lack of knowledge of the supply & value chainsLack of knowledge and capacities to identify distinctive characteristics of products, protect and manage geographical indicationsDifficulty in bringing together and unifying stakeholders and thus, creating GI networksLack of GI denominations + strategies for GI prodcuts' marketing, branding and promotion Therefore, BS GIN project will work on : Increasing the awareness and knowledge of GI associated concepts and international mechanismsBuilding capacities of BS GIN stakeholders related to the protection, management and promotion of geographical indicationsTo create Black Sea GI Network of producers, SMEs, institutions, traders etc. to use and benefit from GI schemes and promote their their locally unique and peculiar Black Sea products under GI schemes.
