However, GI systems among countries are not homogeneous and can be used as trade barriers against competition. Philosophical differences between the European Union and the United States about how GIs should be registered and protected led to the formation of a WTO dispute settlement panel. In this paper we discuss the issues behind the dispute, the World Trade Organization (WTO) panel decision, and the EU response to the panel decision leading to the new Regulation 510/2006. Given the potential for GI labels to supply consumer information, context is provided for the discussion using recent literature on product labeling. Implications are drawn regarding the importance of the panel decision and the EU response relative to GI issues yet to be negotiated under the Doha Round. 530 $a Also available via the World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Product differentiation. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Commerce. 651 0 $a United States $x Commerce. 700 1 $a Clemens, Roxanne L. 700 1 $a Babcock, Bruce A. $q (Bruce Alan) 710 2 $a Midwest Agribusiness Trade Research and Information Center. 856 41 $u http://www.card.iastate.edu/publications/DBS/PDFFiles/07mwp10.pdf 939 $a 5739768 941 $a 2 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20240710101125.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180703061736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41293A7E2B0E11DE8F715E08A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
