Description du projet ou contexte
The project aims to harmonize Armenian legislation with European Union (EU) and International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) regulations in order to register the Geographical Indication (GI) for Armenian Brandy. The primary goal is to protect the unique identity of Armenian Brandy, ensure its authenticity, and build consumer trust in both domestic and international markets. By aligning with EU regulations on spirit drink categories, labeling requirements, GI protection, and official controls, as well as OIV's scientific guidelines, Armenia seeks to improve the quality and competitiveness of its brandy globally.
The project has two main objectives:
Specific Objective (Outcome) 1: Facilitate the termination of the use of the EU geographical indication
(GI) Cognac for products originating in the Republic of Armenia and assist in designing and
establishing a GI system for Armenian brandy.
Specific Objective (Outcome) 2: Enhance the promotion and marketing potential of the Armenian
brandy as a GI in domestic and export markets.
The following project outputs are expected in relation to Objective 1:
- Output 1: Armenian brandy GI system is established and functional;
- Output 2: National GI legislation is updated and enforcement rules are designed;
- Output 3: A functional testing and quality control system is designed;
A further output is expected in relation to Objective 2: A robust brand identity and marketing strategy is
developed.
By achieving these outputs, the project is expected to consolidate Armenian brandy as a high quality,
authentic product with a unique identity, fostering sustainable growth and international recognition of
the Armenian brandy industry.
