28 SAUSAGE REPORT <strong>2019</strong><br />
Protected specialities<br />
Three labels have been created for the purpose of ensuring that certain sausage or<br />
ham specialities are produced in specified ways: Protected Designation of Origin (PDO),<br />
Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG).<br />

The origin and traditional manufacture of<br />
agricultural products and foodstuffs can be<br />
protected by EU law. The quality marks were<br />
introduced by the European Union in 1992.<br />
The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)<br />
guarantees that a speciality is produced,<br />
processed and manufactured in a given<br />
region according to a defined procedure. The<br />
entire production therefore takes place in a<br />
specific location.<br />
This means that the specialities have characteristics<br />
that are exclusively linked to<br />
the region and the skills of the local producers.<br />
There must be a demonstrably close<br />
connection between the characteristics<br />
of the product and its geographical origin.
