"Commercial relations between the EU and Liechtenstein are closely connected with commercial relations between the EU and Switzerland. In order to minimise the negative consequences of the rejection of the EEA agreement by Switzerland in 1992, negotiations for commercial agreements were launched in seven sectors, including agricultural products. The agricultural agreement was concluded in 1999 and has been in force since 1 June 2002. The agreement between the EC and Switzerland was later extended to cover the Principality of Liechtenstein. This extension (or additional agreement) entered into force on 13 October 2007, and it meant that any amendment to the agreement on trade in agricultural products would also mean an amendment to the agreement between the EU, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. By adding a new annex (Annex 12), the EU and Switzerland are seeking to ensure the mutual recognition of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications in order to preserve the conditions of bilateral trade in agricultural products, while promoting the quality of the food chain.
Under the additional agreement, Liechtenstein products are deemed to be of Swiss origin. The agreement between the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and Liechtenstein must therefore also be amended, in order for the protection of geographical indications to apply to Liechtenstein as well. The amendment to the additional agreement is a positive and necessary step and, in my opinion, it is therefore desirable for the European Parliament to consent to it being signed."@en1
