GM food labelling, Place of origin, Substantial equivalence.

GM foods and traditional foods are different types of foods, their characters are different. Countries around the world adopted different labeling systems for GM foods according to national conditions and interests. Thus, defects in applying geographical indications (GIs) to GM foods have shown gradually with expansion of GM foods and their different labeling. Applying GIs to GM foods damages the connection between product and place of origin and the connection between product qualities attribute and place of origin. WTO members have greatly different protection measures for GIs. It is also the direct outcome of differentiated protection.
