第四届中国国际消费品博览会（CICPE）4月13日在中国南方海南省海口市启幕。当天，中欧地理标志展示馆展出来自中国和欧盟的100多种地理标志产品。

The China-EU Agreement on Geographical Indications took effect in March 2021. A total of 200 GI products from the two sides—100 from China and 100 from the EU—are being protected. By 2025, the number of GI products from each side will reach 175.

《中欧地理标志保护与合作协定》于2021年3月正式生效。目前，中欧双方共有200个地理标志产品受该协定保护，其中100个来自中国，100个来自欧盟。至2025年，将向中欧双方市场推出各175种产品。

Pan Feng, vice president of the China-Europe Association for Technical and Economic Cooperation (CEATEC), said despite global economic uncertainty, China's agricultural exports to the EU stood at $1.86 billion in 2023, the bloc’s third-largest destination for agricultural exports.

中欧技术经济合作协会（CEATEC）副理事长潘峰表示，尽管全球经济存在不确定性，但2023年中国对欧盟的农产品出口额达到18.6亿美元，是欧盟第三大农产品出口目的地。

The EU-China GI Pavilion, as an important platform for showcasing GI products from the EU and China, will highlight the benefits of EU food products to Chinese consumers and foster collaboration between food enterprises from both sides.

中欧地理标志馆作为展示中欧地理标志产品的重要平台，将强调欧盟食品带给中国消费者的好处，并促进双方食品企业进行合作。
