Knocknagoshel may have arisen and taken its place among the nations of the earth in the 20th century but it is soon to be joined by Imokilly, Clare Island, and Timoleague.
While the phrase which made the County Kerry town famous came from a banner displayed at a public meeting being addressed by Parnell, Imokilly, Clare Island and Timoleague have been occupying the minds of the global community for other reasons.
A report by a World Trade Organisation panel published yesterday confirmed that the EU system of protection of geographical indications (Gis) for agricultural products complies with WTO rules.
Geographical indications provide protection for products identified with a particular geographical location, for example Roquefort cheese, Parma ham or Clare Island Salmon.
Now, Clare Island Salmon, Imokilly Regato cheese from Cork and Timoleague black pudding and pork are safe from interference from anyone in the world who would try and pass off their produce as being from these areas.
Rejecting the arguments of the US and Australia, the Geneva-based WTO confirmed in particular that Gis can coexist with prior trademarks. The ruling confirms the rights of the holders of Europe's approximately 700 geographical indications - three of which are registered in Ireland.
The three holders of geographical indicators in Ireland are: Imokilly Regato cheese from Cork, held by Dairygold; Timoleague Brown Pudding from Cork, held by Timoleague Pork and Pudding Processors; and Clare Island Salmon, held by the Irish Seafood Producers Group from Galway.
When a product acquires a reputation extending beyond national borders it can find itself in competition with products which pass themselves off as the genuine article and adopt the same name. This unfair competition not only discourages producers but also misleads consumers.
Because of this the EU created a system of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and TSG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed) to promote and protect food products.
EU Commissioner for Trade Peter Mandelson said this decision will help the EU to ensure wider recognition and protection of regional and local product identities.
