Synopsis (short abstract) Increasing exports is one of the most important priorities for governments and plays a prominent role in the development agenda in developing countries, high-income states and all countries between. On the other hand, pursuing the intensification of trade demands a deliberate policy framework tailored to country-specific needs and the interests of producers. In light of this, governments around the globe have developed various export promotion policies – some that share similar characteristics and others that are unique – that can serve as best practices to many. The purpose of this paper is to identify the best promotional practices implemented in different countries and share them with governments planning to adopt or review trade promotion policies and with stakeholders. In light of this, the paper analyses these policies from several points of view, including (1) their institutional framework; (2) practical examples of export promotion measures (such as procedures, grants, and technical assistance to producers); (3) financing opportunities for exporters (such as credit, insurance, and factoring); (4) and measures specifically implemented on internal markets. The paper is made up of the most relevant findings of case studies delivered by country experts from Poland, Austria, Estonia, Serbia, Chile and Brazil.

    Geographical indication schemes in Croatia, Hungary and Poland
    Synthesis report
    2018
    Also available in:
    Geographical indication (GI) schemes can play a special role in promoting sustainable rural development, improving farm income and opening new export potential. Natural factors such as soil, climate and plant varieties play a major role in producing a unique product. Usually, GIs comprise knowledge and skills passed on from generation to generation, helping to protect local heritage. General rules concerning geographical indications (for food products) are the same in all European Union countries. In light of this, the aim of the report is not to focus on the solutions of the community; rather, the report attempts to answer the question of how and for what purpose European quality policy tools are used in these countries. The report covers lessons learned from GI-system implementation and from the perspective for this sector, including the role of GIs in agriculture and rural development policy. The report also contains recommendations for the future. This report was prepared from three comprehensive reports on the implementation of food quality policies in Croatia, Hungary and Poland. It highlights issues that were (or still are) key points in creating an effective system for protecting geographical indications and promoting quality food in these countries. As such, it can be treated as a benchmark for countries that intend to prepare, implement or reform their national food quality policies.

    This FAO survey on “Recovered Paper Data, 2006” follows the same format as the 2003 edition. It was produced, in cooperation with the Confederation of European Paper Industry (CEPI) which supplied the necessary data relevant to its member countries (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom) and it estimated the data for Denmark, Greece and Irelan d. FAO collected data for the other remaining countries. The survey presents data on recovery, trade and utilization of recovered paper. Historical data for the period 2006 is presented and only a few countries provided projections of recovery and use of recovered paper for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The ratios used to analyse the data are those recommended by the Sub-group on Waste Paper Terminology and are defined later in this document. Appendix 1 contains the questionna ire which FAO sent to 46 countries. In addition to the 20 countries covered by CEPI, the following 20 countries answered the questionnaires: Australia, Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Iraq, Japan, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Turkey and the United States of America. All together these 40 countries represent over 85 percent of the world paper and paperboard production an d the data presented can be considered representative of the recovery, use and trade of recovered paper in the world.
