What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on China, furthermore, to support the existing multilateral framework protecting GIs by becoming a member of the WIPO Lisbon Agreement and the Geneva Act, in force since 26 February 2020
• Urges both parties to this agreement to strengthen their cooperation and coordination with regard to the protection and use of GIs at regional and/or global levels through the corresponding organisations and fora
• Notes that the EU has a large trade deficit with China, but recalls that in the area of agri-food products the EU has a trade surplus
