The purpose of the scheme is to protect the reputation of regional products, promote traditional and agricultural activity and to eliminate non-genuine products, which may mislead consumers or be of inferior or different character; for example, producers cannot refer to their product as Scotch whisky unless it has been produced within Scotland, following particular methods. There are three schemes of geographical indications, "protected designation of origin" (PDO), "protected geographical indication" (PGI), and "traditional specialities guaranteed" (TSG), which are designed to promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs.The United Kingdom has a total of 65 products with protected status, relatively few when compared with Portugal (125 protected status products), France (217) and Italy (267). Several countries, however, including Ireland (5), Sweden (6) and Austria (14), have a considerably lower count. Most of the products hold either PGI (38) or PDO (25) status, with only two products being designated as TSG.This list, excepting "spirit drinks", is compiled according to the Database of Origin and Registration and E-Bacchus, European Commission databases of all registered products, as well as all products which were formerly registered or for which registration has been applied. The majority of products that hold protected status are foodstuffs fit for human consumption, including cheeses (15), fresh meat and offal (13), meat products (4), fish and molluscs (10), fruit and vegetables (6), wines (4) and spirit drinks (3). While other agricultural products can be included, native Shetland wool is the only non-edible product to hold protected status in the UK."@en }
