In Portugal like in other Mediterranean Countries there is a group of food products which constitutes a main cultural heritage of this country due to their tradition, age, quality and importance concerning [0 consumption habits.
For that reason it is important not only to keep that heritage hut al so transmit it to future generations and take advantage or the huge possibilities or some products to allow the developing or underprivileged regions where most or they come from

APPLICATION OF THE REGULATIONS 2081 AND 2082/92 IN PORTUGAL, THEIR IMPORTANCE IN THE ORGANIZATION AND VALUATION OF THE PORTUGUESE TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS F . ./. Rll;V(} de SOl/f a Ass()ci(/ ~ '{/O C r iudo /"(!s BOI'il/ os R(I (,a Mim l/desa , POi'll/gal In Portugal. like in oliler Medi te rranean Count ries. there is a group of fooel products which constit utes a ma in cul tural heritage of thi s country due to their tradition. age. qual ity and import,:lIlce concerning [0 consumption habits. For Ihat reason. it is important 110t only to keep lhal hcriwgc hut al so transmit it to future generati ons. and take advan tage or the huge poss ibi lit ies or so me products to a llow [he developing or underprivileged regions where Illost or they come from. The quality feat ures of the tradi ti onal prod ucts arc due un llle one hand. to the geographical orig in. be ing thi s rea tures in fl ue nced by the climrtle. soils and IOGiI vegetat ion, and on the other hal1(1. to the prodw::crs ' co mlllo n local practices. In other cases qual ity depends on specific prodw.: tion mcthods real secrets transmitted through gcner:lli oll s which delenninc the fe atures of trnditiona l produc ts . From all these products. the ones o f an imal orig in arc stood out. such as checses. smoke cured products and sausagcs. hams and rresh mcat Dr bovine. gom and lamhs o f local breeds. These produt:ts are considered as rea l de licious foods, due to the ir fl avours, aromas and unques lionah lc qualily . To preserve these produc ts in the fut ure. in Portugal, thc Regulati ons (CEE) 208 1192 have heen very import ant. T hese Regulations arc related rcspcc ti ve ly to the Guarantee o f Origins Protec tion (DOP). Geographical indicatio ns (lGP). and to the Guaranteed Tradi tional Specia lities (ETG). These Regulation s, apart from preventing the fraudu le lll usc o r these products names; they also make possi hle the Production Organi sat io n o f these prOllucts and an improvement. a lready e viden t. as regard with commerciali satio ll and marketing o f all these prod ucts . The Normati ve 293/93 estab li shed the appliea.tion ru les o f these Regulalioll s in Port ugal. be ing nowadays the General Director~lIc of Rura l Develo pment. of Ihc Agricul ture Mi nistry. Rura l and ri shi ng Development. the Organisation respo nsible for the adm inistratio n and supervisi on o f the estah li shed system. Wil hill Ihi s Insti tution there arc two main groups wit h perfectly defined areas. which are : the Producers Associa tirlll (AI' ) and the Privnte Organisati on Ur Co t1tro l and Ccrlifi<.:ation (OPC)' The producers Associations have thc fo llowi ng tasks: -To e laborate two no tebooks o f spec ificat io ns. sl<.l rt ing in thi s way thl.! process o f ret:ogn iti on o f the prodlH: ts such as DOP. IGP. or ETG : -to pro pose a private organisa tion o r cOll lrol a nd ce rt ifi cat ion (OPC); - to prumo te and spread thc product cOllllllerc ia lly: - 10 cOlll merc ia li se . if [he associ ~lIcd produce rs wished. the products to gather olTe r and itnprovc lhc comllle],t:ia l d istribut ion c lTiciency : - to he alcrt to the market detec ti ng and denollnc ing nil the frauds or situatio n o r unfai r competit ion: -to fi ne al! those prod ucers breaking the production rul c~ defined in the spec ificatio ns notebook; 52~ • fina lly, it is important to remark that having ordered the defence of the products to the producers, a great effort among them was achieved, and thi s cOl1lributcd, a great deal , 10 the success or this system in Portugal. The Private Organi sati on of COl1lrol and CenificJ tion (OPC) is appoi nted by the AP, to gUJrantee the fu lfil ment of the production regulations Jnd ensure the qual ity of the products for which they were protected. therefore, the ope controls all the production stages, from the origin of the first goods 10 the fin al prmluct and, if everyth ing is all right. this organisation certifies the products with a ce rt ification mark in the products. To be ablc to do these tasks the OPC, (jppoi med by the A.P. has to be recognised by the Public Administ ration, this only will lake place if the ope prev iously demonstratcs ohjectivity, independence of thc A.P., technical and human competence to carry out its tasks, imparti ali ty ,IS regard wi th the products, and manufactures. Finally this organisati on has to demonst ratc full rigor in the controls carried out. Annually, these Organisations must present , to the General Direc torate of Rural Devclopmenl. a report of ac ti vities, describi ng the control measures carr ied out, the number of controlled producers, the prices applied to those producers the q U<llll ities of certi fied products, among ot her pieces of information . It is necessary to remark that the work of the ope is to verify the production conditions an e! guarantee that the product offered the consumers is the genuine one. These control s are independent or those carried Ollt by the olTidal au thorities, being protected products or no\. These products, npan from the lega l regu laLions, they obey as well to the spec ific product ion rules appeared in the specification notebook. This ve rification consists o r ve rifying the sanitary conditions of the product as well as all the produc tion and commercialisation process. III Portuga l there are al ready 6 1 protected products registered hy the E.C. with guarantee or origin o r Geographica l Indications, from which 29 are animal origin products, as it can be checked in the annexed lis\. Thi s lis t isn't still closed, since there arc a lot or products, ovcr all sausages and smoke-cured ones, some c heeses and carcasses as well as vegetable products which arc being recognised at the mome nt. The European campai gn for the promotion of the concepts sueh as: Guarantee oj' Origin, Geographical Indication and Guaranteed Trad itional speciality tog4ether with conSllmers and producers who wi ll takc pari in th is system soon , will cont ribute to a greater introduction of these products in the market of the European products of qUiliity. T he Producers' Associations, much beller organised these days, and alert (0 the market opportunity will take advantage of this eOlTImunilarian ini tiati ve deve loping para llel actions of promotion to increase the knowledge of the ir products and the consumers. Great advances have been made in this fi eld, but not everything is controlled yet, there arc some falsifi cations o r the products, spec ia ll y in cheeses; Most or the shopkcepers don't know these rcgu lat ions and they LI se some registered names erroneously defrauding in that way [he consumers. Who at same ti me are not inrormed enough and they don' t know for example that they can ca ll for the presence of the cert ification mark of Ihe protected product he wishes to buy, The General Directorate or the Rural Development is aware of these problems and looks, the ir solution through comJcts wi th othe r organisat ion of the Publ ic Administration, Shopkeepers Professional Associ ations, Social means of Communication and, obviously, the Producers Associations. The greatest profcssionalizat ion already show n by the Producers Associations of the Protected products. toge ther with the creation o f the "Assoeia~ao POrlugesa dos Qucij os Tradicionais" will provide interesting ex periences and a faster evol ution. Greater negotiation wi th other memhers and from diffe re nt distribution sources, [he introduction of 529 marked products which still haven·t been elaborated. among other e lemcn ts. e tc; wi ll sure ly contribute 10 th is scc tor expansion.
