40PA What this Division is about
(1) This Division deals with the determining of geographical indications (GIs) in relation to a region or locality in Australia.
Note: Geographical indications, and translations of such indications, in relation to wine originating in a foreign country are not determined under this Division. They are determined by the Committee under regulations made for the purposes of Division 4B (unless they are in a prescribed wine‑trading agreement).
(2) Subdivisions B and C deal with the powers of the Committee and applications for the determination of GIs. Subdivision D deals with objections to the determination of a GI on the basis of pre‑existing trade mark rights. GIs are determined under Subdivision E. (3) The regulations may modify the operation of this Division to remove any inconsistency with the operation of regulations made for the purposes of Division 4B.
