Tüzük sadece coğrafi işaretleri ve menşe adları ile ilgili hükümleri içermemekte ayrıca geleneksel özellikli ürünleri ve ihtiyari kalite terimleri ile ilgili hükümleri de içermektedir. Avrupa Birliği’nde coğrafi işaret ve menşe adı tescilli tarım ürünleri ve gıda maddelerinin 2010 yılında toplam satışı 15.8 milyar Avro’dur2. Ticaret hacminin bu kadar çok olduğu coğrafi işaret ve menşe adı tescilli ürünlerin ulusal ve uluslararası alanda korunmaları her geçen gün önem kazanmaktadır. Makalede coğrafi işaret ve menşe adı başvurusunun en önemli belgesi olan şartname kavramı ile ilgili açıklamalar ve şartname hazırlanırken dikkat edilecek hususlar incelenmektedir. Makalede ayrıca 1151/2012 sayılı Avrupa Parlamentosu ve Konseyi Tarım Ürünleri ve Gıda Maddeleri ile İlgili Kalite Düzenlemeleri Tüzüğü’nün kapsamı, tüzükte tanımlanan menşe adı ve coğrafi işaret kavramları, tüzükte belirtilen şartname kavramı ve konuyla ilgili önemli Avrupa Birliği Adalet Divanı Kararlarına yer verilmektedir
