China and the EU signed the “Joint Statement on Ending the Negotiation of the Agreement on the Protection and Cooperation of Geographical Indications” on November 6，2019，which marked the beginning of the mutual recognition protection of geographical indication products between the two actors. The EU has been applying geographical indications as one of the important ways to protect intellectual property rights for a long time，thus it has a good foundation and wide influence in this respect. At present，it has formed a protection system benefiting various industries in the EU，and has promoted it to the globe through bilateral and multilateral economic and trade negotiations. The signing of the “China-EU Geographical Indications Protection Agreement” not only reflects China’s determination to strengthen intellectual property protection and releases a new round of high-level opening to the outside world，but also will play a positive role in deepening China-EU economic and trade relations and enhancing the international competitiveness of Chinese agricultural products. However，the agreement will bring a series of challenges to China. Based on this，this paper proposes to make good use of this opportunity to connect with high international standards，and then actively improve the quality and efficiency of Chinese agriculture，strive for an advantage on international economic and trade issues.
