Georgian products will be patented on the world markets to protect them, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vera Kobalia said at a meeting.

She commented on the fact of selling Georgian wines, khachapuri, churhelami with Armenian labels in the Russian store in Paris.

She said that the actions of both the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Agriculture are required to register many products produced in Georgia and then export them.

She said that today a lot of Georgian products are not registered, so the situation is complicated.

"We must resolve the issue of registration and apply to those companies that manufacture counterfeit products and legally require to withdraw it from the market. Falsification spoils the image of Georgian products. We have many unique products. They must be preserved," Kobalia said.
