Traduction de «Fabricant original » (Français → Anglais) :

nevertheless, where an agricultural or other product or a foodstuff possesses particular characteristics which are due to its geographical origin, it is possible for the producers of the product or foodstuff to apply, through the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, for registration at Community level of a protected designation of origin (PDO) or a protected geographical indication (PGI) in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs ; the granting of registration means t ...[+++]hat the Community has recognised the existence of very close links between the specific qualities of the product concerned and its geographical origin; in such cases, the common interest does not oppose the granting of aid for advertising which includes a reference to the origin of the product concerned, provided that the references to origin correspond exactly to those references which have been registered by the Community; similar considerations apply to other designations of origin which are protected under Community legislation, for example wines produced in specified regions in accordance with Articles 54–58 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May on the common organisation of the market in wine

All products, including models originally qualified under previous imaging equipment specifications, with a date of manufacture on or after the effective date, must meet the new Version 1.0 requirements in order to qualify for ENERGY STAR (including additional manufacturing runs of models originally qualified under previous specifications).

To paraphrase the crux of the debate, as articulated in 2001 around Bill S-17, which was to implement the WTO findings, on the one hand, generics claim that innovator companies are routinely adding new patents to the register in order to delay generic competition on the original product well past expiry of the basic product patent. On the other hand, innovators insist that subsequent patents only serve to protect incremental innovation and that there is nothing they can do to prevent generics from coming to market on the original product once the basic patent expires.

Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin-rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp), or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin-rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning), or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the fabric.

Therefore synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the origin rules (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of the two may be used provided their total weight does not exceed 10 per cent of the weight of the fabric.

One of the problems we do have is that some of this equipment is manufactured offshore or in the United States, and often we do not get quite the answer we might like to get from the original manufacturer as to whether it's compliant or not.
