How can we better recognize and protect authentic artisanal craftsmanship from imitations, preserving Europe\u2019s rich territorial heritage and economies?<\/p>

How could we establish a common definition of crafts at the European level, enabling the mapping of craft techniques, materials, and designs with deep regional roots, while identifying endangered professions?<\/p>

Additionally, how can crafts benefit from the Geographical indications for craft and industrial products<\/a> (GIs) regulation for craft and industrial products, and how can we contribute to its further development?<\/p>
