6. Considers that introducing different levels ofthe double level of protection (national and Community) could be one of the instruments to obviate the growing demand for PDOs and PGIs for small-scale proteduction for European quality designations could create unfairness, especially if the main criteria employed are economic; believes, therefore, that all geographical indications should enjoy the same degree of recognitionproducts with purely local distribution; also considers that although national protection, which is based on the same selective criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 but is managed nationally by the individual Member States using domestic procedures, does not ensure protection at European level, it would enable products to establish themselves in local markets and allow access to rural development programmes, without creating conflict with designations of origin which are recognised at Community level;
