Le Conseil des Appellations Réservées et des Termes Valorisants provides the Québec government, industry, the media, non-governmental organizations and consumers with information on standards, the assessment of certification bodies, requirements relating to marketing of reserved-designation products, and the system for monitoring reserved designations and added-value claims.
Various means are employed to fulfil the Conseil’s mission to provide targeted groups with information on the Act respecting Reserved Designations and Added-Value Claims and Québec’s system for recognizing and monitoring designations.
