Transcript from Jose Vouillamoz interview:
Indigenous - these are the varieties that are native, that were born on the site. Either we have evidence that they were born here. For example, if I can find the parents through DNA profiling. If I can show that Variety C was born from parents A and B are from Switzerland then C is Swiss. It works the same for people.
Even if A and B - say A's French and B's Italian and they met in Switzerland... would it still be considered an indigenous variety?
We have to. Indigenous from the Latin etymology means 'born on the site', so we kind of apply the American law - if you are born on American soil, you are American.
