The Parliament and Council have adopted a regulation on geographical indications for wine, spirit drinks and agricultural products. The new legislation brings together in a single legal document the provisions setting out the procedures for registering geographical indications (GIs) for wine, spirit drinks and agricultural products that are currently spread over three regulations. It increases the powers and responsibilities of producer groups, lays down rules on sustainability practices, clarifies rules on the use of GI products as ingredients, and improves the protection of GI products online. The Commission will remain in charge of the management of geographical indications, with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) only providing technical assistance and maintaining the GI register.
The new regulation entered into force on 13 May 2024.
