Background
Applications for registration of PDOs and PGIs received by the European Commission are published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
If no statement of opposition has been received by the European Commission within 3 months, the PDO/PGI is registered as geographical indication in the EU register (eAmbrosia) and granted protection in the EU (Regulations 2024/1143 and 2025/26).
For further information on the EU’s system for protecting geographical indications, see Geographical indications for agricultural products and foodstuffs explained.
