Summary

On 31 March 2022 the European Commission published its proposal for a Regulation on EU geographical indications (GIs) for wine, spirit drinks and agricultural products. The proposal will not make fundamental changes to the current system for registering GIs, but aims to improve certain aspects of its operation. The European Parliament and Council of the EU have made recommendations on the Commission’s proposal. An agreement between the institutions now has to be negotiated.
