Protection of the names of Agricultural Products & Foodstuffs

Introduction:

A European system for the protection of the geographical names of certain foodstuffs (which have a tangible link to the geographical area after which they are named) is set out under Council Regulation 510/2006. Protection afforded under the system is absolute and extends to translations of the name, evocation, misuse or imitation.

Double click on the following link to view the current list of applications throughout the EU: An objection to the proposed registrations can be sent to the Food Division of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Kildare Street, Dublin 2. Tel: (01) 6072390, Fax: (01) 6072038. Objections must be forwarded in writing within the stated time limits.
