🇬🇧 English

This regulation formally registers the Slovak product 'Liptovské šialence' as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the Union register. The name refers to a traditional Slovak sheep's milk cheese product from the Liptov region. Slovakia submitted the application, it was published for opposition on 10 November 2025, and no opposition was received. The Commission therefore proceeds with the registration under Regulation (EU) 2024/1143.
