AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation approves a Union amendment to the product specification of the French geographical indication for the spirit drink previously known as ‘Marc de Champagne / Eau-de-vie de marc de Champagne’. The primary change is the official renaming of the GI to ‘Marc champenois / Eau-de-vie de marc champenois’. The amendment application was originally submitted by France under the previous legal framework and published for opposition. No statements of opposition were received. The Commission therefore formally approves the updated product specification, allowing the new name to be used exclusively for the protected spirit drink.
