🇬🇧 English

The notice opens the EU opposition period for registering “Čepinski kupus”, a Croatian white cabbage, as a protected designation of origin. If approved, the name would be reserved for cabbage that meets the product description and comes from the defined area in Croatia. Producers, food businesses, and public authorities with a legitimate interest have three months to challenge the application. The practical effect is mainly on agricultural branding and food-label protection, not on general cabbage sales across the EU.

Key Changes

  • Starts a three-month EU opposition period for the proposed PDO registration of “Čepinski kupus”.
  • Defines the product as a Croatian white cabbage variety with specific physical characteristics.
  • Would protect the name if the application is approved, limiting its use to qualifying products from the defined Croatian area.
