🇬🇧 English

This notice announces the publication of a communication regarding an approved standard amendment to a product specification for a registered geographical indication (GI) within the European Union. The amendment was processed under the streamlined 'standard amendment' procedure established by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/27, which governs how minor or non-substantial changes to GI product specifications are handled without requiring the full re-registration process. Geographical indications in the EU — including PDO (Protected Designation of Origin), PGI (Protected Geographical Indication), and TSG (Traditional Speciality Guaranteed) — have legally defined product specifications that producers must adhere to. When a standard amendment is approved by the competent authority of the member state or the Commission, Article 5(4) of Regulation (EU) 2025/27 mandates its publication in the Official Journal of the EU to provide transparency and inform all relevant stakeholders. This publication serves as the formal notice of the amendment entering into force. Producers, certifying bodies, and other parties involved with the affected GI are now required to comply with the updated product specification. The amendment may relate to changes in production methods, geographic boundaries, product description, labelling requirements, or other technical criteria.
