#32026D0999EU rejects TSG protection for Denizli Tandır Kebabı
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The decision rejects the application to register “Denizli Tandır Kebabı” as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the EU. This means the name will not receive EU-wide TSG protection, and producers cannot rely on this registration to market the product as an EU-protected traditional speciality. The Commission found several problems with the application: the form was incomplete, the applicant was not a producer group made up only of relevant producers, there was no proof of 30 years of traditional use in the EU, the product description was too general, and no power of attorney was provided for the representative. The practical impact is mainly on the Turkish applicant and producers hoping to use EU quality-scheme protection for this product.
