🇬🇧 English

The amendment updates the protected designation of origin rules for “Lucques du Languedoc”, a French agricultural product. It removes the old parcel identification procedure, updates the list of municipalities in the production area using the 2025 official geographic code, and cleans up labelling text that is no longer needed after EU registration. The practical impact is limited. Producers, certifiers, and authorities working with this PDO should use the updated geographical area and product specification, but the amendment does not change the product name, weaken the link to the region, or add new marketing restrictions.
