#32026D1062EU Rejects PGI Protection for Denizli Leblebisi
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The decision rejects Türkiye’s application to register “Denizli Leblebisi” as a protected geographical indication in the EU. That means the name will not receive EU-level PGI protection, and producers cannot rely on this application to market the product under the EU geographical indication scheme. The Commission found that the application did not meet several filing requirements. The applicant was not accepted as a proper producer group, proof of protection in Türkiye was missing in an EU official language, origin-control procedures were incomplete, and competent authority contact details were not provided. The applicant was given a chance to fix the issues but did not address them.
