#52026XC01833Publication of Application for Protected Name in the Wine Sector under EU Regulation No 1308/2013
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice announces the publication of a formal application submitted to the European Commission seeking protected status for a specific wine name under Article 97(3) of EU Regulation No 1308/2013, which governs the common organisation of agricultural markets. The publication initiates a mandatory scrutiny period during which any EU member state, third country, or natural/legal person with a legitimate interest may file a reasoned statement of opposition. Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides a framework for designations of origin (PDO) and geographical indications (PGI) in the wine sector. A successful application grants exclusive use of the protected name to producers meeting defined product specifications within a designated geographical area, prohibiting misuse or imitation across the EU single market. The publication in the Official Journal of the European Union triggers a three-month opposition window. Interested parties must submit oppositions through their national competent authorities or directly where permitted. If no admissible opposition is received, the Commission may proceed to register the name, conferring legal protection throughout the EU and in countries with bilateral agreements.
