15/06/2023-Agreement on the EU Regulation on geographical indication protection for craft and industrial products

On 2 May, the “trilogue” (Commission, Parliament and Council) reached a provisional agreement on the Regulation on geographical indication protection for craft and industrial products (press release of the Council here and of the European Parliament here). On 24 May, the Member States’ ambassadors to the EU approved such agreement, followed by the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament (comJURI) on 30 May. Before the Regulation enters into force, the plenary session of the European Parliament has to give its approval (vote expected in July) and then the Council has to formally adopt it.
