Abstract
Abstract Protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI) and traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG) are currently regulated by Regulation (EU) No. 1151/2012 (repealing Council Regulations (EC) No. 509/2006 and 510/2006) with respect to their legal definition, labelling, registration and control of product compliance with the legal definition. This regulation represents the accomplishment of the need for general quality-linked protection of geographical indications, also covering origin designations, acknowledged by the Commission in the 1980s in the Communication ‘The future of rural society’ that can be considered the first legal document dealing with protected designations in Europe. In comparison to the first framework for a Community scheme to register and protect products to be qualified as PDO, PGI and TSG (Council Regulations (EEC) No. 2081/92 and No. 2082/92), the latest regulations introduced both additional information in terms of application procedure, labelling, enforcement activities and control of compliance, and a key element of enlargement of the quality scheme to third-country producers and new geographical origins.
