Registration & protection of GIs, TSGs and optional quality terms

This procedure sets out detailed rules for registering and protecting specific EU quality schemes for agricultural products. These schemes, like geographical indications and traditional specialities, help safeguard traditional food names and ensure product authenticity, benefiting both producers and consumers.

It affects producers of agricultural products seeking to register under these schemes and consumers looking for authentic, high-quality regional foods. The regulation also repeals an older, similar piece of legislation.
