Regulation on sourcing, certain procedural rules and certain additional transitional rules

This regulation establishes standardized Union symbols for protected designations of origin (PDO), protected geographical indications (PGI), and traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG). These symbols help consumers easily identify high-quality food and agricultural products that are tied to specific regions or traditional methods, ensuring authenticity and preventing fraud in the agri-food market.

This affects food producers, marketers, and retailers of specialty agricultural products. It introduces clear visual standards for labeling and updates the rules on how these products are sourced and registered.
