The protection of geographical indications of agricultural products and foodstuffs

This procedure concerns an agreement between the EU and Moldova to protect geographical indications (GIs) for agricultural products and foodstuffs. GIs identify products originating from specific regions with unique qualities linked to their origin.

This agreement aims to enhance trade by ensuring fair competition and preventing misuse of protected names. It affects producers of agricultural goods and food in both the EU and Moldova, promoting higher quality products.
