Protection of Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin

A revised fifth list of names was approved by Member States at a Regulatory Meeting on 17 October 1997 and will shortly be published in the Official Journal.

The Commission has also published in the Official Journal of 9 September 1997 the names of four further products under Article 6(2) (normal procedure) of Regulation 2081/92. The names are for two smoked sausages, one bivalve shellfish and one cheese.

Ten further names have become registered under the normal procedure and were published in the Official Journal on 27 September 1997. All ten were Portuguese meat-based products.
