Geographical indications: aligning EU rules with changes to the provisions under the Lisbon Agreement

JURI · Dainius Žalimas (Renew)

8 October 2026 | Lead committee approved the trilogue deal

What's next: The deal is provisional: it still needs a plenary vote in Parliament and formal adoption by the Council. Although confirmation is expected, either institution can still decline.

Summary: This proposal aims to update European rules about geographical indications—special labels that protect products named after their region of origin—to match changes made to an international agreement on the same subject. The changes would ensure that European protections for regional products like Champagne or Parmigiano-Reggiano stay aligned with evolving international standards.
