As the EU state with the highest number of registered GIs, Italy stands to benefit the most from the changes.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, the new regulation consolidates into a single text much of the existing EU legislation on the protection of GIs for agrifood products, wines and spirits; it also considerably improves the EU\u2019s protection system for GIs.<\/p>\n<p>The text submitted to parliament in the autumn of 2023, pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement, already spelled good news for the quality agrifood sector as it included the following improvements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>streamlined and quicker registration procedures for GIs<\/li>\n<li>stronger protection for GIs also online, notably against the use of protected terms as domain names<\/li>\n<li>greater power and responsibilities for recognised producer associations;<\/li>\n<li>enhanced visibility for sustainable practices in agrifood and wine production;<\/li>\n<li>protection for GIs employed as ingredients in packaged food products, with mandatory notification if the ingredient is named on the label or marketing material.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The European Parliament has now amended the text in order to further strengthen protection for GIs, as summarised below.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Stronger enforcement offline and online<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>National authorities of EU member states must put in place administrative and judicial measures to prevent or stop illegal use of GIs both offline and online. Domain names using GIs illegally must be shut down or access to them must be disabled via geo-blocking. A domain name alert system is to be set up by the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office).<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Protection of GIs as ingredients in processed products<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A GI designating a product that is used as an ingredient in a processed product may be used in the name, labelling or advertising of the processed product upon condition that the GI ingredient is used in sufficient quantity to confer an essential characteristic to the processed product, and that no other comparable product is used. The percentage of the ingredient shall be shown in the label; a recognised producer group for the GI ingredient must be notified in advance and may issue recommendation for the correct use of the GI.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Protection for GI\u2019s image and value<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Swifter procedures will be introduced for GI producers to prevent or counter commercial practices jeopardising the image and value of their products; it will be mandatory to show the producer\u2019s name alongside the GI on packaging.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Quicker GI registration, Commission in charge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A new six-month deadline is introduced for the examination of applications to register a GI; the European Commission will remain in charge of the EU\u2019s GI protection system.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Entry into force<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new regulation should be published in the Official Journal of the EU in April 2024 and will enter into force 20 days after publication, save for a few provisions (including the ones concerning the procedure to oppose the registration of a GI) that will enter into force on 1 January 2025.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Further information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Questions on protecting agrifood products in the European Union? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sib.it\/en\/queries\/\"
