View answer

Written answers

My Department, as the Competent Authority for Protected Geographical Indications (PGI), checks that the information provided by an applicant is compliant with the relevant EU Regulation governing the scheme.

In regard to the application concerned, following scrutiny by my Department, queries on matters contained in the application documents were sent to the applicant’s representative on 16th February 2021.

Once the applicant has reviewed the documents and re-submits them to my Department, they will be re-examined to determine the application’s adherence to the EU rules.
