After an extensive consultation process with stakeholders, a PGI application for Irish Grass Fed Beef was submitted to the European Commission last November by Bord Bia, on behalf of producers.    

The European Commission last week responded to this application with technical queries which are now being examined. 

If the queries just received are addressed to the Commission’s satisfaction, the next stage of the process will be publication of an ‘EU opposition procedure’, i.e. a consultation process for interested parties from other EU Member States or third countries.
