Will Croatia's intention to protect wine and spirit names affect you?
Accession negotiations between the European Union and the Republic of Croatia, including the Protection of Geographical Indications of wines, aromatised wines and spirits are underway. In this context, the protection in the European Union, as geographical indications, of the names set out in the document referred to below is under consideration. 

Inclusion of the nearly 30 names requested by Croatia in the Accession Treaty can only take place after carrying out an examination and objection procedure. For these names protection will be granted on the date of accession, limited to a transitional period in which Croatia has to submit the complete files. 

The Commission invites any Member State or third country or any natural or legal persons having a legitimate interest, resident or established in a Member State or in a third country, to submit objections to such protection by lodging a duly substantiated statement. Statements of objection must reach the Commission within two months of the date of this publication. Statements of objection should be sent to the following e-mail address: AGRI-B2@ec.europa.eu
