Latest GI and TSG applications
The second is not for a PGI or a PDO but for a much less common creature -- a TSG ("Traditional Specialities Guaranteed"). The term for which protection is sought is OLEJ RYDZOWY. As the application states:
"Olej rydzowy (gold-of-pleasure oil, also know as camelina oil) is produced from the plant Camelina sativa, i.e. gold-of-pleasure or false flax: The Polish name is ‘lnianka siewna’, it is also popularly called ‘rydz’, ‘rydzyk’, ‘ryzyk’, or, more seldom, ‘lennica’. Some regions of Poland only use the popular name of this plant, i.e. ‘rydz’ which is due to its exceptionally rusty-coloured seeds. The colour is similar to that of the mushroom Lactarius deliciosus (Saffron milk cap), called ‘rydz’ in Polish and found all over the country. It is precisely because of the rusty colour of the gold-of-pleasure seeds that we call the oil made from them ‘olej rydzowy’".

Latest GI and TSG applications
"This application derogates from Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 on account of the fact that there is only one producer in the area. The requirements laid down in Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 are fulfilled since the applicant is the only producer in the defined area and ‘Znojemské pivo’ is produced in the defined area according to the method described below, from raw materials possessing the properties and quality prescribed and using local water sources, which lends ‘Znojemské pivo’ its specific characteristics and sets it apart from beers produced in the surrounding areas. The unique character of the production derives from the town's centuries-old brewing tradition in the defined area. The indication ‘Znojemské pivo’ is traditionally and exclusively linked only with the area in question".
