Geographical Indications from Chile to be protected as Geographical Indications in the European Union

Within the on-going negotiations with Chile for a Modernised Free Trade Agreement (hereafter ‘the Agreement’) including a chapter on Geographical Indications, the Chilean authorities have presented, for protection under the Agreement, the attached list of geographical indications. The European Commission is currently considering whether these Geographical Indications shall be protected under the future Agreement.

The Commission invites any Member State or third country or any natural or legal person having a legitimate interest, resident or established in a Member State or in a third country, to submit oppositions to such protection by lodging a duly substantiated statement.

Statements of opposition must reach the Commission within one month of the date of this publication. Statements of opposition should be sent to the following e-mail address: AGRI-A3@ec.europa.eu

Statements of opposition shall be examined only if they are received within the time-limit set out above and if they show that the protection of the name proposed would:
