Review of each of legal acts published today:

This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1066 registers ‘Aydın Çam Fıstığı’ as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in the Union register of geographical indications. The registration is based on an application from Türkiye that was received before Regulation (EU) 2024/1143 came into force. Since no opposition was received, the geographical indication is now officially protected within the EU.

The regulation consists of a preamble and two articles. The preamble explains the legal basis and the background for the registration, referring to the relevant articles of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143 and Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. Article 1 formally registers ‘Aydın Çam Fıstığı’ (PDO). Article 2 states that the regulation will enter into force twenty days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and confirms that the regulation is binding and directly applicable in all Member States. This regulation implements the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, which repealed Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 but maintains the validity of applications submitted under the previous regulation.

The most important provision is Article 1, which grants ‘Aydın Çam Fıstığı’ (PDO) protection within the EU. This means that only products that meet the specific criteria outlined in the product specification and originate from the defined geographical area can be marketed under that name. This protection helps to ensure the authenticity and quality of the product, as well as to protect producers in the Aydın region of Türkiye from unfair competition.

This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1068 officially registers “Pulpo Seco de Adra” as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) in the Union register. This registration confirms that “Pulpo Seco de Adra” meets the criteria for TSG status, ensuring its protection and recognition within the European Union. The regulation formalizes the inclusion of this Spanish product in the register, acknowledging its traditional character.

The regulation consists of a preamble that cites the relevant legal basis, including the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, and references the prior publication of Spain’s application. It also notes that no objections were received during the opposition period. The operative part includes two articles: Article 1 states that ‘Pulpo Seco de Adra’ is entered in the Union register of TSG. Article 2 specifies the date of entry into force of the regulation. This regulation repeals and replaces the previous Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

The most important provision is Article 1, which grants TSG status to “Pulpo Seco de Adra”. This registration provides legal protection against misuse, imitation, and evocation of the name, and it ensures that the product adheres to the defined traditional recipe and production method.
