Essentially, it means that only chestnut sweets produced in Bursa, according to specific standards, can be sold in the EU using that name.  This aims to protect the product&#8217;s reputation and prevent consumer deception.<\/p>\n<h3>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2315: Name Change for &#8216;Scottish Salmon&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>This regulation approves a change to the product specification of &#8216;Scottish Farmed Salmon&#8217;, renaming it to &#8216;Scottish Salmon&#8217;. This modifies the legally protected designation, impacting how the product can be marketed and labeled within the EU.<\/p>\n<h3>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2332: Avian Influenza and Poultry Imports<\/h3>\n<p>This regulation amends existing rules regarding the import of poultry and poultry products from Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.  Due to recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), certain regions within these countries have had their status updated. This means that the EU is adjusting import restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease, either suspending or re-authorizing imports from specific affected areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2298: Easing Import Restrictions on Specific Willow Plants from the UK<\/h3>\n<p>This regulation modifies import rules for certain plants from the United Kingdom.  Specifically, it removes goat willow (Salix caprea) and grey willow (Salix cinerea) from the list of high-risk plants, provided they originate in the UK and meet certain import requirements. This means that these willow species can be imported under less stringent conditions, following an assessment of reduced phytosanitary risk.<\/p>\n<h3>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2317: Protecting &#8216;\u0130psala Pirinci&#8217; Rice<\/h3>\n<p>This regulation registers &#8220;\u0130psala Pirinci&#8221; as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).  This gives legal protection within the EU to rice produced in the \u0130psala region of T\u00fcrkiye, ensuring that only rice from that specific area, made according to established standards, can be sold under that name. It aims to safeguard the product&#8217;s unique characteristics and the livelihoods of local producers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Review of each of legal acts published today:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/AUTO\/?uri=CELEX:32025R2318\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2318 of 10\u00a0November 2025 on the registration of the geographical indication Bursa Kestane \u015eekeri (PGI) in the Union register of geographical indications pursuant to Regulation (EU)\u00a02024\/1143 of the European Parliament and of the Council<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2318 registers \u2018Bursa Kestane \u015eekeri\u2019 as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the Union register. This means that the name \u2018Bursa Kestane \u015eekeri\u2019 can only be used for chestnut sweets originating from Bursa, T\u00fcrkiye, and produced according to specific standards. The regulation formalizes the protection of this product&#8217;s geographical indication within the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation consists of a preamble outlining the legal basis and reasoning behind the decision, followed by two articles. Article 1 formally registers \u2018Bursa Kestane \u015eekeri\u2019 (PGI) in the Union register of geographical indications, as per Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2024\/1143. Article 2 specifies that the regulation will come 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 is based on an application from T\u00fcrkiye that was already in progress under the previous Regulation (EU) No 1151\/2012, and it transitions the application to the new framework established by Regulation (EU) 2024\/1143.<\/p>\n<p>The most important provision is Article 1, which grants PGI status to \u2018Bursa Kestane \u015eekeri\u2019. This legal protection ensures that only products genuinely originating from Bursa and meeting the defined specifications can be marketed under that name within the EU. This protects consumers from misleading products and supports the producers in the Bursa region by preserving the reputation of their traditional product.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/AUTO\/?uri=CELEX:32025R2315\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2315 of 10\u00a0November 2025 approving a Union amendment to the product specification of the protected geographical indication Scottish Farmed Salmon pursuant to Regulation (EU)\u00a02024\/1143 of the European Parliament and of the Council<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2315 approves a Union amendment to the product specification of the protected geographical indication (PGI).

Article 1 approves the amendment to the product specification, specifically the name change. Article 2 states that the regulation will enter into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and confirms that the regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

The regulation addresses recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation is structured into two articles and an annex. Article 1 states that Annexes V and XIV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021\/404 are amended in accordance with the Annex to this regulation. Article 2 indicates that the regulation will enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The amendment removes these specific Salix species from the list of high-risk plants, provided they originate in the UK. This decision is based on an assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) which concluded that the phytosanitary risk associated with these plants is reduced to an acceptable level if import requirements are met.<\/p>\n<p>The structure of the act is straightforward. It consists of a preamble that outlines the reasoning behind the amendment, followed by two articles and an annex. Article 1 stipulates the amendment to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018\/2019 according to the details in the annex. Article 2 states the regulation&#8217;s entry into force. The annex provides the specific wording to be inserted into the original regulation, clarifying that only Salix L. plants other than Salix caprea and Salix cinerea from the UK remain on the high-risk list.

This registration is based on an application from T\u00fcrkiye and follows the procedures outlined in Regulation (EU) 2024\/1143, which governs geographical indications for various products.

The regulation ensures that &#8220;\u0130psala Pirinci&#8221; is legally protected within the EU as a product with unique qualities tied to its place of origin.<\/p>\n<p>The structure of the act is straightforward.
