Abstract/Description:

Chapter 5 deals with the protection of GIs and designations of origin for spirits in Europe and looks at the regime inaugurated by Regulation (EC) No 110/2008 on the definition, description, presentation, labelling and the protection of geographical indications of spirit drinks. This chapter also examines Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 716/2013 of 25 July 2013, which contains rules dealing in particular with the use of compound terms, allusions, sales denominations and GIs for the presentation of spirit drinks and the application and objections process for GIs. It details the proposed new 2019 regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the definition, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks, the use of the names of spirit drinks in the presentation and labelling of other foodstuffs and the protection of geographical indications for spirit drinks. The chapter looks at the case law dealing with: ‘Whisky’ ‘Cognac’ and ‘Calvados’.
