Tridge summary

The Ministry of Agriculture in Brazil has published the list of establishments that will be allowed to use the names of European products with a protected geographical indication after the Mercosur-Union agreement is implemented. This agreement, signed in 2019, is pending approval from the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. Products that use the name of European regions as a registration will no longer be able to do so if produced in Brazil. Producers were asked to prove commercial use of these terms before the agreement, and an appeal period is open until June 15 for companies that did not participate in the public consultation.
