Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Forslaget supplerer den eksisterende EU-forordning om beskyttelse af geografiske betegnelser for håndværks- og industriprodukter. Forslaget skal sikre fair konkurrence for producenter af håndværks- og industriprodukter på det indre marked, beskytte og udvikle kulturarven samt sikre, at forbrugerne har adgang til pålidelige oplysninger om sådanne produkter. Der skal bl.a. fastsættes regler om beskyttelse, registrering, kontrol og håndhævelse af geografiske betegnelser for produkterne. Forslaget ønskes færdigbehandlet i dette folketingsår. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. december 2025.
