The European Commission has decided to refer Germany to the European Court of Justice for failure to apply to the name 'Parmigiano Reggiano' the Union's legislation on protected designations of origin (PDO). Germany does not give full protection to this PDO within its territory. Use of the name, registered at Union level since 1996, is by law exclusively reserved for producers within a delimited geographical area in Italy who make the cheese in line with a binding specification. |
