Japan: MAFF Approves 70 EU-Proposed GIs for Agricultural Items

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries approved 70 European Union (EU)-proposed geographical indications for agricultural items on December 15, 2017. NOTE: The EU had been seeking protections for 71 agricultural items, but a formal decision on “Comté” will come later -- after the extended public comment period closes on January 29, 2018. The 70 protections will become effective on the date the Japan-EU Economic Partnership Agreement enters into force (currently anticipated to occur in 2019).
