The Council took note of the two proposals on agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed (TSG) and on the protection of geographical indications (GI) and designations of origin (DO) for agricultural products and foodstuffs.
The Council invited the Special Committee on Agriculture to continue its examination of those proposals with a view to reaching agreement at a forthcoming Council meeting, taking into account the deadline of 3 April set in the context of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) for implementation of the Panel.
