REQUEST FOR CANCELLATION OF A GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION

(Article 25(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143)

PDO-NL-02169-CANCEL – 22.10.2024

4.   The name of the Member State or third country, from which the geographical indication originates

The Netherlands

5.   The name of the Member State or third country authority submitting the request for cancellation to the Commission or the indication that the request for cancellation of the registration is submitted to the Commission directly by the third country producers of the product marketed under the registered name and the name of the agent mandated by the producers to send the request (the obligation to mandate an agent does not apply in case of single producer)

The Netherlands

6.   In case of request from a Member State, indicate whether the request for cancellation at the national stage of the procedure was made by the producers of the product marketed under the registered name or by the recognised producer group of that product. In this case insert the name of the recognised producer group

7.   Classification of the product in accordance with the Combined Nomenclature heading and code, as referred to in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143

2204 – Wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must other than that of heading 2009

8.   Type of cancellation

On 8 July 2024 the name ‘Twente’ (PDO) was included in the Union register of geographical indications. The geographical area of the name ‘Ambt Delden’ (PDO) was also included in this name’s geographical area. The geographical area of ‘Ambt Delden’ (PDO) has thus become part of that of ‘Twente’ (PDO). The duplicate geographical area created has therefore made the name ‘Ambt Delden’ (PDO) superfluous, leading to a producer request to cancel the registration of this name. In accordance with Article 25(2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, a request to cancel the registration of ‘Ambt Delden’ (PDO) is submitted.

Request for cancellation signed and dated.
