Nature of the grounds for cancellation: Article 106(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

The Syndicat des vins des Sables, recognised body for the protection and management of the PGI ‘Sable de Camargue’, has submitted an application to register the same name as a protected designation of origin (PDO). After examining the application, and in accordance with Article 96 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the French authorities consider that the regulatory requirements have been met. The specifications were approved by Decree of 6 May 2022, published in the Official Journal of the French Republic on 10 May 2022. Article 3 of this Decree also repeals the Decree of 26 October 2011 on the protected geographical indication ‘Sable de Camargue’.

In order to allow the move from PGI to PDO and to avoid any coexistence of the names of these two geographical indications, the application for registration as a PDO is sent in parallel to this cancellation request via the e-ambrosia information system under reference PDO-FR-A02848.
