**Policy Summary: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/2739**
This regulation, enacted by the European Commission on November 30, 2023, officially registers "Halitzia Tillirias" as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). The legal basis for this action is Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs, specifically Article 52(2). The application for registration, submitted by Cyprus, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ C 290, 18.8.2023, p. 57). As no objections were received during the opposition period stipulated in Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the registration process was completed. Article 1 of the regulation formally enters "Halitzia Tillirias PGI" into the register, classifying it under Class 1.3, Cheeses, as defined in Annex XI to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 668/2014. The regulation came into force on December 27, 2023, the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJ L series 2023/2739, 7.12.2023). The regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. The regulation was signed on behalf of the Commission by Janusz Wojciechowski, Member of the Commission.
