These are the Croatian Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) ‘Zagorski štrukli’ (or ‘Zagorski štruklji’), the Croatian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) ‘Zagorski bagremov med’ and the Hungarian PGI ‘Homokháti őszibarack pálinka’. ‘Zagorski štrukli/štruklji’ are bakery products made in the Zagorje region. ‘Zagorski bagremov med’ is an acacia honey from the Hrvatsko Zagorje region. ‘Homokháti őszibarack pálinka’ is a brandy produced from peaches grown in the Homokhátság region. These new designations will be added to the list of 1,574 agricultural products and 257 spirit drinks already protected at EU level. (LC)
