Abstract:The Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed the exclusive character of the European Union’s competence with regard to geographical indications relating to agricultural products and foodstuffs. The compliance of national legislation to the EU rules and principles must be determined by the national Court, so ‘Salame di Felino’ goes back to the Corte di Cassazione.
