On 1 December 2025, the EU activated full legal protection for craft and industrial geographical indications — CIGIs — covering glass, textiles, lace, jewellery, cutlery, and leather as origin-protected products. Non-EU producers can apply. Australian craft and industrial producers who register now in the Geographical Indications Directory for Crafts, Industrial Products, and Cultural Works are building the verified provenance record that CIGI registration requires.
