DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson opposes a new EU regulation on geographical indication protection for NI supply chains, requiring Stormont consent.
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson claims a new EU regulation extending a scheme to provide geographical indication protection for craft and industrial products would create significant problems for Northern Ireland's supply chains. Donaldson stated that the DUP will oppose the regulation, which requires cross-community consent from Stormont MLAs. The regulation, if not passed, will fall to the UK government to decide whether it should be introduced.
