On 27 July 2026, the Council of the EU adopted a corrigendum to the proposal for signing the EU-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, adding three new annexes on geographical indications (GIs) and government procurement market access schedules. The annexes finalise the GI protection lists and procedural rules for the trade deal, requiring both parties to enforce specific laws and opposition timelines for 218 EU product names in Indonesia.
The corrigendum introduces Annexes 11-A and 11-B, which set out government procurement market access schedules for the EU and Indonesia respectively, covering central, sub-central, and other entities, goods, services, and construction services. Annex 12-A lists the laws each party must maintain for GI protection: Indonesia (Law No 20/2016, Minister Regulations No 12/2019 and No 10/2022) and the EU (Regulations 2024/1143, No 1308/2013, No 2019/787, and 2023/2411). It also specifies ten required elements for GI registration and control, including registers, verification processes, product specifications, controls, enforcement, and opposition procedures.
the EU must receive objections within three months of publication (to the European Commission for agricultural GIs, plus the EUIPO for craft/industrial products); Indonesia must receive them within two months (to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property). Objections are admissible only if they show conflicts with plant varieties, homonymous names, trademarks, or prior market use, or if the name is generic.
Annex 12-C lists 218 EU GIs to be protected in Indonesia, covering wines, spirits, cheeses, meats, oils, and other products from Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain. Some GIs (Champagne, Cognac, Gorgonzola, Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano) are already protected in Indonesia.
The corrigendum finalises the GI protection lists and procedural rules for the EU-Indonesia trade deal, requiring both parties to enforce specific laws and opposition timelines for 218 EU product names in Indonesia. The agreement is expected to boost EU exports of high-value food and drink products while providing legal certainty for Indonesian producers accessing EU procurement markets. The next step is signature by the Council, followed by ratification by the European Parliament and Indonesian authorities.
