The Official Journal of the European Commission records in Commission Regulation 2206/2003 that the names of three German sausages have been elevated to the status of protected geographical indications. The lucky three are THÜRINGER LEBERWURST (Thuringian Liver Sausage), THÜRINGER ROTWURST (Thuringian Red Sausage) and THÜRINGER ROSTBRATWURST (Thuringian Rib Steak Sausage). Trifle with these sausages at your peril, for their appellations are now protected by Council Regulation 2081/92. And don’t dare feed them to your dogs, since the Annex to the Regulation 2206/2003 stipulates that the all three delicacies are intended for human consumption.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
