  "text": "1. The Secretary of State must enter the names of established protected traditional specialities guaranteed in the register referred to in Article 22 of this Regulation. The entries are to be treated as taking effect on IP completion day. The corresponding specifications shall be deemed to be the specifications referred to in Article 19 of this Regulation. Any specific transitional provisions associated with such registrations under EU Regulation 1151/2012 as it had effect in Great Britain immediately before IP completion day shall continue to apply.\n2. An unreserved TSG name may continue to be used under the conditions provided for in Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 until 4 January 2023 ....\nWhen the Secretary of State records an entry relating to the name on Great Britain's TSGs Register under paragraph 1, the Secretary of State must include a statement that the name may continue to be used as a traditional speciality guaranteed until 4 January 2023.\nThe Secretary of State must remove the entry relating to the name from Great Britain's TSGs Register on, or as soon as possible after, 4 January 2023, unless the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 applies to the entry relating to that name in the meantime.\n(2a.) An application to register an unreserved TSG name may be made to the Secretary of State under Article 49 of this Regulation.\nIf successful, the entry for the name in Great Britain's TSGs Register must be adjusted, as appropriate, and, following that adjustment, the entry in Great Britain's TSGs Register for that name applies without any time restriction.\n3. In order to protect the rights and legitimate interests of producers or stakeholders concerned, the Secretary of State may make regulations laying down additional transitional rules relating to the entries to be made in the register referred to in Article 22 under paragraph 1.\n(4.) Article 23(3) (which requires that the symbol associated with the marketing in Great Britain of a product originating in Great Britain must appear on the labelling of certain products) is disapplied in respect of a product to which it would otherwise apply, for a period of three years, beginning with the day after the day on which IP completion day falls, if the product concerned is marketed under an established protected traditional speciality guaranteed.\n(5.) In this Article—\n(a) in relation to an established protected traditional speciality guaranteed, ‘corresponding specifications’ means the product specification for the relevant traditional speciality guaranteed as the specification stood immediately before IP completion day;\n(b) ‘the European Commission's TSGs Register’ means the register maintained by the European Commission pursuant to Article 22 of EU Regulation 1151/2012;\n(c) ‘an unreserved TSG name’ means the name of a traditional speciality guaranteed that was registered on the European Commission's TSGs Register in accordance with the requirements laid down in Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, including a name registered pursuant to an application referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 58(1) of EU Regulation 1151/2012, before IP completion day, but does not include a name for which:\n(i) a successful application was made to the European Commission under Article 26 of EU Regulation 1151/2012 before IP completion day, and\n(ii) any necessary adjustment has been made to the entry for that name on the European Commission's TSGs Register pursuant to Article 26(4) of EU Regulation 1151/2012 before IP completion day.",
