Where the Secretary of State publishes a notice under paragraph 5 giving notice of the Secretary of State’s decision to register a geographical indication, the Secretary of State must as soon as possible after the notice period has expired:\n(a)) record the relevant data relating to the geographical indication in the register, and\n(b)) attach a copy of the product specification for the geographical indication to the register.\n5b. An entry for a geographical indication added to the register pursuant to paragraph 5a(a), and the provisions in the product specification attached to the register pursuant to paragraph 5a(b), take effect in relation to the registration of a geographical indication immediately after:\n(a)) the entry has been made in the register, and\n(b)) the product specification has been attached to the register.\n6. An implementing act to which paragraph 7 applies is revoked.\n7.
