art_43__para_1
1. An application submitted after a wholly or partly homonymous name has been applied for or protected as a geographical indication in the Union shall be rejected, unless there is a sufficient distinction in practice between the two homonymous names as regards their conditions of local and traditional usage and their presentation, taking into account the need to ensure that the producers concerned receive equitable treatment and the need to ensure that consumers are not misled as to the true identity or geographical origin of the products.
