Recital 64

(64) In order to strengthen the protection of geographical indications for craft and industrial products and to combat counterfeiting more effectively, the protection under this Regulation should apply to both the offline and online environment, including domain names on the internet. Intermediary services, in particular online platforms, are increasingly being used for the sale of products, including products designated by a geographical indication. In this regard, information related to the advertising, promotion and sale of goods that contravenes the protection of geographical indications provided for in this Regulation should be considered illegal content within the meaning of Article 3, point (h), of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council (19) and should be subject to the obligations and measures under that Regulation.
