(28) In view of their specific nature, special provisions as to labelling should be adopted for protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications, requiring producers to use the appropriate Union symbols orand, where appropriate, indications on packaging. The use of such symbols or indications should be made obligatory in the case of Union names, on the one hand, to make this category of products and the guarantees attached to them better known to consumers and, on the other, to permit easier identification of these products on the market so as to facilitate checks. Taking into account the requirements of the World Trade Organization, the use of such symbols or indications should be made voluntaryauthorised only in the case of products that have complied with the procedures set out in Chapter IV of Title V of this Regulation, for geographical indications and designations of origin originating in a third country.
