What system is replacing the AOC?

• A. Appellation d'Origine Protegee
• B. Protected Geographical Indication
• C. Geographic Appellation System
• D. Appellation d'Origine Protegee, designed to align countries in the EU

Answer: (D)

The system replacing the AOC is Appellation d'Origine Protégée. This is the EU-wide label used to harmonize protected regional names across member states, effectively the EU equivalent of the old French AOC. In practice, it aligns with the idea of a protected origin and quality standard, similar to the English term PDO (Protected Designation of Origin). The other options either repeat the old AOC, or refer to a different EU category (Protected Geographical Indication) or an non-existent term.
