Looks like Cyprus now has control of the UK trademark for Halloumi.

Just have the get the PDO in place with a proper recipe reflecting the special character of the traditional product.

Indeed.
Halloumi is CY as fu**

It's like Cyprus laying claim to Cornish Pie... which is British as fu**

And here is not so good news from the ECJ
http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf;jsessionid=4C13024088EC6E41266728AD27C516BC?text=&docid=219261&pageIndex=0&doclang=EN&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=7693868

basically they held that it was not distinctive enough as product to prevent a Bulgarian company naming a cheese product BBQloumi.

Lots of work to do.
