am I reading that correctly in that it's the precise name:
Emmental de Savoie
and
Emmental français est-central
and
Allgäuer Emmentaler
which is protected?
i.e. a cheese may be labeled Emmental - but not Emmental de Savoie - unless it is really from there...
scanning those lists looks more like a trademark issue that for example the "champagne" nomenclature issue.

They are all protected. That list is outdated by the way. Switzerland was a late addition to the list and should have about 6 or 7 cheeses, including Emmental, Vacherin Mont-d'Or, Etivaz and Sbrinz.
