In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1), and by virtue of Article 17(2), of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined France’s application for approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Volailles de Loué’, registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/1996^f2.
