of 28 October 2009
approving minor amendments to the specification of a name registered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Pouligny-Saint-Pierre (PDO))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006f1 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs, and in particular the second sentence of Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Pursuant to 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 details of the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96f2.
(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by stipulating the conditions for using treatments and additives to the milk and for the production of ‘Pouligny-Saint-Pierre’. These practices ensure that the essential characteristics of the name are maintained.
(3)
The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may approve it without following the procedure set out in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of the aforementioned Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
