These practices ensure that the key characteristics of the PDO product are maintained.\n(3)\nThe 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 that Regulation,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
