This is more in line with market realities and consumer preferences and makes it possible to unlock existing market potential.\n(3)\nThe Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since these are minor amendments, the Commission may approve them without using the procedure set out in Articles 6 and 7 of that Regulation,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
