As the Commission did not receive any objections in accordance with Article 17(7) of Regulation (EC) No 110/2008, that name should be included in Annex III to that Regulation.\n(3)\nAccording to the Agreement establishing an association between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Chile, of the other part, approved by Council Decision 2002/979/EC, ‘Pisco’ is a protected designation for spirit drinks originating in Chile. Therefore, it should be clarified that the protection of the geographical indication ‘Pisco’ for products originating in Peru does not hinder the use of such denomination for products originating in Chile.\n(4)\nRegulation (EC) No 110/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Spirit Drinks,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
