  "text": "Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1185/2013\nof 21 November 2013\nentering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Pâté de Campagne Breton (PGI))\nTHE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,\nHaving regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,\nHaving regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs, and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,\nWhereas:\n(1)\nRegulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs.\n(2)\nPursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, France’s application to register the name ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union .\n(3)\nThe Netherlands stated its opposition to the registration under Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. That opposition was deemed admissible under Article 7(3) of the Regulation.\n(4)\nThe statement of opposition related essentially to non-compliance with the conditions set out in Article 2(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 and specifically to the fact that the raw material, i.e. pigmeat, must come from pig breeds recognised in France and is not subject to objective quality criteria.\n(5)\nBy letter of 24 October 2012 the Commission asked the interested parties to hold appropriate consultations.\n(6)\nFrance and the Netherlands reached agreement within the stipulated six-month period. Under that agreement, minor amendments were made to the specification and the single document by deleting the paragraphs relating to the pigs’ genetics and replacing them by objective criteria introducing a causal link between the quality of the pigmeat and that of the end product.\n(7)\nThe name ‘Pâté de Campagne Breton’ should therefore be entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications; the single document should be adapted and the amended version of it published,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
