Those wine names, (‘existing protected wine names’), are listed in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications for wine established in accordance with Article 118n of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, (‘the Register’).\n(2)\nIn respect of those existing protected wine names, the Member States had to transmit to the Commission by 31 December 2011 the technical files and the national decisions of approval. In accordance with Article 118s(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 existing protected wine names, for which no transmission occurred by that date, are no longer to be protected under that Regulation. Those names should therefore be removed from the Register.\n(3)\nThe removal from the Register should not affect wines which, before the date of entry into force of this Regulation, have been placed on the market or labelled with wine names to be removed from the Register. Marketing of those wines should therefore be allowed until exhaustion of stocks.\n(4)\nThe measure provided for in this Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
