  "text": "In the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’, the following amendments are approved:\nThe wording of Article 5(6) and (7):\n‘After harvesting, the bulbs of new young onions must have their earth-stained outer skins removed; their stalks are then cut to a length of 40 cm before being assembled into small bunches ready to be loaded into crates.\nWhen the onions are to be consumed fresh (“fresh onions”), the skins are removed from the bulbs and any stalks longer than 60 cm are cut; the onions are then assembled in bunches weighing 5 to 8 kg and loaded into crates of varying sizes.’\nis replaced by the following text:\n‘After harvesting, the bulbs of new young onions must have their earth-stained outer skins (envelopes) removed; their stalks are then cut to a length of between 30 and 60 cm before being assembled into small bunches which are then loaded into crates.\nWhen the onions are to be consumed fresh (or “fresh onions”), the skins are removed from the bulbs and the stalks are cut to a length ranging between 35 and 60 cm; the onions are then brought together in bunches weighing between 1,5 and 6 kg and are loaded into crates of varying sizes.’\nThe wording of Article 9(2):\n‘Bulbs designated by the PGI “Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria” can only be released for consumption if the following procedure is complied with:\n“cipollotti” (new young onions) are assembled in small bunches and packed into small crates made of cardboard, plastic or wood, thus ready to be sold;\n“cipolle da consumo fresco” (fresh onions) are assembled in bunches weighing 5 to 8 kg, then packed into crates of various sizes.’\nis replaced by the following text:\n‘Bulbs designated by the PGI “Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria” can only be released for consumption if the following procedure is complied with:\n“cipollotti” (new young onions) are assembled in small bunches and packed into small crates made of cardboard, plastic or wood, thus ready to be sold;\n“cipolle da consumo fresco” (fresh onions) are assembled in bunches weighing 1,5 to 6 kg, then packed into crates of various sizes.’\nThe provisions concerning the preparation of the product for packaging have been amended to allow for greater flexibility when selecting the size of the packages and to take account of new market requirements in terms of packaging.\nThe wording of Article 9(4):\n‘The minimum number of onions required to form a braid is six, regardless of their size. The number of onions and their weight must be uniform for each type of packaging.’\nis replaced by the following text:\n‘The minimum number of onions required to form a braid is six, regardless of their size.’\nA greater margin of manoeuvre is thus granted for producing traditional ‘braids’ so that local workers can determine the number of bulbs and their size.\nThe wording of Article 9(7):\n‘When released for consumption, self-adhesive labels are placed on young onions and fresh onions assembled into bunches, as well as on “storage” onions in braids, clearly displaying the product’s logo and brand.’\nis replaced by the following text:\n‘When released for consumption, adhesive (or any other type of) labels are placed on young onions and on storage onions in braids, displaying the EU logo and the product’s brand. On the other hand, a detailed label must be placed on each bunch of fresh onions packed in crates, whatever the size of the latter, displaying the company’s business name, the EU logo, the brand and the type of product so as to guarantee its traceability and to make it perfectly recognisable.’\nFor ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ fresh onions, packed in bunches, a label is to be attached to each bunch, indicating the company’s business name, the illustrated EU logo and the brand and type of product. As such, each bunch has a label indicating all of the information required by the consumer so that (s)he may correctly identify the product.\nThe references to Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 featuring in the production specification have been updated.",
