During the national objection procedure, these operators, who have legally marketed ‘Tome des Bauges’ continuously for at least the 5 years prior to the lodging of the application, lodged an objection relating to the minimum percentage of dairy cows of the Abondance and Tarentaise breeds, indicating that they needed time to adapt the composition of their livestock. The operators in question are: GAEC du Grand Colombier, Leyat, 73340 Aillon-le-Vieux, France; EARL Champtallon, le Mas Dessous, 73340 Aillon-le-Jeune, France.\n(3)\nSince the amendments in question are not minor within the meaning of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission published the amendment application in the Official Journal of the European Union as required by Article 50(2)(a) of that Regulation.\n(4)\nAs no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the amendments to the specification should be approved,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
