(2)

The name ‘Skilandis’ had previously been registeredf2 without reservation of name in accordance with Article 13(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006f3 as traditional speciality guaranteed. Following the national opposition procedure referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the name ‘Skilandis’ was complemented by the term ‘Lietuviškas’ that identifies its traditional and specific character, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

(3)

The submission of the name ‘Lietuviškas skilandis’ was examined by the Commission and subsequently published in the Official Journal of the European Union f4.

(4)

As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission, the name ‘Lietuviškas skilandis’ should therefore be entered in the register,
