THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having 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^f1, and in particular Article 26 and Article 52(2) thereof,

Whereas:

In accordance with Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, Poland submitted the names ‘Półtorak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Dwójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Trójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Czwórniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Kiełbasa jałowcowa staropolska’, ‘Kiełbasa myśliwska staropolska’, ‘Olej rydzowy tradycyjny’ and ‘Kabanosy staropolskie’ in view of enabling them to be registered in the register of Traditional Specialities Guaranteed provided for in Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 with reservation of name.

The names ‘Półtorak’, ‘Dwójniak’, ‘Trójniak’, ‘Czwórniak’, ‘Kiełbasa jałowcowa’, ‘Kiełbasa myśliwska’, ‘Olej rydzowy’ and ‘Kabanosy’ had previously been registered^f2 as traditional speciality guaranteed without reservation of name in accordance with Article 13(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006^f3.

Following the national opposition procedure referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the names ‘Półtorak’, ‘Dwójniak’, ‘Trójniak’ and ‘Czwórniak’ were complemented by the term ‘staropolski tradycyjny’, the names ‘Kiełbasa jałowcowa’ and ‘Kiełbasa myśliwska’ were complemented by the term ‘staropolska’, the name ‘Olej rydzowy’ was complemented by the term ‘tradycyjny’, the name ‘Kabanosy’ was complemented by the term ‘staropolskie’. These complementing terms identify the traditional character of the name, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012.

The submission of the names ‘Półtorak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Dwójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Trójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Czwórniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Kiełbasa jałowcowa staropolska’, ‘Kiełbasa myśliwska staropolska’, ‘Olej rydzowy tradycyjny’ and ‘Kabanosy staropolskie’ was examined by the Commission and subsequently published in the Official Journal of the European Union ^f4.

The Commission received a statement of opposition concerning the registration of ‘Kabanosy staropolskie’. The registration of this name is therefore subject to the outcome of the opposition procedure which is carried out separately.

As no statement of opposition under Article 51 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 has been received by the Commission as regards the names other than ‘Kabanosy staropolskie’, the names ‘Półtorak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Dwójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Trójniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Czwórniak staropolski tradycyjny’, ‘Kiełbasa jałowcowa staropolska’, ‘Kiełbasa myśliwska staropolska’ and ‘Olej rydzowy tradycyjny’ should therefore be entered in the register with reservation of name,
