Regulation 10(9)

“3a Temporary amendments concerning products originating in third countries must be communicated to the Secretary of State before the end of the period of two weeks beginning with the day after the first day on which the amendments apply in the relevant third country.
3b The temporary amendments must be communicated to the Secretary of State by a group having a legitimate interest or by the authorities of the relevant third country.
3c The communication must be accompanied by:
(a) the reasons for the amendments, and
(b) as appropriate, evidence of the relevant sanitary and phytosanitary measures or a copy of a document issued by the authorities of the relevant third country recognising the natural disaster or adverse weather conditions.
3d The Secretary of State must make the temporary amendments public in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time.
4 Paragraphs 4a to 4l apply to an application for a temporary amendment to a product specification for a protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication or traditional speciality guaranteed (‘the temporary amendments application’) concerning the production of products originating in the United Kingdom where it is impossible or difficult to comply with a requirement in a product specification in relation to the production of a product in the United Kingdom:
(a) because of the imposition of an obligatory sanitary or phytosanitary measure in the United Kingdom by a public authority, including the Secretary of State, or
(b) for reasons linked to a natural disaster or adverse weather conditions recognised by a public authority, including the Secretary of State.
4a The temporary amendments application may be made to the Secretary of State.
4b The procedure laid down in Articles 49 to 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 does not apply to the temporary amendments application.
4c The temporary amendments application may be made by a group having a legitimate interest in the relevant protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication or traditional speciality guaranteed. If the application is not made by the group that submitted the application to register the relevant protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication or traditional speciality guaranteed (‘the original applicant group’), the Secretary of State must give the original applicant group the opportunity to make comments on the application if that group still exists.
4d The temporary amendments application must:
(a) describe the amendment applied for,
(b) be accompanied by a copy of the product specification annotated in a way to show the proposed temporary amendment,
(c) compare, for each amendment—
(i) the original product specification against the proposed amended product specification, and
(ii) where relevant, the original single document against the proposed amended single document,
(d) provide a summary of the reasons why an amendment is required, explaining how the circumstances specified in point (a) or (b) of paragraph 4 affect the production of products to which the protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication or traditional speciality guaranteed applies,
(e) be accompanied, as the case may be, by:
(i) evidence of the sanitary or phytosanitary measure or a reference to that measure that will enable the Secretary of State to identify the measure, and obtain a copy of it, easily, or
(ii) a copy of a document issued by the relevant public authority recognising the natural disaster or adverse weather conditions or a reference to that document that will enable the Secretary of State to identify the document, and obtain a copy of it, easily,
(f) provide an estimate, where this is possible, of the period during which it is anticipated that the temporary amendment will need to apply, and
(g) be self-sufficient and contain all amendments to the product specification, and, where relevant, to the single document, for which approval is sought.
4e A temporary amendments application that does not comply with paragraph 4d is not admissible. The Secretary of State must inform the applicant if the application is inadmissible as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the application.
4f The Secretary of State may approve a temporary amendments application if the Secretary of State considers that a temporary amendment to the product specification is appropriate.
4g Where a temporary amendments application is approved, the Secretary of State must specify the period for which the temporary amendment is approved.
4h That period may be specified by reference to a set period of time or may be specified by reference to the a period expiring on the happening of an event specified in the decision. The Secretary of State, in deciding the period, must take into account the conditions prevailing at the time the decision to approve the application is taken and the period for which the Secretary of State anticipates that those conditions will continue.
4i The Secretary of State may extend the temporary amendment on one or more occasions if the Secretary of State considers it is appropriate to do so having regard to the conditions prevailing at the time that decision is made.
4j After making a decision in relation to a temporary amendments application, the Secretary of State must publish in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State:
(a) a notice informing the applicant and the public of the decision made in relation to the application, and
(b) where the application is approved, details of the temporary amendments made to the product specification and the period during which those temporary amendments apply.
4k Where a temporary amendments application is approved and the period during which such temporary amendments are to apply is extended, the Secretary of State must, on each occasion the period is extended, publish in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State a notice informing the applicant and the public of the extension of the period.
4l In this paragraph ‘public authority’ has the meaning given in section 20(1) of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.”

SCHEDULE 5 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 668/2014, Article 14: new paragraphs 3, 3a, 3b and 4
Regulation 12(11)(e)

“3 Where the Secretary of State approves an amendment to a product specification and the change in the product specification affects other information recorded in the relevant register, the Secretary of State must delete the original data, record the new data in the register and attach a copy of the approved amended product specification to the register. The new data, and the provisions in the approved amended product specification, take effect immediately after the expiry of 20 days beginning with the day on which the new data is recorded in the register and the copy of the amended product specification is attached to the register or, if a copy of the amended product specification is attached to the register at a later date, immediately after the expiry of 20 days beginning with the day on which the copy of the amended product specification is attached to the register.
Where the Secretary of State approves an amendment to a product specification and the change in the product specification does not affect other information recorded in the relevant register, the Secretary of State must replace the copy of the product specification attached to the entry in the register with a copy of the approved amended product specification.

3b Where the Secretary of State approves an application to amend a product specification to which Article 6(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 664/2014 applies (an application for a temporary amendment to a product specification concerning the production of products originating in the United Kingdom), the Secretary of State must include an entry in the relevant register relating to the temporary amendment of the product specification. The temporary amendment takes effect from the time that entry is made. From that time the provisions of the product specification attached to the register apply as read with those temporary amendments until the entry relating to the temporary amendment is removed from the register.
