THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs, and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1), and pursuant to Article 17(2), of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined France’s application for approval of an amendment to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Veau d’Aveyron et du Ségala’, registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96.
(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by increasing the maximum weight of male calf carcasses from 250 to 270 kg, and that of female calf carcasses from 220 to 250 kg. This amendment corrects the error in the assessment of the maximum weight of carcasses which was made at the time the initial application was drawn up and was the result of an incorrect assessment at the time of the yield at slaughter.
(3)
The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since this concerns a minor amendment within the meaning of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may adopt it without following the procedure set out in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of that Regulation.
(4)
In accordance with Article 18(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006 and pursuant to Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, a summary of the specification should be published.
(5)
The Commission also notes that the name is ‘Veau d’Aveyron et du Ségala’ and not ‘Veau de l’Aveyron et du Ségala’, as originally entered into the register. The name entered into the register should therefore be amended,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
