THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 of 20 March 2006 on agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed(1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the Czech Republic and Slovakia’s joint application to register the name ‘Liptovská saláma’/‘Liptovský salám’ was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2).
(2) As no objection under Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 has been received by the Commission, that name should therefore be entered in the register.
(3) The application also requested protection under Article 13(2) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006. That protection should be granted to the name ‘Liptovská saláma’/‘Liptovský salám’ in so far as, in the absence of objections, it could not be demonstrated that the name is used in a lawful, renowned and economically significant manner for similar agricultural products or foodstuffs,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
