Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 957/2013

of 4 October 2013

entering a name in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Bamberger Hörnla/Bamberger Hörnle/Bamberger Hörnchen (PGI)]

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 foodstuffs1, and in particular Article 52(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)
Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 of 20 March 2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs2.
(2)
Pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, Germany's application to register the name 'Bamberger Hörnla'/'Bamberger Hörnle'/'Bamberger Hörnchen' was published in the Official Journal of the European Union 3.
(3)

The Association 'Arche Noah', based in Schiltern in Austria, objected to the registration of that name. In accordance with Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 the Commission nevertheless considered that objection inadmissible, since it was sent directly to the Commission, which was in breach of the second subparagraph of Article 7(2) of that Regulation, which requires objections to be sent via the relevant national authorities.

(4)

The name 'Bamberger Hörnla'/'Bamberger Hörnle'/'Bamberger Hörnchen' should therefore be entered in the register,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
