“Mobile phones” may also have other features such as sending and receiving SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages; emails; packet switching for access to the Internet; sending and receiving positioning signals; navigating, routing, maps, instant messaging, VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol); PDA (Personal Digital Assistant); gaming; receiving radio or television signals; capturing, recording and reproducing sound and images.

Irrespective of such additional features, the mobile telephony function is generally the principal function of mobile phones that meet all the above listed characteristics. This is the case, for example, when the telephony function takes precedence over all other functions including when incoming calls are normally notified to the user regardless of secondary functions used.’

4.   Specification:

(summary of requirements under Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006)

4.1.   Name:

‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’

4.2.   Description:

The ‘Sedano bianco di Sperlonga’ PGI is reserved exclusively for the Sperlonga celery ecotype of the variety Apium graveolens L. var dulce Mill, ‘Bianco di Sperlonga’ ecotype, with white or whitish sides. The characteristic light colour is an intrinsic element of the ecotype, which may be intensified by a denser planting pattern. When released for consumption, ‘Sedano bianco di Sperlonga’ PGI must conform to the following specific characteristics of the local ‘Bianco di Sperlonga’ ecotype: plant of average height, compact in form, with 10-15 light green leaves; the stalks are white with a light-green tinge, not very fibrous, characterised by barely-visible ridges. Weight varies according to size: medium size, from 500 to 800 g; large size, more than 800 g. Its flavour is mild and only moderately aromatic, which makes it particularly well-suited to being eaten raw. Furthermore, ‘Sedano bianco di Sperlonga’ has a total organic acid content of not less than 135 mg/100 g, breaking strength not less than 20 N and a total sugar content of not less than 13 mg/g.

4.3.   Geographical area:

‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) must be grown within the territory of the municipalities of Fondi and of Sperlonga.

4.4.   Proof of origin:

Each stage in the production process is monitored, with all inputs and outputs recorded. This, along with the compilation of specific registers — managed by the inspection body — of the land registry parcels in which cultivation, producers and packagers are located, and timely declaration to the inspection body of the quantities produced ensures product traceability throughout the production chain. All natural and legal persons recorded in the appropriate lists are subject to checks by the inspection body, in accordance with the corresponding monitoring plan.

4.5.   Method of production:

Planting must take place from July. Seeds, either in their natural state or coated, can be sown (scattered) in boxes or tray fillers. Light is essential for the seed to grow. Seed production, using phenotype selection (that is to say by obtaining seeds from the best plants) is carried out at farms and/or nurseries in the production area. The seed from such farms and/or nurseries may be made available to other producers or nurseries in the production area, which then see to the production of seedlings. The seedlings produced by nurseries must be returned or made available to farms in the production area.

Seed produced by individual local farms located within the area referred to in point 4.3 must be as entered in the voluntary regional register for the protection of biodiversity in agriculture. The register is kept by ARSIAL (Agenzia regionale per lo sviluppo e l’innovazione in agricoltura del Lazio — Regional Agency for Agricultural Development and Innovation in Lazio). Seedlings must be planted out when they reach a height of approximately 10-15 cm. The planting pattern is 25-35 cm between rows and at intervals of 25-35 cm within the row, with an optimal distribution of 10-12 plants/m2. Maximum permissible density is of 14 plants/m2. The ‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ is watered by irrigation. Both sprinkler and micro-irrigation systems are acceptable. The approach to fertilising celery must be informed by the rotation of crops for the whole year. In particular, the total amount of nitrogen added in any one year must not exceed 155 kg/ha. Pest control must be carried out using an integrated system in order to keep to the minimum or eliminate any pest control residues on the celery.

‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ is harvested by hand, by cutting the plant below the root collar. The plants must be laid in the container, avoiding any friction between them which could result in broken tissue and leakage of cell fluids. Furthermore, the time during which the product is left in the sun after harvest should be as short as possible.

‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ should be grown and prepared in the area mentioned in point 4.3 in order not to impair the quality of the product and in order to ensure its traceability and monitoring.

4.6.   Link:

‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ was introduced into the Fondi and Sperlonga area around the 1960s. Cultivation of the crop in the area mentioned in point 4.3 is attested to by a mass of tax documents dating from the early 1960s to the present day, when ‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’, after an initial introduction phase, rapidly gained commercial value and popularity among consumers on the markets in Rome.

The area of production of ‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’ is characterised by a climate and soil which very much favours the growing of celery. The soil is part calcareous Mesozoic and part silty-calcareous alluvial soil. Typical of the production area is the presence of land where the water table is almost at the surface lying between the drained area and the sea. It is on this land, referred to as ‘mudflats’, or marshes, that the growing of celery developed, at first in the open and subsequently under shelter. Indeed, the soils are characterised by a circulating solution with a high degree of salinity which, together with all the other particular climatic conditions, confer on the ‘Sedano bianco di Sperlonga’ its distinctive organoleptic qualities, namely its flavour, the sweet and moderately aromatic taste, the organic acid content, the reduced breaking strength of the stalks and their characteristic light colour, which is an intrinsic feature of the ecotype.

The climate of the area covered by the PGI is temperate maritime characterised by: an average temperature of between 17 and 18 °C; average monthly temperature < 10 °C for 1-3 months, the average of the minimum for the coldest month being 6,9 °C; annual average rainfall of 727 and 1 133 mm, the summer rainfall being 61 to 83 mm. On the coast especially the climate is intensely dry from May to August.

The soils and the climatic characteristics thus constitute the habitat of choice for the growing of ‘Sedano Bianco di Sperlonga’.

In addition to the soil and climatic characteristics, there is the historic specialisation of the local farmers who not only have adopted techniques with a low impact on the environment but have also been able to exploit the typical marshy terrain, thus making it possible, thanks to being able to produce the seeds themselves by means of phenotype selection, to preserve the ‘Bianco di Sperlonga’ ecotype and ensure the safeguarding of the production techniques and the suitability of the cultivar.

(Summary of requirements under Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006)

4.1.   Name:

‘Farine de Petit Épeautre de Haute Provence’

4.2.   Description:

Small spelt (‘Petit Épeautre’) ‘Triticum monococcum’ is a straw cereal belonging to the Gramineae family. It is characterised by its flat bearded ears which grow in two ranks. The unbroken grain in its husk must be husked (or possibly bleached) before being consumed. Bleached grain is grain which has been husked after an additional dehulling stage. A number of quality requirements have been laid down. The maximum total percentage of matter which is not basic cereal of unimpaired quality is 5 %, of which:

| | 2 % may be broken grains |
| --- | --- |

2 % may be broken grains

| | 1,5 % grain impurities (shrivelled, other cereals, attacked, pest damage, discoloration, overheated, dry) |
| --- | --- |

1,5 % grain impurities (shrivelled, other cereals, attacked, pest damage, discoloration, overheated, dry)

| | 1 % sprouted grain |

| | 0,5 % miscellaneous impurities (extraneous seeds, damaged grain, husks, ergot, decayed grain, dead insects and fragments of insects) |
| --- | --- |

0,5 % miscellaneous impurities (extraneous seeds, damaged grain, husks, ergot, decayed grain, dead insects and fragments of insects)

The minimum specific weight is 77 kg/hl. The humidity of the bulk grain must not exceed 14 %.

Protein content of husked grain must be more than 10,5 %.

The small spelt is processed into ivory coloured, cream flour. ‘Petit Épeautre’ de Haute Provence flour does not rise as much as wheat flour because of its low gluten content.

The PGI relates to whole wheat flour, which is characterised by a mineral rate of more than 1,8 % and sifted flour, with a mineral rate of less than 1,8 %. For these two types of flour, humidity should be less than 14 % and protein rate more than 10,5 %.

Milling flour, which is obtained by milling (see section 4.5), can be packaged in bags of 500 g, 1, 10, 25 or 50 kg, but may also be delivered in bulk to any operator. The miller is not the only person able to package.

Traditional flour, obtained by traditional stone-milling (see section 4.5), may be packaged in bags of 500 g, 1, 10 and 25 kg.

The optimum date by which the flour may be used is nine months from the date of milling.

4.3.   Geographical area:

The PGI area (production of grains and seeds, husking and stone-milling) includes 235 municipalities at an altitude of over 400 metres, spread across four départements (Alpes de Haute-Provence, Hautes-Alpes, Drôme and Vaucluse) in south-east France. This area is delimited as follows:

4.4.   Proof of origin:

For each farm, plots are identified on the basis of a plot map produced using the farm register. The origin of seeds is ascertained by checking sales invoices. The quantities harvested in each plot are recorded on the crop sheets in the farm register.

Each production and/or storage batch is identified on the storage units by batch identification sheets. The sheets also show the quantities harvested and husked, together with the husker's identity code and date of husking. Each stage — husking, milling and packaging — is subject to a stock-taking check and is recorded for each batch. Taken as a whole, these aspects of traceability mean that the process from sowing of the plot to sale to the consumer can be traced.

4.5.   Method of production:

The small spelt covered by the PGI is grown in the geographical production area of Haute Provence at an altitude of more than 400 metres. It is grown according to traditional production methods: crops are rotated, the seed used comes from the geographical area, sowing takes place in summer and autumn, and the use of synthetic chemical products is prohibited. Fertilisation is limited to a maximum of 60 units of nitrogen (one unit of nitrogen being the equivalent of 1 kg of N), 60 units of potassium (one unit of potassium being the equivalent of 1 kg of potassium oxide or K2O) and 60 units of phosphorus (one unit of phosphorus being the equivalent of 1 kg of phosphorous pentoxide or P2O5) per hectare. Haute Provence small spelt makes best use of the rains in May, which allow the grain to swell. July, which is hot and dry, encourages healthy maturing without any diseases developing. The maximum grain yield, husk on, is 40 quintals per hectare.

After harvesting, small spelt, still in its husk, is stored in the geographical area to await husking. Husking is an essential stage prior to any use in cooking or milling; it is carried out by huskers within the geographical area and consists of removing the husk from the grain. Husking calls for genuine expertise, requiring great dedication and special tools. The grain must be neither spoilt nor badly husked, which requires very fine dexterity on the part of the husker. The various screening and husking stages result in grain of between 5 and 10 mm in length and 1,5 mm thick. Husking may take place up to 2 years after harvesting.

The milling is carried out without the addition of additives and without the grain being wet (this encourages the conservation of the grain by limiting oxidation), using husked grains and/or grains cut at the time of husking. The expertise resides in the ability to regulate the level of extraction enabling the flour required to be obtained. Processing into flour takes place within six months after husking. Batches have to be milled within three months of delivery to the mill. Two types of milling are possible: stone-milling or traditional milling.

Traditional stone-milling is carried out within the geographical area. It is only carried out by producers milling, on their own farm, grains that they have produced themselves.

Crushing and sifting are performed at a stone-mill. This milling allows the grain to be crushing without it being heated. The milling is carried out in a single process between two grooved stones (one static and another which turns). The grain poured into the central hole falls through a groove, is ground and then removed by centrifugal force to the outside of the millstones. The bags are packed, weighed and closed by hand.

Milling can take place outside of the geographical area. The processing takes place using several grinding and conversion procedures. Sifting (using a flour sifting device) takes place between each grinding and conversion operation. A plansifter ventilation system allows the finished product to be guided towards a flour chamber (storage of the end product) and intermediate products to be sent for grinding and conversion.

The flour obtained by the two types of milling is wholemeal, but can also be sifted using a sifting system.

4.6.   Link:

The geographical area covered by the name ‘Haute Provence’ is a homogenous zone with a Mediterranean climate, mainly characterised by its altitude, which tempers its climate. The dry summers give way to intensely cold winters.

Haute Provence small spelt is suited to these harsh climatic conditions typical of the area because the fact that it is an early sowing variety means it can bear the hard winter conditions. The late rains in May benefit the quality of the grain, whereas they often arrive too late for the wheat and barley sown a month earlier.

The region has karstic calcareous subsoils riddled with faults, dating from the Tertiary period. ‘Petit Epeautre de Haute Provence’ enables best use to be made of the poorest soils (known locally as ‘spelt fields’), on which lavender is also grown. The fact that processing plants have been set up is a very clear sign of the link between small spelt and the geographical area. Husking takes place in artisanal workshops distributed throughout the area. A large number of mills, no longer in use, were built along rivers and streams and also produced flour; their millstones were put to a number of different purposes. In the wake of technical progress and using the know-how they have inherited, today’s huskers use special tools which vary according to the batch to be worked on and make it possible to obtain a greater yield by reducing the number of grains broken during the husking and screening stages. The condition of the husked grain is one of the best means of assessing the quality. The skill lies in dedicating just the right amount of time to husking. Previously, despite efforts made, small spelt flour (rich in lipids) was less expensive than wheat flour and many mills capable of processing small spelt could be found in large numbers in Haute Provence.

These mills were essential because they produced flour and were able to husk the grain. Small spelt flour, which is produced as and when required so as to avoid it going rancid, used to be used in Haute Provence as the wheat flour in the plains. Although its production is marginal compared to that of wheat flour, it has always been produced.

Historically, there is evidence that ‘Petit Epeautre de Haute Provence’ was already present in certain prehistoric sites in Provence. The Roman occupation of ‘Provincia’ (Provence) relegated cultivation of this crop to the unromanised saltus or garrigue of the interior. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Nordic peoples invaded Provence and caused an exodus of its population into the interior. The robust quality and storability of small spelt enabled the displaced population to survive. Small spelt was still present throughout the Middle Ages in Provence. The subsequent presence of this crop in various parts of Haute Provence is attested to in administrative acts (1338), surveys (1775) and agricultural statistics (1804-1874).

However, there is a genuine culinary tradition surrounding Petit Épeautre flour in Haute Provence and it is very well-known. Distributors and processors very often associate small spelt with Haute Provence because it is a typical product of this region. Haute Provence is recognised as being the ancestral production area for small spelt.

Small spelt flour from Haute Provence is well known because it is used to produce golden sandwich bread, with a delicate nutty flavour.
