COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 977/2009

approving minor amendments to the specification of a name registered in the register of traditional specialities guaranteed (Boerenkaas (TSG))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Whereas:
(1)
By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the Commission has examined the Netherlands’ application for approval of an amendment to the specification of the traditional speciality guaranteed ‘Boerenkaas’, registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 149/2007 (2).
(2)

These changes are proposed to prevent the small undertakings being faced with high control costs.

Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the fourth subparagraph of Article 11(1) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the Commission may approve it without recourse to the procedure in Article 8(2) and Article 9,

Article 2
An updated specification is given in Annex II to this Regulation.
