approving minor amendments to the specification of a name registered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage (PDO))

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 (1), and in particular the second sentence of Article 9(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
By virtue of the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) and in accordance with 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 designation of origin ‘Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage’, registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2400/96 (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 509/2001 (3).
(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by stipulating the conditions for using treatments and additives to the milk and for the manufacture of ‘Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage’. These practices ensure that the key characteristics of the PDO product are maintained.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Community is party to the Arrangement on guidelines for officially supported export credits (hereinafter referred to as the 'Arrangement');

Whereas the Arrangement has consistently proved to be an effective instrument of international discipline, assisting in lowering subsidies and reducing counterproductive competition in the field of officially supported export credits;
