COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 83/1999 of 13 January 1999 amending the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 on the registration of geographical indications and designations of origin under the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1068/97 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the French Government has requested that the name 'Ossau-Iraty Brebis-Pyrénées`, registered as a protected designation of origin by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1549/98 (4), should be changed to 'Ossau-Iraty`;

Whereas examination of the request for amendment has revealed that it is a minor amendment; whereas this is because, although an amendment to a registered name, which in principle should be considered a major amendment, it does not affect the rights of the holders of the name in question; whereas, furthermore, the amendment does not affect the rights of other producers;

Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the Commission decided in its Decision of 20 March 1998 not to apply the procedure provided for in Article 6 as it was a case of a minor amendment;

Whereas it has also been concluded that this is an amendment in compliance with Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92; whereas, therefore, the change of the name 'Ossau-Iraty Brebis-Pyrénées` to 'Ossau-Iraty` should be registered and the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 should be amended accordingly;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, the amendment of the name 'Ossau-Iraty Brebis-Pyrénées` to 'Ossau-Iraty` should be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1107/96, the protected designation of origin 'Ossau-Iraty Brebis-Pyrénées` is hereby replaced by 'Ossau-Iraty`.

Article 2
