Pursuant to the first indent of Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:

On page 339, in the explanatory notes to subheadings

8525 80 91, ‘Video camera recorders’ and 8525 80 99, the following paragraph is added after the existing text:

‘These subheadings include remotely controlled apparatus for capturing and recording video and still images which are specifically designed to be used with multi-rotor helicopters (so-called drones), for example, through dedicated contact elements. These apparatus are used for capturing video and aerial still images of the environment and allow the user to visually control the flight of the drone.

Publication of a cancellation request pursuant to Article 50(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs in conjunction with Article 7(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 664/2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012

(2018/C 62/07)

This publication confers the right to oppose the cancellation request pursuant to Article 51(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) and Article 7(4) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 664/2014 (2).

CANCELLATION REQUEST

Cancellation request in accordance with Article 54(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012

‘MOSTVIERTLER BIRNMOST’

EU No: PGI-AT-02385 — 14.8.2017

PDO ( ) PGI ( X ) TSG ( )

1. Registered name proposed for cancellation

‘Mostviertler Birnmost’

2. Member State or Third Country

Austria

3. Type of product

Class 1.8. — Other products listed in Annex I (spices, etc.)

4. Person or body making the request for cancellation

Regionalverband noewest-mostviertel Mostviertelplatz 1 3362 Öhling ÖSTERREICH Tel. +43 747553340300 Fax +43 747553340350 Email: office@regionalverband.at

The requester is the legal successor to the original applicant group for the geographical indication ‘Mostviertler Birnmost’ and therefore has a legitimate interest in relation to the cancellation request.

5. Type of cancellation and related reasons

— ☐ In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 54(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 — ☐ Point (a) — ☐ Point (b) — ☒ In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 54(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012

The requester currently appears to be the sole user of the protected geographical indication. She has no further interest in using the name ‘Mostviertler Birnmost’ as a protected geographical indication and therefore does not wish to bear the inspection costs. For the purposes of selling the product locally (approximately 90 % is sold in the geographical area), having a protected name is not important because the name is already well known there. The low production volumes (approx. 300 l of Birnmost per firm; only three firms currently produce it) and the fact that the product is not very well known outside the region also support cancelling the protection for the name ‘Mostviertler Birnmost’.

No legitimate interests in opposing the cancellation of the protected geographical indication have come to light. All known producers of the protected geographical indication ‘Mostviertler Birnmost’ approve of the cancellation of the registered name and support the cancellation request.
