Questions referred







1.


Does Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) preclude rules of national law under which the public may be informed, and may be given the name of the food or animal feed product and of the food or animal feed business under the name or corporate name of which the food or animal feed product was produced or handled or placed on the market, if food that is not injurious to health but is unfit for consumption, particularly food that is nauseating, is or has been placed on the market in significant quantities or if, because of its particular nature, such food has been placed on the market only in small quantities but over a lengthy period of time?

The United Kingdom submitted an objection to the registration under Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. The objection was deemed admissible under Article 7 (3) of that Regulation.

(5)


Given that an agreement was reached between Italy and the United Kingdom within the designated timeframe, with minor modifications of the specification and no modification of the single document published in accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the name ‘Seggiano’ should be entered in the ‘Register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications’,

As no statement of objection within the meaning of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 has been sent to the Commission, the amendment should be approved,
