The first subparagraph of Article 54(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 provides that, apart from in the case of requests from the producers of the product sold under the registered name, the Commission may cancel the registration of a protected geographical indication where compliance with the conditions of the specification is not ensured or where no product has been placed on the market under the protected geographical indication for at least seven years.

The Commission has examined the request to cancel the registration of the protected geographical indication ‘Jihočeská Zlatá Niva’ submitted by Slovakia on 20 September 2013 and received on 27 September 2013.

(4)


In view of the foregoing, the request to cancel the protected geographical indication ‘Jihočeská Zlatá Niva’ submitted by Slovakia must be rejected.

These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.


Issuing country
: Slovenia


Subject of commemoration
: Emona-Ljubljana


Description of the design
: The central image of the coin is the composition of letters that form the word ‘EMONA’ or ‘AEMONA’ and a stylised design of Emona. At the bottom, in circular sense, the inscription ‘EMONA LJUBLJANA SLOVENIJA 2015’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
