COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1040/2007
of 10 September 2007
approving minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Melon du Quercy (PGI))
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 9(1) and Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission has examined the application from France for approval to amend the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Melon du Quercy’ registered by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1165/2004 (2).
(2) The purpose of this application is to amend the specification concerning the names of the communes included in the geographical area for ‘Melon du Quercy’, since five communes were mistakenly omitted from the list when the names of the cantons and communes were transcribed from the map.
(3) The Commission has examined the amendment in question and decided that it is justified. Since this concerns a minor amendment, in accordance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, the Commission may adopt it without using the procedure set out in Articles 5, 6 and 7 of that Regulation,
