COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2182/98 of 9 October 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1848/93 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Whereas Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1848/93 of 9 July 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2515/94 (3), allows for action to be taken to inform the public of the meaning of the 'traditional speciality guaranteed` indication and the logo in the Community languages; whereas the action taken, notably a Community campaign directed at producers, distributors and consumers, has been demonstrably useful and effective;
Whereas given the useful positive impact of the action taken to make Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 and the logo and indication it provides for known, a four-year extension to the time limit set in Regulation (EEC) No 2037/93 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1726/98 (5), should be made so that it can be continued and its impact increased;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Certificates of Specific Character,
