Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 November 2012 on quality schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 53(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined France's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Muscat du Ventoux’, registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 378/1999 (2).
(2) The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by giving more detailed information on the product description, geographical area, proof of origin, method of production, labelling, national requirements and the contact details of the structures responsible for monitoring the designation and the applicant group, and by removing the requirement for packaging in the area.
(3) The Commission has examined the amendments in question and concluded that they are justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve it without following the procedure set out in Articles 50 and 52 of the Regulation,
