(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 535/97 (2), and in particular Article 17 (2) thereof,

Whereas for certain names notified by the Member States pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 additional information was requested in order to make sure that they complied with Articles 2 and 4 of that Regulation; whereas this additional information shows that the names comply with the said Articles; whereas they should therefore be registered and added to the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1107/96 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 123/97 (4);

Whereas, following the accession of three new Member States, the six-month period provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92 is to begin on the date of their accession; whereas some of the names notified by those Member States comply with Articles 2 and 4 of that Regulation and should therefore be registered;

Whereas the name 'Speck dell'Alto Adige` concerns a border geographical area which is bilingual; whereas, since Article 5 (5) therefore applies, the Member States in question have consulted one another and arrived at an agreement; whereas, as the name has been registered already in Italian, it should be registered also in German;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Regulatory Committee on Geographical Indications and Designations of Origin,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The names in the Annex to this Regulation are hereby added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1107/96.

Article 2

The name 'Speck dell'Alto Adige` is hereby registered in German as 'Südtiroler Markenspeck` or 'Südtiroler Speck`.
