More European GI specifications amended

Another batch of non-minor amendments to existing protected geographical indications has been approved and passed into law.  As is always the case, the Official Journal of the European Union unhelpfully fails to provide a hyperlink either to the original Regulation protecting the appellation in question or to the specification for the scope of protection as amended.  It is difficult to understand why, in the twenty-first century, the EU persists in failing to make this information more accessible to computer users.

* Commission Implementing Regulation 433/2013 of 7 May 2013 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Κοπανιστή (Kopanisti) (PDO)).  For those who like something a little different, Kopanisti is a truly salty, spicy cheese which originated from the Greek island of Mykonos. It is said to go particularly well a a meze to accompany a glass or two of ouzo.

* Commission Implementing Regulation 434/2013 of 7 May 2013 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Mâche nantaise (PGI)). Mâche nantaise, depicted here, is a French salad ingredient which is rich in Omega 3.

* Commission Implementing Regulation 435/2013 of 7 May 2013 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Βόρειος Μυλοπόταμος Ρεθύμνης Κρήτης (Vorios Mylopotamos Rethymnis Kritis) (PDO)). It might seem a bit of a mouthful to say, but Vorios Mylopotamos Rethymnis Kritis is a Greek mechanically-extracted olive oil. The non-minor amendment to the PDO protection stems from the fact that, in many areas, Hondrolia olive trees are being replaced by Koroneiki trees from which this oil is extracted.

* Commission Implementing Regulation 436/2013 of 7 May 2013 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Queijo de Cabra Transmontano/Queijo de Cabra Transmontano Velho (PDO)). Queijo de Cabra Transmontano, a Portuguese cheese, is made from the milk of the Serrana goat. It is white and very hard, with a "strong but pleasant" aroma and a slightly spicy aftertaste.
