Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2006 of 20 March 2006 on agricultural products and foodstuffs as traditional specialities guaranteed(1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 9(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Pursuant to the first subparagraph of Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the Czech Republic and Slovakia’s joint application to register the name ‘Liptovská saláma’/‘Liptovský salám’ was published in the

Official Journal of the European Union
