of 7 May 2013
approving a minor amendment to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications [Pesca di Leonforte (PGI)]
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
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 sentence of Article 53(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 53(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1151/2012, the Commission has examined Italy's application for the approval of amendments to the specification for the protected designation of origin ‧Pesca di Leonforte‧ registered under Commission Regulation (EC) No 622/2010 (2).
(2)
The purpose of the application is to amend the specification by removing the maximum limit for the soluble solids content in the product description and, in the method of production, by amending the list of permitted rootstocks and the planting distance for the vase-shape pruning method.
(3)
The Commission has examined the amendments in question and decided that they are justified. Since the amendment is minor within the meaning of the third subparagraph of Article 53(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1151/2012, the Commission may approve it without following the procedure set out in Articles 50, 52 and 7 of the Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The specification for the protected geographical indication ‧Pesca di Leonforte‧ is hereby amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation.

Annex II to this Regulation contains the Single Document setting out the main points of the specification.
Article 3
