The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S3W-34479 by Richard Lochhead on 28 June 2010, whether it considers that the protected geographical indication regulation on Scottish farmed salmon must be read with and comply with the fundamental regulation, Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006, and, if so, whether it will clarify the steps that it is taking to remove the discrepancies between the single document and the specification.
The answer
A valid specification has been granted in relation to Scottish Farmed Salmon and it is this document that defines the terms of the PGI. This was done in compliance with Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 which lays down the rules on the protection of designations of origin and geographical indications for the agricultural products and foodstuffs, as read with the detailed rules for its implementation laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1898/2006.
