In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.(2)In accordance with Article 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffsOJ L 208, 24.7.1992, p. 9., the Member States have forwarded to the Commission applications for the registration of certain names as certificates of special character.(3)The names concerned could be entered in the "Register of certificates of specific character" and therefore protected throughout the Community as traditional specialities guaranteed. Following the entry into force of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, the said register was replaced by the "Register of traditional specialities guaranteed" laid down in Article 3 of the said Regulation.(4)The names so registered are entitled to use the endorsement "traditional speciality guaranteed" which is reserved for them.(5)The term "Serrano" is considered specific in itself in accordance with Article 4(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 509/2006, i.e. it is untranslatable. It must therefore be used as it stands. Furthermore, the term "Serrano" is registered without prejudice to the use of the term "mountain". There is no conflict between the two terms.(6)As regards the names "Leche certificada de Granja" and "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey", protection has been requested solely for the Spanish version of the name "Leche certificada de Granja" and for the English version of the name "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey". Therefore, in accordance with Directive 2000/13/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March 2000, on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffsOJ L 109, 6.5.2000, p. 29., when these two products are marketed their labels must include in the other languages, immediately next to the name concerned, the words "traditional Spanish-style" or their equivalent for the former product and the equivalent of "traditional British-style" for the latter.(7)As regards the name "Traditional Farmfresh Turkey", in accordance with Directive 2000/13/EC, the labelling and in particular the information intended for consumers must in no case lead to confusion with the terms laid down for indicating types of farming in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1538/91 of 5 June 1991 introducing detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1906/90 on certain marketing standards for poultrymeatOJ L 143, 7.6.1991, p. 11.,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
