1.   Name

‘Salame Felino’

2.   Member State or third country

Italy

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product

Class 1.2:

Meat products (cooked, salted, smoked, etc.)

3.2.   Description of product to which the name in (1) applies

When released for consumption, ‘Salame Felino’ PGI must be cylindrical, with one end fatter than the other. Its outer surface must be of a whitish/greyish colour and slightly powdery owing to the surface development of a small quantity of indigenous mould.

‘Salame Felino’ PGI must have the following characteristics:

—	weight: between 200 g and 4,5 kg;

—	size: irregular cylindrical shape, between 15 cm and 130 cm long;

—	organoleptic characteristics: when cut, the slices must be firm but not springy; they must be homogeneous and lean, ruby red in colour, free of blemishes, and have a mild and delicate flavour;

—	chemical and chemico-physical characteristics: total protein min. 23 % collagen/protein ratio max. 0,10 water/protein ratio max. 2,00 fat/protein ratio max. 1,50 pH > 5,3 total lactobacilli > 100 000

3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

‘Salame Felino’ PGI is produced from pig meat in the manner described below:

—	the animals used must be purebred pigs of the basic traditional Large White and Landrace breeds or animals derived from those breeds, as well as improved types as listed in the Italian Herd Book;

—	also allowed are animals derived from the Duroc breed, as well as improved types as listed in the Italian Herd Book;

—	animals of other breeds, crossbred or hybrid, are also allowed, provided that their carcasses come under classes U, R or O, as defined in the pig carcass classification table in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, as amended;

—	in line with tradition, animals carrying unfavourable traits, and in particular susceptibility to stress (PSS), are in any case not permitted; nowadays, such traits can be objectively detected in animals post mortem and in cured products;

—	purebred Belgian Landrace, Hampshire, Pietrain, Duroc and Spotted Poland animals are in any case not permitted;

—	the genetic types used must allow the achievement of high weights and good yields and, in any case, an average live weight per animal of 160 kg +/– 10 %;

—	the minimum age at slaughter is nine months;

—	boars and sows must not be used;

—	the pigs must be slaughtered in an optimum state of health and completely bled;

—	the cuts of meat used to produce ‘Salame Felino’ PGI must be pieces of choice muscle or fat tissue such as the forward part of the belly (testa di pancetta) and/or minced meat from under the shoulder (trito di banco (sottospalla)). The meat used must not have undergone any freezing.

The muscle and fat tissue must be carefully cleaned, with the soft adipose tissue and larger pieces of connective matter being removed.

The meat (muscle and fat tissue) used for ‘Salame Felino’ PGI must be put into a cold store at a temperature of not less than – 1 °C and arranged in such a way as to allow the muscle tissue to dry out well.

The mix must be minced using a meat grinder (fitted with perforated plates with 6-8 mm holes).

The meat must then be mixed with salt (2-2,8 %), whole pepper and/or pepper pieces (0,03-0,06 %) and ground garlic.

Use may also be made of:

—	dry white wine, up to a maximum of 400 cl per 100 kg of meat, so as to accentuate the aroma and flavour;

—	sugar and/or dextrose and/or fructose: 0-0,3 %;

—

fermentation starter cultures: such starter cultures must be used in line with best practice, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the starter cultures for ‘Salame Felino’. Their function is to develop the product’s aroma and flavour through their lipolytic and proteolytic effect, stabilising the colour and limiting acidification;

—	sodium and/or potassium nitrate (maximum 300 mg/kg), sodium and/or potassium nitrite (maximum 150 mg/kg), ascorbic acid and its sodium salt (maximum 1 g/kg).

3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

Marketed feed must comply with trade standards. The feed should preferably be in liquid form (swill or mash), and is traditionally mixed with whey. For the feed permitted for animals up to 80 kg live weight, the dry matter content from grain must not be less than 45 % of the total. For the feed permitted during the fattening stage, the dry matter from grain must not be less than 55 % of the total.

3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

The specific steps in production are:

—	mincing with a meat grinder;

—	mixing the mince and the added salt, pepper and garlic; wine, sugars, fermentation starter cultures, sodium or potassium nitrate, sodium or potassium nitrite and ascorbic acid and its sodium salt may also be used;

—	filling the mix into natural hog casing;

—	tying with twine (not netted);

—	drying and curing.

3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

‘Salame Felino’ must be sliced and packaged under the surveillance of the authorised body in line with the provisions of the monitoring plan.

Indeed, owing to the delicate nature of the product, and because the slicing and packaging stages are potentially harmful, it is essential that the period during which the slices remain in contact with the air is as short as possible, so as to prevent them taking on a brown colour.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

‘Salame Felino’ PGI may be released for consumption either whole, with only the label and possibly the seal; thickly cut, in vacuum packs or in a protective atmosphere; or sliced, in vacuum packs or in a protective atmosphere.

The name ‘Salame Felino’ followed by the wording ‘Protected Geographical Indication’ or the abbreviation ‘PGI’ (translated into the language in which the product is being marketed) must be affixed to the label or, where relevant, the seal, in clear, indelible characters that can be easily distinguished from any other writing on the label/seal, followed by the Community graphic symbol and the company mark.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The ‘Salame Felino’ PGI production area is the administrative territory of the Province of Parma.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The ‘Salame Felino’ PGI production area, which covers the whole Province of Parma, is marked by the presence of both hilly and flat areas, as well as lakes and salt mines.

The geographical area was defined by making reference to an in-depth historical reconstruction of the production practices that gave rise to the creation of this typical product. These practices are linked to the age-old traditions of pork butchery and curing which have been facilitated by the presence, since antiquity, of salt mines and distinctive climatic conditions resulting from the presence of specific levels of humidity, exposure to marine air currents and the concentration of large wooded areas.

In the Parma hills, it has always been possible to combine the techniques of the plain with the salt of Salsomaggiore.

The phrase ‘techniques of the plain’ means those methods for processing and curing pig meat that developed as far back as the Etruscan and Roman period owing to the presence of pig farms dedicated, among other things, to supplying food for the Roman legions. In the hills around the plain, these techniques were combined with the opportunity to make easier use of the salt from the Salsomaggiore mines as a result of the hills being the traditional focal point for processing the salt, which, being a precious substance, was processed in areas that were located far from communication routes and were thus more secure from possible raids.

Indeed, because of the presence of these salt mines, the salting and processing of pig meat has, since 1300, led to the manufacture of products that are recognised at both national and international level.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Salame Felino’ PGI differs from other products in the same commercial category owing to its firmness and non-springy consistency, its uniformity, and its ruby red colour. Its flavour is mild and delicate.

Unlike the vast majority of salamis on the market, ‘Salame Felino’ is packed exclusively in natural casings (i.e. never synthetic ones). It is free of lactose and powdered milk and has a moderately high pH, with the resultant improvement in the organoleptic qualities.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

‘Salame Felino’ PGI’s reputation is attested to by a copious bibliography of references and citations.

The first references date back as far as certain Latin authors of the 1st century AD (Apicus — De re coquinaria).

‘Salame Felino’ was well known in the courts that subsequently established themselves in the capital, from the Farnese to the Bourbons to Duchess Marie Louise.

The oldest depiction of the product seems to be found in the decoration of the interior of the Baptistery of Parma (1196-1307). On the frieze slab dedicated to the Aquarius sign of the zodiac, two salamis can be seen at the hearth on a rotating saucepan stand. These salamis are of a size and shape that can still be found today and are the same as those of ‘Salame Felino’ PGI.

A 1766 census of the pig population revealed that the Marquisate of Felino was the most lively pig market in the district. Dating from the same period are price lists for the Felino area quoting prices for lean and fatty salami. Reports of customs and culinary traditions for the early 19th century reveal that there was a distinctive method of processing pig meat into salami in the area around the town of Felino.

The entry ‘Salame Felino’ appeared in the Italian dictionary in 1905 and, in 1912, the production of salami in Felino was examined in the Ministry of Agriculture’s report on economic performance for the year.

Since 1927, the relevant local public institutions have granted salami produced in the Province of Parma the name ‘Salame Felino’. Indeed, this name must obviously have already enjoyed particular renown and reputation, and thus been particularly recognisable, if the Office and Provincial Council of the National Economy felt that promoting its commercial use was a means of boosting the prosperity of the province. Still today, the fact that the production of ‘Salame Felino’ is rooted in the territory of the Province of Parma can be seen through research and studies into the area’s gastronomic culture. Indeed, many reviews have linked ‘Salame Felino’ to the province’s gastronomy, citing it as one of Parma’s most highly appreciated sausage meat products, the quality of which is inextricably linked to the centuries-old tradition that developed and is maintained unchanged only in the valleys of the Province of Parma. To this should be added the many events that continue to be organised both in Italy and abroad by both the local and the provincial authorities of Parma in honour of ‘Salame Felino’, with stands being set up to offer tastings and information material on the characteristics of the product and its historical production in the Province of Parma.

ANNEX

Guidelines for Member States on calculating renewable energy from heat pumps from different heat pump technologies pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2009/28/EC

1.   INTRODUCTION

Annex VII to the Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC (the Directive) establishes the basic method for calculating renewable energy supplied by heat pumps. Annex VII sets out three parameters that are needed for the calculation of the renewable energy from heat pumps to be counted for the renewable energy targets;

(a)	the power system efficiency (η or eta);

(b)	the estimated amount of useful energy supplied from the heat pumps (Qusable);

(c)	the ‘seasonal performance factor’ (SPF).

The methodology for determining the power system efficiency (η) was agreed in the Renewable Energy Statistics Working Party of 23 October 2009  (1). The data required for the calculation of the power system efficiency is covered by Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008  (2) on energy statistics. The power system efficiency (η) is set at 0,455 (or 45,5 %), based on the most recent data for 2010 (3), which is the value to be used towards 2020.

These guidelines therefore set out how Member States should estimate the two remaining parameters of Qusable and the ‘seasonal performance factor’ (SPF), taking into consideration differences in climatic conditions, especially very cold climates. With these guidelines Member States are enabled to calculate the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies.

2.   DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this Decision, the following definitions apply:

‘Qusable ’ means the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, calculated as the product of the rated capacity for heating (Prated) and the annual equivalent heat pump hours (HHP), expressed in GWh;

‘annual equivalent heat pump hours’ (HHP) means the assumed annual number of hours a heat pump has to provide heat at rated capacity to deliver the total usable heat delivered by heat pumps, expressed in h;

‘rated capacity’ (Prated) means the cooling or heating capacity of the vapour compression cycle or sorption cycle of the unit at standard rating conditions;

‘SPF’ shall mean the estimated average seasonal performance factor, which refers to the ‘net seasonal coefficient of performance in active mode’ (SCOPnet) for electrically driven heat pumps or ‘net seasonal primary energy ratio in active mode’ (SPERnet) for thermally driven heat pumps.

3.   ESTIMATING SPF AND QUSABLE

3.1.   Methodology Principles

The methodology follows three main principles:

(a)	the methodology has to be technically sound;

(b)	the approach must be pragmatic, balancing accuracy and cost-effectiveness;

(c)	the default factors for establishing the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps are set at a conservative level to lower the risk of overestimating the contribution of renewable energy from heat pumps.

Member States are encouraged to improve the conservative default values by adapting them to national/regional circumstances, including the development of more accurate methodologies. Such improvements should be reported to the Commission and made publicly available.

3.2.   Outline of methodology

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, the amount of renewable energy supplied by heat pump technologies (ERES) shall be calculated with the following formula:

Where:

—	Qusable	=	the estimated total usable heat delivered by heat pumps [GWh],
—	HHP	=	equivalent full load hours of operation [h],
—	Prated	=	capacity of heat pumps installed, taking into account the lifetime of different types of heat pumps [GW],
—	SPF	=	the estimated average seasonal performance factor (SCOPnet or SPERnet).

Default values for HHP and conservative default SPF values are set out in Tables 1 and 2 in Section 3.6.

3.3.   Minimum performance of heat pumps to be considered as renewable energy under the Directive

In accordance with Annex VII to the Directive, Member States shall ensure that only heat-pumps with a SPF above 1,15 * 1/η are taken into account.

With power system efficiency (η) set at 45,5 % (see Section 1 and footnote 3) it implies that the minimum SPF of electrically driven heat pumps (SCOPnet) to be considered as renewable energy under the Directive is 2,5.

For heat pumps that are driven by thermal energy (either directly, or through the combustion of fuels), the power system efficiency (η) is equal to 1. For such heat pumps the minimum SPF (SPERnet) is 1,15 for the purposes of being considered as renewable energy under the Directive.

Member States should consider, in particular for air sourced heat pumps, how large a fraction of their already installed capacity of heat pumps have a SPF above the minimum performance. In that assessment the Member States may rely on both test data and measurements, although lack of data may in many cases reduce the assessment to expert judgment by each Member State. Such expert judgments should be conservative, meaning that the estimates rather underestimate than overestimate the contribution of heat pumps (4). In the case of air-sourced water heaters it is normally only in exceptional cases that such heat pumps have an SPF above the minimum threshold.

3.4.   System boundaries for measuring energy from heat pumps

The system boundaries for measurement include the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant pump and, for ad/absorption, in addition the sorption cycle and solvent pump. The determination of the SPF should be according to the seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOPnet) according to EN 14825:2012 or seasonal primary energy ratio (SPERnet) according to EN 12309. That implies that electric energy or fuel consumption for operation of the heat pump and circulation of the refrigerant should be taken into account. The corresponding system boundary is shown in Figure 1 below as SPFH2, highlighted in red.

Figure 1

System boundaries for measurement of SPF and Qusable

SEPEMO build.

The following abbreviations are used in Figure 1:

ES_fan/pump	Energy used to run fan and/or pump that circulates the refrigerant
EHW_hp	Energy used to run the heat pump itself
Ebt_pump	Energy used to run pump that circulates the medium that absorbs the ambient energy (not relevant for all heat pumps)
EHW_bu	Energy used to run supplementary heater (not relevant for all heat pumps)
EB_fan/pump	Energy used to run fan and/or pump that circulates the medium that supplies the final usable heat
QH_hp	Heat supplied from the heat source via the heat pump
QW_hp	Heat supplied from the mechanical energy used to drive the heat pump
QHW_hp	Heat supplied from the supplementary heater (not relevant for all heat pumps)
ERES	Renewable aerothermal, geothermal or hydrothermal energy (the heat source) captured by the heat pump
ERES
Qusable

It follows from the system boundaries set out above, that the calculation of renewable energy supplied by the heat pump depends on the heat pump alone and not the heating system the heat pump is a part of. Inefficient use of heat pump energy is therefore a matter of energy efficiency, and should therefore not influence the calculations of renewable energy supplied by heat pumps.

3.5.   Climate conditions

The definition of average, colder and warmer climate conditions follows the method as proposed in the draft for Commission Delegated Regulation on energy labelling of boilers (5), where ‘average climate conditions’, ‘colder climate conditions’ and ‘warmer climate conditions’ mean the temperature conditions characteristic for the cities of Strasbourg, Helsinki and Athens, respectively. Suggested climate condition areas are set out in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2

Climate condition areas

In cases where several climate conditions are existing within the same Member State, the Member States should estimate the installed capacity of heat pumps in the respective climate condition area.

3.6.   Default values for SPF and Qusable for heat pumps

The default values for HHP and SPF (SCOPnet) for electrically driven heat pumps are as set out in the table below:

Table 1

The default values for HHP and SPF (SPERnet) for heat pumps driven by thermal energy are as set out in the table below:

	Water-Water	1 340	1,6	2 070	1,6	2 470	1,6

The default values set out in Tables 1 and 2 above are typical for the segment of heat pumps with a SPF above the minimum threshold, meaning that heat pumps with SPF below 2,5 have not been taken into consideration when the typical values have been established (6).

3.7.   Remarks related to non-electrically driven heat pumps

The heat pumps that do not use electricity, either use liquid or gaseous fuel to drive the compressor, or use an ad/absorption process (driven by combustion of liquid or gaseous fuel or by use of geothermal/solarthermal energy or waste heat) are delivering renewable energy as long as the ‘net seasonal primary energy ratio in active mode’ (SPERnet) is 115 % or larger than that value (7).

3.8.   Remarks related to heat pumps using exhaust air as energy source

Heat pumps using exhaust air as energy source use ambient energy, and such heat pumps therefore supply renewable energy. But simultaneously such heat pumps recover the energy in the exhaust air, which is not aerothermal energy according to the Directive (8). It is therefore only the aerothermal energy that is counted as renewable energy. This is adjusted for by correcting the HHP values for such heat pumps as set out in Section 3.6.

3.9.   Remarks to air sourced heat pumps

The HHP values shown in Tables 1 and 2 above are based on HHE values which includes not only the hours the heat pump is used, but also the hours that the supplementary heater is used. As the supplementary heater is outside of the system boundaries described in Section 3.4, the HHE values for all air source heat pumps are appropriately adjusted to only account for the useful heat delivered by the heat pump itself. The adjusted HHP figures are shown in Tables 1 and 2 above.

In the case of air sourced heat pumps with capacity reported for design conditions (and not for standard testing conditions), the HHE values should be used (9).

Only ambient air, i.e. outdoor air, can be the source of energy for an air-sourced heat pump.

3.10.   Remarks related to reversible heat pumps

Firstly, reversible heat pumps in warm and to some extent average climates are often installed with the purpose of cooling the indoor environment, although they are also used to provide heating during the winter. As the cooling demand in the summer is higher than the heating demand in the winter, the rated capacity reflects the cooling demand rather than the need for heating. As the installed capacity is used as an indicator of heating demand, it implies that the statistics of installed capacity will not reflect the capacity installed for heating purposes. Moreover, reversible heat pumps are often installed in parallel to existing heating systems, implying that these heat pumps are not always used for heating purposes.

Both elements need appropriate adjustment. A conservative reduction (10) to 10 % for warm climate and 40 % for average climate is assumed in Tables 1 and 2 above. However, the real reduction is strongly dependent on national practices for providing heating systems, and national figures shall therefore be used where possible. The use of alternative figures should be submitted to the Commission, together with a report describing the method and data used. The Commission will, if necessary, translate the documents and publish them on its transparency platform.

3.11.   Renewable energy contribution from hybrid heat pump systems

For hybrid heat pump systems, where the heat pump works in cooperation with other renewable energy technologies (e.g. solar thermal collectors used as pre-heaters), the accounting of renewable energy is at risk of inaccuracy. Member States shall therefore ensure that the accounting of renewable energy from hybrid heat pump systems is correct, and in particular ensure that no renewable energy is accounted more than once.

3.12.   Guidance on the development of more accurate methodologies

It is envisaged and encouraged that Member States do their own estimations for both SPF and HHP. If improved estimations can be made, such national/regional approaches should be based on accurate assumptions, representative samples of sufficient size, resulting in a significantly improved estimate of renewable energy from heat pumps compared to the estimate obtained through the use of the method set out in this Decision. Such improved methodologies may be based on detailed calculation based on technical data taking into account, among other factors, year of installation, quality of installation, compressor type, operation mode, heat distribution system, bivalence point and the regional climate.

If measurements are only available at other system boundaries than the system boundary set out in Section 3.4, appropriate adjustments should be made.

Only those heat pumps with energy efficiency above the minimum threshold, as set out in Annex VII to the Directive, shall be included for the calculation of renewable energy for the purpose of the Directive.

Member States are invited, when alternative methodologies and/or values are used, to submit them to the Commission together with a report describing the method and data used. The Commission will, if necessary, translate the documents and publish them on its transparency platform.

(3)  The value for η in 2010 is 45,5 % (developing from 44,0 % in 2007, 44,7 % 2008 and 45,1 % in 2009), leading to a minimum SPF of 2,5 in 2010. This is a conservative estimate, as the power system efficiency is expected to increase towards 2020. However, as the basis of estimating the power system efficiency (η) changes due to updates in the underlying statistics, it is more predictable to set the η at a fixed level in order to avoid confusion regarding the minimum SPF requirements (create legal certainty) and also to facilitate methodology development by Member States (see Section 3.10). If necessary, η can be revised as per Article 2 (revision of guidelines if necessary by 31 December 2016).

(4)  Particular attention is required regarding reversible air sourced heat pumps, as a number of potential sources of overestimation exist, notably: (a) not all reversible heat pumps are used for heating, or only to a limited extent, and (b) older (and new less efficient) units may have an efficiency (SPF) below the required minimum threshold of 2,5.

(5)  This draft has not been adopted yet by the Commission (January 2013). The draft can be found in the WTO’s database: http://members.wto.org/crnattachments/2012/tbt/EEC/12_2119_00_e.pdf

(6)  This implies that Member States can consider the values set out in Tables 1 and 2 as average values of the electrically driven heat pumps that have SPF above the minimum 2,5.

(7)  See Section 3.3.

(8)  See Article 5(4), and definition of ‘aerothermal energy’ in Article 2(b) of the Directive.

(9)  These values are 1 336, 2 066 and 3 465 for warm, average and cold climate respectively.

(10)  An Italian study (referred to on page 48 of ‘Outlook 2011 — European Heat Pump Statistics’) finds that in less than 10 % of the cases, heat pumps were the only installed heat generator. As reversible air-air heat pumps is the single most installed heat pump technology type (60 % of all installed units — mostly installed in Italy, Spain and France, as well as Sweden and Finland), it is important to adjust the figures appropriately. The Impact Assessment of Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2012 of 6 March 2012 implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to ecodesign requirements for air conditioners and comfort fans (OJ L 72, 10.3.2012, p. 7) assumes that EU wide, 33 % of reversible heat pumps are not used for heating. In addition one can assume that a large number of the 67 % of reversible heat pumps are only used partly for heating, as the heat pump is installed in parallel to another heating system. The proposed values are therefore appropriate to reduce the risk of over-estimation.

(*1)  The Member State in this hypothetical example did a survey of installed reversible air to air heat pumps and concluded that the equivalent of 48 % of the installed reversible heat pump capacity were used fully for heating, instead of the 40 % assumed in these guidelines. The HHP value is therefore adjusted up from 710 hours, which assumes 40 % and set out in Table 1, to 852 hours, which is representative for the estimated 48 %.
