A.   Individuals associated with the Taliban

Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee:

Ahmed Shah Noorzai Obaidullah owns and operates the Roshan Money Exchange which provides financial, material, or technological support for, or financial or other services to or in support of, the Taliban. Roshan Money Exchange stores and transfers funds in support of Taliban military operations and the Taliban’s role in the Afghan narcotics trade. As of 2011, Roshan Money Exchange was one of the primary money service providers (or ‘hawalas’) used by Taliban officials in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Ahmed Shah has provided hawala services to Taliban leaders in Helmand Province for a number of years and, as of 2011, was a trusted Taliban money service provider. In early 2012, the Taliban ordered Ahmed Shah to transfer money to a number of hawalas in Lashkar Gah, Helmand Province, from which a senior Taliban commander would then allocate the funds.

In late 2011, Ahmed Shah consolidated hundreds of thousands of US dollars to pass to the Taliban Finance Commission and transferred hundreds of thousands of US dollars for the Taliban, including to senior Taliban commanders. Also in late 2011, Ahmed Shah received through his hawala branch in Quetta, Pakistan, a transfer on behalf of the Taliban, money from which was used to purchase fertilizer and IED components, including batteries and detonator cord. In mid-2011, Taliban finance commission head Gul Agha Ishakzai instructed Ahmed Shah to deposit several million US dollars into Roshan Money Exchange for the Taliban. Gul Agha explained that when a money transfer was required, he would inform Ahmed Shah of the Taliban recipient. Ahmed Shah would then provide the required funds through his hawala system. As of mid-2010, Ahmed Shah moved money between Pakistan and Afghanistan for Taliban commanders and for narcotics traffickers. In addition to his facilitation activities, Ahmed Shah also donated large but unspecified sums of money to the Taliban in 2011.

ANNEX I

The following amendments to the specification for the protected geographical indication ‘Melon du Quercy’ are approved:

1.   Description of the agricultural product

As the European marketing standard for melons was repealed on 1 July 2009 (Regulation (EC) No 1615/2001), the reference made to class I of the Regulation is replaced by adding to the specification objective elements initially imposed by the standard (characteristics of the variety, good quality and uniform packaging).

The initial specification distinguished between ‘Charentais-type melons’ and ‘other types of long-keeping melons’. Given that all the melons used to produce ‘Melon du Quercy’ are of the Charentais type, a concise rewording is proposed.

In order to simplify the layout, the list of packaging classes is replaced by an explicit obligation to pack the melons uniformly, with the largest melon not weighing over 30 % more than the smallest.

As regards sugar content, national legislation on the certification conditions of this product imposed a minimum value of 11° Brix, which corresponds to production practices. It is therefore proposed to amend the specification of the PGI by replacing ‘greater than 11° Brix’ by ‘greater than or equal to 11° Brix’.

2.   Elements proving that the agricultural product originates from the defined area

A requirement concerning the identification of the operators is introduced in order to reinforce the control of the origin of ‘Melon du Quercy’. All the obligations concerning declarations, register keeping and product identification are introduced in this chapter.

In order to take into account the specificities of marketing on the retail market and keeping in mind that all Quercy melons are identified individually, it is no longer obligatory to identify the packages. Instead, consumers are provided with information through point-of-sale advertising or on the price tag.

3.   Description of the method of production

The production chart has been officially changed to highlight the different steps in the production of ‘Melon du Quercy’: production, sorting and packaging, and storage. A distinction is no longer made between the different marketing channels and instead the common obligations of all the operators are highlighted.

The procedure for establishing the annual lists of authorised varieties is specified in order to guarantee the quality of ‘Melon du Quercy’.

In connection with the transcription of provisions from national legislation and in order to provide more detailed information on the production phases, rules related to planting and sowing, irrigation, fertilisation, phytosanitary protection, approval and sorting are added to the specification.

Varietal development and the experience gained over the past 15 years, in particular the hot summers (especially in 2005), make it possible to guarantee that the quality of ‘Melon du Quercy’ will remain unchanged if the melon is harvested after 13.00, in other words when temperatures are higher. The obligation to harvest before 13.00 is therefore abolished.

Similarly, laying out the harvested melons in a single layer was justified in the case of highly shock-sensitive varieties. However, since tests carried out in 2009 did not reveal any loss of quality, the possibility of placing the harvested melons into pallets (packaging in several layers) is introduced.

As regards packaging, the reference to trays is deleted to allow the use of better-quality packaging, such as punnets.

In order to take into account the specificities of marketing on the retail market in a situation where the melons are regularly rearranged on the stalls, the obligation to use cellular trays and paper is deleted for this type of marketing.

4.   Control structure

The contact details of the control body are updated. A reference to its accreditation is added.

5.   Specific labelling details

Obligations specific to the PGI are introduced. The obligations related to national legislation are deleted (CCP).

6.   Requirements to be met under European or national provisions

Introduction of a table of the main points to be verified, in accordance with national requirements.

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product

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

Of the Charentais-type variety, a melon with a smooth or netted grey/green to yellow peel and orange flesh and a minimum weight of 450 g.

Whole, healthy, fresh-looking, firm, clean, of good quality; the peduncle of fruit harvested with their peduncle attached must be less than 2 cm.

The melon must have a refractive index of at least 11° Brix.

‘Melon du Quercy’ is put up for sale whole and packaged. For each package, the weight of the biggest melon may not exceed by more than 30 % the weight of the smallest.

The contents of each package must be uniform and contain only melons that have reached appreciably the same degree of development and ripeness and are of appreciably the same colour.

3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

—

3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

—

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

‘Melon du Quercy’ is cultivated in the geographical area of the PGI.

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

The approval, sorting and packaging take place in the geographical area of the PGI.

In order to guarantee the quality of the product, these operations must be carried out very rapidly so that the product can be placed on the market within six days of the harvest.

Approval and sorting are carried out in the geographical area, because these stages are essential for successfully selecting melons that qualify for the PGI. These operations are carried out by trained operators capable of judging when the melon is fully ripe on the basis of the peel’s colour and the sugar content as measured by refractometry.

Packaging, too, takes place in the geographical area, because it is done simultaneously with sorting and approval so as to limit the frequency of handling, which may affect the qualities of ‘Melon du Quercy’. Furthermore, traceability is ensured by identifying the melons and the packages individually using the ‘Melon du Quercy’ logo as well as by specific stock accounting.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The geographical area of the ‘Melon du Quercy’ PGI covers:

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

It is characterised by a climate with an alternation of ocean (cool and wet) and Mediterranean (hot and dry) influences that produce large temperature ranges. This temperate climate is well suited to growing the melon.

The land used has clay-limestone soil. These types of soil are particularly well adapted to the cultivation of the melon.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Melon du Quercy’ is of the Charentais-type variety, which has a smooth, netted peel with more or less prominent grooves/furrows.

It has an orange flesh that is juicy and both firm and tender.

The selection of varieties according to agronomic and aromatic criteria (flavour, taste, etc.) linked to the clay-limestone soils, typical climate and harvesting criteria (fully ripe) are key factors in obtaining fruit that live up to their potential: sweet flavour (11° Brix minimum), well-developed fragrances and tastes, sustained and characteristic aromas.

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)

The soil and climatic conditions of the geographical area contribute to the production of aromatic fruit.

On the one hand, the clay-limestone soils with their balanced and well-aerated structure enable steady growth of the plants and an optimal mineral balance for the fruit.

On the other hand, the specific climate of Quercy affects the setting, thus maximising the number of fruit per foot. This way each fruit is better nourished. At the same time, the Mediterranean influences (hot and dry), especially during the summer, promote the ripening of the fruit.

The quality of ‘Melon du Quercy’ is also based on the ancient know-how of the operators involved in the production of ‘Melon du Quercy’. This is evident in their ability to select varieties specifically adapted to the production area, in the harvesting of fully ripe fruit and in an optimal timetable for preparing the melons after harvesting.

The reputation of the melon was established when operators identified ‘Melon du Quercy’ already back in 1994. The many events surrounding the marketing of the melon contribute to its reputation, for example the festival of Belfort du Quercy held in mid-August or the opening of the season in July 1994 at the prefecture of Lot, which received much attention in the local press. In July 1996, La Dépêche du Midi ran an article entitled ‘l’excellence du Melon du Quercy’.

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product

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

The protected geographical indication (PGI) ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ designates bulbs of the Allium Cepa variety which belongs to the local ecotypes listed below, excluding all other types. They are characterised by their shape and by their early bulbing, which is a result of the effect of the photoperiod.

Three types of products can be distinguished:

3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

—

3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

—

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

All the production stages for the ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ indication, from sowing to harvesting, must take place in the geographical area of production.

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

After harvesting, the ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ bulbs are processed as follows:

Packaging must take place in the production area and must comply with traditional methods, which are deep-rooted in tradition and local historical folklore, so as to ensure that the product can be traced and checked and to maintain product quality.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

The packages must display, in printed characters twice as large as for other indications, the terms PGI ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’, whilst specifying the type of onion — ‘cipollotto’, ‘cipolla da consumo fresco’, ‘cipolla da serbo’ — and the brand.

When released for consumption, adhesive (or any other type of) labels are placed on young onions and on storage onions, displaying the EU logo and the product’s brand. On the other hand, a detailed label must be placed on each bunch of fresh onions packed in crates, whatever the size of the latter, displaying the company’s business name, the EU logo, the brand and the type of product so as to guarantee its traceability and to make it perfectly recognisable.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The production area of PGI ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ is made up of land which is well-suited to their cultivation, covering part or all of the administrative territory of the following Calabrian municipalities:

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ is cultivated on sandy or partly sandy land of average composition containing open clay or silt-laden soils, located along the coastal line or running alongside rivers and streams. Despite their gravelly texture, these soils of alluvial origin do not constrict the development and growth of the bulbs. Coastal land is well-suited for growing early-maturing onions to be consumed fresh, whereas internal land, made of clay or open clay soils, are well-suited for growing storage onions. Red onions have long been, and continue to be, grown both in family vegetable gardens and across large-scale areas and are an integral part of the rural countryside, of people’s diets, local dishes and traditional recipes.

The soil and climatic features of the territory combine to make a product which is quite unique, of high-level quality and renowned throughout the world.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ is known for its quality and organoleptic features such as the tenderness of its bulbs, its sweetness and easy digestibility. These features also enable one to eat ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ raw, and undoubtedly in far greater quantities than for normal onions.

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)

The request to have the PGI ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ recognised is justified by the product’s reputation and renown which notably grew thanks to various promotion campaigns, as demonstrated by historical and bibliographical sources. Various historical and bibliographical sources suggest that the onion was first introduced into the Mediterranean basin and in Calabria by the Phoenicians, then by the Greeks. The onion, very much appreciated during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, was considered a key product in people’s diets and for the local economy; onions were either bartered directly or sold and exported by sea to Tunisia, Algeria and Greece. Several travellers who visited Calabria and the Tyrrhenian coast between 1700 and 1800 refer to common ‘Cipolle Rosse’ (red onions) in their writings. Onions have always been a part of farmers’ diets and of local production. Already in 1905, during a trip to Calabria during which he visited Tropea, Doctor Albert was struck by the poverty of the peasants who only ate onions. At the turn of the twentieth century, the cultivation of the Tropea onion moved away from small gardens and family vegetable gardens and started to be grown on a very large scale. In 1929, the construction of the Valle Ruffa aqueduct enabled onion crops to be irrigated, which improved both the yield and the quality of the product. It was during the Bourbon period that the greatest impulse was given to spreading onion cultivation towards northern European markets. The onion soon became a sought-after and much appreciated product, as demonstrated by the ‘Studi sulla Calabria’ (Studies on Calabria) of 1901, which also refer to the shape of the bulb and to the red, oblong onions from Calabria. The first statistics compiled on onion cultivation in Calabria can be found in the ‘Enciclopedia agraria Reda (1936-39)’ (Reda Agricultural Encyclopaedia). The unique commercial features of this onion, which ensured its renown nationally, and also, above all, its historical and cultural value in the geographical area in question (still very much present in current cultural practices such as cooking, folkloric demonstrations and everyday idiomatic expressions) explain why this product has often been imitated and why its name is subject to counterfeiting.

Reference to publication of the specification

The competent Ministry launched the national objection procedure by publishing a proposal for recognising the PGI ‘Cipolla Rossa di Tropea Calabria’ in Official Gazette of the Italian Republic No 185 of 10 August 2011.

ANNEX I

The specification for the protected designation of origin ‘Chianti Classico’ is amended as follows:

—   Description of product

A reference to the Tuscan olive germ plasm register has been added, as this document is regularly updated to take account of current scientific and genetic research into old olive trees in our area.

This amendment does not, however, result from a desire to introduce new varieties but rather from a wish to improve our knowledge in order to introduce varities which, although they have existed for a long time, have not yet been described and registered.

—   Method of production

Growing characteristics

Regarding the characteristics of the growing environment, it was thought useful to lower by 20 metres the minimum altitude below which the olive trees may not be entered in the register, as the minimum altitude of the entire area is 180 metres above sea level. When the first version of the specification was drawn up the measurement systems used were not as precise as those used today. Thanks to modern GPS systems greater precision has now been possible.

Oil production

A new production level has been introduced for olive plantations with a density greater than 500 plants per hectare, since the ‘Chianti Classico’ area includes plantations dating from the 1990s which meet the technical criteria of that time and for which the limit of 650 kg of oil per hectare is a major impediment to the economy and the development of the sector.

Harvesting and conservation method

Alongside boxes, crates and waggons may be used to transport the olives, but in this case the olives must be transported to the mill for processing on the day of harvesting and within three (3) days if open boxes are used.

Oil extraction method and constitution of batches

It is now possible to use air to clean the olives, as new technological systems developed by manufacturers and already used in other producing countries have been introduced, in order to attach even greater importance to conserving water.

Validity of the certificate of conformity

Oil complying with the specification may be bottled up to 31 October of the year following that of the olive harvest if it is filtered to clarify it by 31 December and, in any case, at the latest by the application date for certification.

If the oil exhibits the chemical and organoleptic characteristics listed in the specifications, and if the conservation conditions are correct, these conditions may differ slightly in terms of quality without, however, jeopardising the criteria of ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO oil. The filtration method has been added, specifying that its aim is to clarify the oil (rather than merely to filter out the solids) and that it must be carried out by 31 December at the latest, with the aim of teaching olive growers conservation techniques which are better suited to marketing a quality product.

It has also been specified that the oil’s physical characteristics must be definitive at the time it is sampled, i.e. if the compliant oil is to be bottled, at the latest by 31 October of the year following that of harvesting, and that the clarifying filtration must be carried out by 31 December at the latest, or in any case prior to sampling, if the application in question is received before 31 December.

The amendment adds the option of not filtering the oil, so as not to restrict the freedom of the grower, but the oil must be conserved under inert gas so as to best preserve its qualitative characteristics.

—   Other (packaging)

Metal containers may now be used for formats of less than 3 and 5 litres.

Indeed, containers of less than 100 ml have been added, on condition that these are not sold individually but rather placed on the market in packaging with a total volume corresponding to those authorised by the regulations. This amendment stems from the need to meet market demands, i.e. these smaller containers will allow retailers to satisfy the expectations of the gastronomic sector, which prefers not to use already-opened bottles, and to guarantee product promotion by improving its visibility.

‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil must be produced from olives from registered olive trees in a proportion of at least 80 % from the varieties Frantoio, Correggiolo, Moraiolo and Leccino, alone or together, and not more than 20 % from other local varieties, which must always be entered in the Tuscan olive germ plasm register.

When released for consumption as ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO, the oil must have the following characteristics:

The oil must in addition:

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

The cultivation, production and pressing of ‘Chianti Classico’ extra-virgin olive oil must take place within the production area specified under point 4.

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

‘Chianti Classico’ oil must be put up in the production area in glass or metal containers of a specified volume in nominal quantities of up to 5 (five) litres. Glass, metal or PET containers of less than 100 ml are also allowed, provided that their packaging complies with the total capacities authorised by the regulations in force. Containers must be closed hermetically using a device which, upon opening, breaks the guarantee seal.

‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil must be put up in the geographical production area so as to better guarantee the product’s proof of origin and avoid deterioration and loss of the product’s specific characteristics, defined in 3.2 above, when it is transported in bulk, in particular the typical bitter and sharp notes of ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil, determined by the phenol antioxidant content and the profile of aromatic substances. Exposure to oxygen in the air when being transferred, pumped, transported and unloaded — operations carried out more frequently if bottling takes place outside the production area — could cause the ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil to lose the specific characteristics defined in 3.2 above.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

The labelling on containers must bear, in addition to the particulars normally required by law and trade practice, the words ‘Olio Extravergine di Oliva Chianti Classico’ followed immediately by the words ‘Denominazione di Origine Protetta’ and show clearly in indelible letters the year of production.

It is prohibited to add to the designation any description not expressly provided for in the production specification. However, marks denoting producer groups, names of holdings, estates or farms and place names referring to locations where olives are genuinely grown may be included.

The designation must be shown on the label in clear, indelible letters sufficiently intense in colour to contrast sharply with the colour of the label. The graphic characters of any additional wording may not exceed 50 % of the size of the wording of the designation.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The production area for ‘Chianti Classico’ oil comprises, in the Provinces of Siena and Florence, the following administrative districts: the whole of Castellina in Chianti, Gaiole in Chianti, Greve in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, and parts of Barberino Val d’Elsa, Castelnuovo Berardenga, Poggibonsi, San Casciano in Val di Pesa and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.

The area is the same as the production area for ‘Chianti Classico’ wine set out in the Interministerial Decree of 31 July 1932, published in GURI (Italian State Gazette) No 209 of 9 September 1932.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The production area of ‘Chianti Classico’ oil has specific climatic and hydrological characteristics and has been well mapped out since the 14th century.

The production area is fairly uniform in terms of terrain and climate; autumns which are on average mild and dry give way to hard winters. The environment as a whole is such that olive trees can be cultivated at the limit of their natural growth zone, which has and indeed continues to influence the olives’ fructification and maturing process.

According to the cultivation techniques which have always been used in this area, the olives are harvested directly from the tree before they are fully mature.

The thermal conditions also determine the shape of the trees (normally branching out at the top) adopted by the local growers, which allows the crown to grow so as to better distribute light and heat in the crown, which help the trees develop during short periods of the year.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil is made from varieties traditionally grown in Tuscany and is distinguished by its sensory profile, mainly due to its intense bitter and sharp taste, with fruity aromatic notes.

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)

The chemical and organoleptic characteristics of ‘Chianti Classico’ PDO extra virgin olive oil are linked to the climate of the production area which has a direct influence on the quality and quantity of the phenols, the degree of bitterness and sharpness of the taste and the level of fruitiness.

In view of the need to protect the olives from the first autumn frosts, they are traditionally harvested early (i.e. before they are fully mature). Even if this means a lower quantity of oil, it allows the olives to be harvested when their polyphenol content is still high, helping to intensify the bitter and sharp taste so typical of ‘Chianti Classico’ oil. Moreover, thanks to the major variations in temperature normal in this area in autumn, ‘Chianti Classico’ extra virgin olive oil is also distinguished by a very fruity aroma.

The area was given more precise recognition in an edict issued by Duke Cosimo III in 1716 marking out its present boundaries in acknowledgement of the merits and distinctive features of its wine and olive production: a kind of PDO long before the term was invented. A complete theoretical and practical treatise on the olive by G. Tavanti in 1819 listed the main varieties grown in the Chianti Classico region.

Roshan Money Exchange stores and transfers funds in support of Taliban military operations and the Taliban’s role in the Afghan narcotics trade. As of 2011, Roshan Money Exchange was one of the primary money service providers (or “hawalas”) used by Taliban officials in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Ahmed Shah has provided hawala services to Taliban leaders in Helmand Province for a number of years and, as of 2011, was a trusted Taliban money service provider. In early 2012, the Taliban ordered Ahmed Shah to transfer money to a number of hawalas in Lashkar Gah, Helmand Province, from which a senior Taliban commander would then allocate the funds.

In late 2011, Ahmed Shah consolidated hundreds of thousands of US dollars to pass to the Taliban Finance Commission and transferred hundreds of thousands of US dollars for the Taliban, including to senior Taliban commanders. Also in late 2011, Ahmed Shah received through his hawala branch in Quetta, Pakistan, a transfer on behalf of the Taliban, money from which was used to purchase fertilizer and IED components, including batteries and detonator cord. In mid-2011, Taliban finance commission head Gul Agha Ishakzai instructed Ahmed Shah to deposit several million US dollars into Roshan Money Exchange for the Taliban. Gul Agha explained that when a money transfer was required, he would inform Ahmed Shah of the Taliban recipient. Ahmed Shah would then provide the required funds through his hawala system. As of mid-2010, Ahmed Shah moved money between Pakistan and Afghanistan for Taliban commanders and for narcotics traffickers. In addition to his facilitation activities, Ahmed Shah also donated large but unspecified sums of money to the Taliban in 2011.
