 6. REQUIREMENTS
 6.1. Dimensions of tyres
 6.1.1. Section width of a tyre
 6.1.1.1. The section width shall be calculated by the following formula:
 S = S1 + K(A – A1),
 where:
 S
 =
 is the ‘section width’ expressed in mm and measured on the measuring rim;
 S1
 =
 is the ‘nominal section width’ (in mm) as shown on the side wall of the tyre in the designation of the tyre as prescribed;

 6.1.3. Method of measuring pneumatic tyres
 The dimensions of pneumatic tyres shall be measured by the procedure described in Annex VI to this Regulation.
 6.1.4. Tyre section-width specifications
 6.1.4.1. The overall width of a tyre may be less than the section width determined pursuant to paragraph 6.1.1. above.
 6.1.4.2. It may exceed that value by the following percentages:
 6.1.4.2.1.
 in diagonal (bias-ply) tyres: 6 per cent;
 6.1.4.2.2.
 in radial ply, run flat tyres: 4 per cent;
 6.1.4.2.3.
 in addition, if the tyre has special protective ribs (or bands), the figure as increased by the above tolerance may be exceeded by 8 mm.
 6.1.4.2.4.
 However, for tyres identified by the ‘tyre to rim fitment configuration’ (see para. 3.1.10) symbol ‘A’ or ‘U’, the overall width of the tyre, in the lower area of the tyre, equals the nominal width of the rim on which the tyre is mounted, as shown by the manufacturer in the descriptive note, increased by 20 mm.
 6.1.5. Tyre outer-diameter specifications
 The outer-diameter of a tyre must not be outside the values Dmin and Dmax obtained from the following formulae:
 Dmin = d + (2H × a)
 Dmax = d + (2H × b)

 1,08
 6.1.5.4.
 for snow tyres the overall diameter (Dmax) established in conformity with the above may be exceeded by 1 per cent.
 6.2. Load/speed performance test
 6.2.1. The pneumatic tyre shall undergo a load/speed performance test carried out by the procedure described in Annex VII to this Regulation.
 6.2.1.1. Where application is made for tyres identified by means of letter code ‘ZR’ within the size designation and suitable for speeds over 300 km/h (see paragraph 4.1.15), the above load/speed test is carried out on one tyre at the load and speed conditions marked on the tyre (see paragraph 3.1.4.1). Another load/speed test must be carried out on a second sample of the same tyre type at the load and speed conditions specified as maximum by the tyre manufacturer (see paragraph 4.1.15 to this Regulation).
 The second test may be carried out on the same tyre sample if the tyre manufacturer agrees.
 6.2.1.2. Where application is made for the type approval of a ‘run flat system’ the above load speed test is carried out on one tyre, inflated as per paragraph 1.2 of Annex VII, at the load and speed conditions marked on the tyre (see paragraph 3.1.4.1). Another load/speed test must be carried out on a second sample of the same tyre type as specified in paragraph 3. of Annex VII. The second test may be carried out on the same sample if the manufacturer agrees.
 6.2.2. A tyre which after undergoing the load/speed test does not exhibit any tread separation, ply separation, cord separation, chunking or broken cords shall be deemed to have passed the test.
 6.2.2.1. However, a tyre marked with the speed symbol ‘Y’ which, after undergoing the relevant test, exhibits superficial blistering of the tyre tread caused by the specific test equipment and conditions, is deemed to have passed the test.
 6.2.2.2. If a ‘run flat system’ tyre which, after undergoing the test as specified in paragraph 3 of Annex VII, does not exhibit a change in the deflected section height, compared to the deflected section height at the start of the test, higher than 20 per cent and retains the tread connected to the two sidewalls, it is deemed to have passed the test.
 6.2.3. The outer diameter of the tyre, measured six hours after the load/speed performance test, must not differ by more than ± 3,5 per cent from the outer diameter as measured before the test.
 6.3. Tread-wear indicators
 6.3.1. The pneumatic tyre shall include not less than six transverse rows of wear indicators, approximately equally spaced and situated in the principal grooves of the tread. The tread-wear indicators shall be such that they cannot be confused with the rubber ridges between the ribs or blocks of the tread.
 6.3.2. However, in the case of tyres of dimensions appropriate for mounting on rims of a nominal diameter of 12 or less, four rows of tread-wear indicators shall be accepted.
 6.3.3. The tread-wear indicators must provide a means of indicating, with a tolerance of + 0,60/– 0,00 mm, when the tread grooves are no longer more than 1,6 mm deep.
 6.3.4. The height of tread-wear indicators is determined by measuring the difference between the depth, from the tread's surface, to the top of the tread-wear indicator and to the bottom of the tread groove close to the slope at the base of the tread-wear indicator.

 During the test the temperature in the test-room must be maintained at between 20° and 30° or at a higher temperature if the manufacturer agrees.
 2.5.
 Carry the test through, without interruption in conformity with the following particulars:
 2.5.1.
 time taken to pass from zero speed to initial test speed: 10 minutes;
 2.5.2.
 initial test speed: prescribed maximum speed for the type of tyre (see paragraph 2.29.3 of this Regulation), less 40 km/h in the case of the smooth wheel having 1,70 m ± 1 per cent in diameter or less 30 km/h in the case of the smooth wheel having 2 m ± 1 per cent in diameter;
 2.5.3.
 successive speed increments: 10 km/h;
 2.5.4.
 duration of test at each speed step except the last: 10 minutes;
 2.5.5.
 duration of test at last speed step: 20 minutes;
 2.5.6.
 maximum test speed: prescribed maximum speed for the type of tyre, less 10 km/h in the case of the smooth wheel having 1,7 m ± 1 per cent in diameter or equal to the prescribed maximum speed in the case of the smooth wheel having 2 m ± 1 per cent in diameter;
 2.5.7.
 however, for tyres suitable for maximum speed of 300 km/h (speed symbol ‘Y’), the duration of the test is 20 minutes at the initial test speed step and 10 minutes at the last speed step.
 2.6.
 The procedure for the second test (see paragraph 6.2.1.1.), to assess the performance of a tyre suitable for speeds in excess of 300 km/h, shall be as follows:
 2.6.1.
 apply to the test axle a load equal to 80 per cent of the maximum load rating associated with the maximum speed specified by the tyre manufacturer (see paragraph 4.1.15. of this Regulation).
 2.6.2.
 The test shall be run without interruptions in accordance with the following:
 2.6.2.1.
 ten minutes to build up from zero to the maximum speed specified by the tyre manufacturer (see paragraph 4.1.15. of this Regulation).
 2.6.2.2.
 Five minutes at the maximum test speed.
 3. PROCEDURE TO ASSES THE ‘FLAT TYRE RUNNING MODE’ OF ‘RUN FLAT SYSTEM’
 3.1.
 Mount a new tyre on the test rim specified by the manufacturer pursuant to paragraphs 4.1.12. and 4.1.15. of this Regulation.
 3.2.
 Carry out the procedure as detailed in paragraphs 1.2. to 1.5. above with a test room temperature at 38 °C ± 3 °C in relation to conditioning the tyre-and-wheel assembly as detailed in paragraph 1.4.
 3.3.
 Remove the valve insert and wait until the tyre deflates completely.
 3.4.
 Mount the tyre-and-wheel assembly to a test axle and press it against the outer surface of a smooth wheel 1,70 m ± 1 per cent or 2.0 m ± 1 per cent in diameter.
 3.5.
 Apply to the test axle a load equal to 65 per cent of the maximum load rating corresponding to the load capacity index of the tyre.
 3.6.
 At the start of the test, measure the deflected section height (Z1).
 3.7.
 During the test the temperature of the test room must be maintained at 38 °C ± 3 °C.
 3.8.
 Carry the test through, without interruption in conformity with the following particulars:
 3.8.1.
 time taken to pass from zero speed to constant test speed: 5 minutes;
 3.8.2.
 test speed: 80 km/h;
 3.8.3.
 duration of test at the test speed: 60 minutes.
 3.9.
 At the end of the test, measure the deflected section height (Z2).
 3.9.1.
 Calculate the change in per cent of the deflected section height compared to the deflected section height at the start of the test as ((Z1 – Z2) / Z1) × 100.
 4. EQUIVALENT TEST METHODS
 If a method other than that described in paragraphs 2. and/or 3. above is used, its equivalence must be demonstrated.
 (1) The value of ‘3,2’ in respect of Speed Category ‘Y’ tyres was inadvertently omitted from Supplement 5 to the 02 series of amendments which entered into force on 8 January 1995 and may be considered as a Corrigendum to this Supplement and to have been effective from that same date.

Home Internazionale Regime Patrimoniale: Emirati Arabi Uniti e Germania
 EMIRATI ARABI UNITI E GERMANIA – REGIME PATRIMONIALE: LEGGE APPLICABILE
 Si pone il seguente quesito: con atto del 22.07.2002 un cittadino tedesco, residente ad Amburgo e coniugato (matrimonio contratto in Inghilterra nel 1999) con una cittadina inglese anch’essa residente ad Amburgo, ha acquistato un immobile nel Comune di Servigliano.
 Il cittadino tedesco, oggi residente a Dubai, è intenzionato a vendere al proprio coniuge (cittadina inglese, anch’essa residente a Dubai), la nuda proprietà del suindicato immobile.
 Si chiede se sia corretto indicare che il regime patrimoniale tra i coniugi, vigente al momento dell’acquisto (2002) e ad oggi, sia quello della separazione dei beni.
 Si è al riguardo sottolineato come la concreta individuazione del luogo in cui la vita matrimoniale è prevalentemente localizzata è una questione di fatto che può risultare di difficilissima soluzione, sebbene questo coincida, nella normalità dei casi, con la residenza comune dei coniugi, intesa come residenza effettiva ed abituale (Salerno Cardillo, Regime patrimoniale tra coniugi nel diritto internazionale privato italiano, Collana CNN, Milano, 1998, 20).
 Ciò posto, la disciplina dell’art. 30 della legge 218/1995 non esaurisce la questione, poiché il nostro sistema di diritto internazionale privato contempla anche l’istituto del rinvio (rinvio ad un altro ordinamento che può essere all’ordinamento italiano, c.d. “rinvio indietro”; ovvero ad un terzo ordinamento straniero, c.d. “rinvio oltre”. Cfr. Salerno Cardillo, Regime patrimoniale tra coniugi nel diritto internazionale privato italiano, cit., 14).
 L’art. 13 della legge 218 stabilisce, infatti, che quando “è richiamata la legge straniera, si tiene conto del rinvio operato dal diritto internazionale privato straniero alla legge di un altro Stato: a) se il diritto di tale Stato accetta il rinvio; b) se si tratta di rinvio alla legge italiana”.
 Invero, si deve dare atto della tesi che critica l’applicazione della regola del rinvio in tutti i casi in cui la regola di conflitto sia costituita dal criterio della localizzazione prevalente, poiché altrimenti ne verrebbe frustrata la finalità che è quella di consentire l’applicazione della legge “più adatta” alla fattispecie (Conetti, Rapporti personali fra coniugi, in AA.VV., La riforma del diritto internazionale privato, Napoli, 1997, 1175; Picone, La teoria generale del diritto internazionale privato nella legge italiana di riforma della materia, ibidem, 41 ss.; Mosconi-Campiglio, Diritto internazionale privato e processuale, I, Torino, 2010, 231).
 Se, tuttavia, si dà rilievo al tenore letterale della norma, dovrebbe ritenersi applicabile anche al caso di specie la regola del rinvio di cui all’art. 13 (Viarengo, Rapporti patrimoniali tra coniugi, in Tratt. Preite, Torino, 2011, 797; Munari, Riforma del sistema italiano di diritto internazionale privato, art. 13, in Nuove leggi civ. comm., 1996, 1022).
 In tal senso occorre allora tener conto anche delle norme di diritto internazionale privato dell’ordinamento al quale l’applicazione del criterio di collegamento conduce: nel nostro caso, le norme – o i principi – di diritto internazionale privato che valgono nell’ordinamento tedesco per il momento dell’acquisto considerato che la vita matrimoniale dei coniugi era a tale momento localizzata prevalentemente in Germania, e quelle degli Emirati Arabi Uniti di cui Dubai fa parte per l’atto che si intende oggi stipulare.
 Per ciò che concerne le prime, ai sensi dell’art. 15 delle disposizioni introduttive al codice tedesco, il regime patrimoniale dei coniugi è regolato dalla legge che disciplina gli effetti del matrimonio, salva la possibilità di scelta di una diversa legge (Einführungsgesetz zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuche – Art 15 Güterstand
 1) Die güterrechtlichen Wirkungen der Ehe unterliegen dem bei der Eheschließung für die allgemeinen Wirkungen der Ehe maßgebenden Recht.
 das Recht des Staates, in dem einer von ihnen seinen gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt hat, oder
 La legge regolatrice degli effetti del matrimonio è, ai sensi dell’art. 14 delle disposizioni introduttive al codice tedesco, quella della nazionalità comune dei coniugi o, in mancanza, quella di residenza abituale o quella dello Stato con cui hanno una maggiore connessione (Einführungsgesetz zum Bürgerlichen Gesetzbuche – Art 14 Allgemeine Ehewirkungen
 dem Recht des Staates, mit dem die Ehegatten auf andere Weise gemeinsam am engsten verbunden sind).
 Poiché, quindi, nel caso di specie i coniugi erano entrambi residenti in Germania, i rapporti patrimoniali erano, nel 2002, regolati dalla legge tedesca, la quale prevede, quale regime patrimoniale legale, quello della Zugewinngemeinschaft.
 In base a tale regime, i beni acquistati durante il matrimonio non formano oggetto di un patrimonio comune, ma al momento dello scioglimento di tale regime sorge, in favore di ciascun coniuge ed a carico dell’altro, un diritto di credito ad essere compensato dei guadagni avuti in costanza di matrimonio (art. 1363 Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).
 Ne consegue, quindi, che in base a detto regime i beni acquistati durante il matrimonio formeranno oggetto della titolarità esclusiva del solo coniuge che è intervenuto in atto e che l’ha sottoscritto, il quale potrà poi compiere anche atti di disposizione in maniera autonoma, senza la necessità del consenso dell’altro coniuge.
 L’art. 1365 Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch prevede, tuttavia, la necessità del consenso di entrambi i coniugi qualora uno di essi disponga di tutto il proprio patrimonio o comunque di singoli beni che costruiscano di fatto l’intero patrimonio (cosa che, ad esempio, potrebbe avvenire in caso di unico immobile di proprietà e patrimonio mobiliare modesto; sulla questione, v. Ockl, Prassi e costi dei trasferimenti immobiliari in Germania, in Studi e materiali, Milano, 2006, 675).
 Per ciò che concerne, infine, la disciplina di conflitto dell’Emirato di Dubai, viene in questione il codice civile (Laws of civil transaction) dell’UAE, il quale, nell’ambito delle norme di diritto internazionale privato prevede all’art. 13 che gli effetti personali e patrimoniali del matrimonio sono soggetti alla legge nazionale del marito al momento della celebrazione del matrimonio (“The law of the state of which the husband is a national at the time the marriage is contracted shall apply to the effects or personal status, and the effects with regard to property, resulting from the contracting of the marriage”), che, quindi, rinvia ancora una volta al già visto regime patrimoniale della famiglia previsto dall’ordinamento tedesco.

 „GRANA PADANO”
 NR. CE: IT-PDO-0217-0011-26.7.2006
 IGP ( ) DOP (X)
 1. Denumire
 „GRANA PADANO”
 2. Statul membru sau țara terță
 Italia
 3. Descrierea produsului agricol sau alimentar
 3.1. Tip de produs (anexa III)
 Clasa 1.3 –
 Brânzeturi
 3.2. Descrierea produsului căruia i se aplică denumirea de la punctul 1
 Brânză tare, cu pastă fiartă și maturată lent, produsă pe toată durata anului și consumată ca atare sau pentru ras, produsă cu lapte crud semidegresat, obținut din două mulsuri zilnice și provenind de la vaci a căror alimentație de bază este formată din nutreț verde sau conservat. Este permisă prelucrarea laptelui obținut dintr-un singur muls sau din două mulsuri amestecate. Brânza are formă cilindrică, marginea ușor convexă sau aproape dreaptă, fețe plane, ușor bordate.
 Roata de brânză un diametru de 35-45 cm și o înălțime a marginii externe de 18-25 cm, cu variații în funcție de condițiile tehnice de producție.
 Greutatea: de la 24 la 40 kg; coaja: tare și fină, cu o grosime de 4-8 mm.
 Pasta este tare, cu structură granulată fin, cu fracționare radială în formă de solzi și găurele abia vizibile. Materia grasă reprezintă cel puțin 32 % din substanța uscată. Culoarea cojii este închisă sau galben-aurie naturală, iar culoarea pastei este albă sau galben pai. Pasta are o aromă parfumată și un gust delicat.
 3.3. Materii prime (numai pentru produsele prelucrate)
 Lapte crud de vacă, zer fermentat natural, cheag de vițel.
 Laptele provine de la vaci crescute în aria delimitată la punctul 4.
 3.4. Hrană pentru animale (numai pentru produsele de origine animală)
 Alimentația de bază a vacilor de lapte este alcătuită din nutreț verde sau conservat și este oferită vacilor în lactație, animalelor care nu sunt în lactație, vacilor de peste șapte luni.
 Alimentația vacilor de lapte se bazează pe utilizarea unor alimente obținute prin cultivare în cadrul exploatațiilor sau din teritoriul de producție al „GRANA PADANO DOP”.
 În rația zilnică, cel puțin 50 % din substanța uscată trebuie să fie nutreț cu un raport de nutreț/furaje, față de substanța uscată, de cel puțin 1.
 Cel puțin 75 % din substanța uscată a nutrețului din rația zilnică trebuie să provină din alimente produse pe teritoriul de producție a laptelui.
 Alimentele autorizate sunt enumerate într-o listă pozitivă, care cuprinde:
 —
 nutreț: nutreț proaspăt, fân, paie, nutreț însilozat (neacceptat pentru obținerea brânzei de tip „Trentingrana”);
 —
 materii prime pentru hrana vitelor, grupate pe categorii, acceptate pentru completarea nutrețului: cereale și derivatele acestora, semințe oleaginoase și derivatele acestora, tuberculi și rădăcini și produsele obținute din acestea, nutreț deshidratat, produse derivate ale industriei zahărului, semințe de leguminoase, grăsimi, minerale, aditivi.
 3.5. Etape specifice ale producției care trebuie să se desfășoare în aria geografică delimitată
 Etapele de producție și de maturare trebuie să se desfășoare în aria de producție delimitată la punctul 4.
 3.6. Norme specifice privind felierea, răzuirea, ambalarea etc.
 Operațiunile de răzuire și de ambalare trebuie efectuate în aria de producție delimitată la punctul 4, deoarece brânza rasă proaspătă este un produs foarte sensibil, iar păstrarea caracteristicilor organoleptice ale acesteia presupune ambalarea imediată în condiții prin care să se evite uscarea produsului. Pe de altă parte, ambalarea imediată într-un ambalaj pe care este aplicată denumirea de origine poate garanta mai bine autenticitatea produsului ras care, prin natura sa, este mai dificil de identificat decât o roată întreagă de brânză (astfel cum o confirmă și hotărârea Curții de Justiție din 20 mai 2003).
 Feliile mici produse la tăierea și ambalarea „GRANA PADANO DOP” în bucăți cu greutate variabilă și/sau fixă, în blocuri mici, în cuburi mici, în bucățele etc. pot fi utilizate pentru producția de „GRANA PADANO” ras numai dacă se respectă următoarele condiții: procentul maxim de coajă este de 18 %; este garantată permanent trasabilitatea roților întregi de „GRANA PADANO DOP” din care provin feliile; feliile mici care sunt utilizate ulterior sau sunt transferate dintr-o unitate de producție în alta trebuie triate în funcție de numărul de înregistrare și de luna de producție; transportul feliilor mici este permis doar în cadrul aceleiași exploatații sau în cadrul aceluiași grup de exploatații și doar în interiorul ariei de origine. Este, prin urmare, interzisă comercializarea feliilor mici destinate producției de brânză rasă „GRANA PADANO”.
 3.7. Norme specifice privind etichetarea
 Marca oficială care atestă că produsul îndeplinește criteriile care permit utilizarea denumirii de origine protejată „GRANA PADANO” și care trebuie să apară atât pe roțile întregi, cât și pe toate ambalajele de brânză „GRANA PADANO DOP” în porții și rasă este constituită dintr-un desen rombic pe care sunt scrise cuvintele „GRANA” și „PADANO”, cu litere de tipar majuscule. În colțurile superior și inferior ale rombului cu vârfuri rotunjite sunt scrise inițialele „G” și, respectiv, „P”.
 Benzile de ștanțare care imprimă la rece marca de origine pe roțile de brânză în momentul punerii în forme sunt alcătuite dintr-o serie de romburi punctate care conțin în interior, alternativ, cuvintele „GRANA” și „PADANO” și poartă datele de identificare ale unității de producție și cele referitoare la luna și la anul de producție.
 Este permisă utilizarea benzilor de ștanțare specifice prevăzute pentru tipul de brânză „Trentingrana” doar pentru brânza „GRANA PADANO DOP” produsă în provincia autonomă Trento, cu condiția ca pentru producție să fie utilizat exclusiv lapte provenit de la vaci hrănite cu nutrețuri din care sunt excluse pe toată durata anului nutrețurile însilozate de orice gen. Benzile de ștanțare constau în două rânduri de romburi punctate, peste care este înscris cuvântul „TRENTINO”; în partea centrală, printre formele stilizate ale unor munți, se citește cuvântul „TRENTINO” scris de la stânga la dreapta și de la dreapta la stânga.
 Acțiunea de identificare a originii prin intermediul benzilor de ștanțare este completată prin aplicarea unei etichete de cazeină cu inscripția „GRANA PADANO”, anul de producție și un cod alfanumeric care identifică în mod univoc fiecare roată de brânză în parte.
 Brânza „GRANA PADANO” maturată timp de cel puțin 20 de luni de la formare în cadrul ariei de producție, poate primi calificarea de RISERVA. Faptul că aceasta face parte din categoria „GRANA PADANO RISERVA” este confirmat de un al doilea marcaj la cald aplicat, la solicitarea agenților economici, pe marginea externă a roților, prin metode asemănătoare cu cele prevăzute pentru aplicarea mărcii DOP. Marca respectivă este constituită dintr-un cerc traversat în mijloc de cuvântul „RISERVA”. În partea superioară a cercului sunt scrise cuvântul „OLTRE” (peste) și numărul „20”, iar în partea inferioară este scris cuvântul „MESI” (luni).
 În ceea ce privește produsul ambalat, sunt prevăzute următoarele categorii de produs: „Grana Padano OLTRE 16 MESI” [Grana Padano de peste 16 luni] și „Grana Padano RISERVA”[Grana Padano rezervă].
 Pe ambalajele care conțin brânză încadrată la categoria „GRANA PADANO OLTRE 16 MESI”, logoul GRANA PADANO este însoțit de specificația „OLTRE 16 MESI”, pe un singur rând între două linii paralele.
 Pe ambalajele care conțin brânză încadrată în categoria „GRANA PADANO RISERVA”, pe lângă logoul GRANA PADANO apare și reproducerea marcajului la cald „RISERVA”.
 4. Delimitarea concisă a ariei geografice
 Aria de producție și de răzuire a „GRANA PADANO DOP” corespunde teritoriului următoarelor provincii: Alessandria, Asti, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Torino, Verbania, Vercelli, Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Lecco, Lodi, Mantova – malul stâng al Padului, Milano, Monza, Pavia, Sondrio, Varese, Trento, Padova, Rovigo, Treviso, Veneția, Verona, Vicenza, Bologna – malul drept al râului Reno, Ferrara, Forlì Cesena, Piacenza, Ravenna și Rimini. Aria de producție cuprinde și următoarele comune din provincia Bolzano: Anterivo, Lauregno, Proves, Senale-S. Felice și Trodena.
 5. Legătura cu aria geografică
 5.1. Specificitatea ariei geografice
 Aria de producție a „GRANA PADANO DOP” coincide în mare parte cu regiunea câmpiei Padului, adică aria geografică a cursului Padului caracterizată de terenuri inundabile, aluvionare, de origine fluvioglaciară, plane, bogate în apă, și care se numără printre cele mai fertile din lume și printre cele mai adecvate pentru producția de nutreț.
 Aceste caracteristici pedologice, asociate cu microclima specifică zonei, favorizează producția de porumb, care reprezintă cea mai importantă bază pentru nutrețul oferit vacilor care dau laptele destinat producției de „GRANA PADANO DOP”. Porumbul poate constitui până la 50 % din substanța uscată ingerată.
 Activitatea de defrișare și irigare din zona câmpiei Padului, desfășurată începând cu secolul al XI-lea, a constituit premisa dezvoltării locale a creșterii bovinelor. Disponibilitatea unor cantități semnificative de lapte, care depășeau cu mult cererea zilnică a populației rurale, a stimulat și a făcut necesară prelucrarea laptelui într-o brânză care se putea păstra. Chiar și în prezent, ampla disponibilitate a nutrețurilor locale, mai ales a porumbului, legată de ampla disponibilitate a apei, constituie un element fundamental pentru continuarea activității de creștere a bovinelor și a producției de lapte.
 5.2. Specificitatea produsului
 Specificitatea produsului „GRANA PADANO DOP” este determinată de următoarele elemente:
 —
 dimensiunea și greutatea formei;
 —
 caracteristica morfologică deosebită a pastei, legată de tehnica de producție, caracterizată de o textură granulară, care generează friabilitatea tipică în formă de solzi;
 —
 culoarea albă sau galben-pai a pastei, cu gust delicat și aromă parfumată, datorate în special utilizării ample a porumbului ceros în alimentația vacilor;
 —
 conținutul de apă și grăsime, similar în mare conținutului de proteine;
 —
 nivelul ridicat de descompunere naturală a proteinelor în peptone, peptide și aminoacizi liberi;
 —
 rezistența la maturare prelungită, chiar și peste 20 de luni.
 5.3. Legătura cauzală dintre aria geografică și calitatea sau caracteristicile produsului (pentru DOP) sau o calitate anume, reputația sau alte caracteristici ale produsului (pentru IGP)
 Legătura cauzală dintre „GRANA PADANO DOP” și aria de origine ține de următoarelor elemente:
 —
 potențialul de irigare ridicat al câmpiei Padului și disponibilitatea nutrețurilor, printre care mai ales porumbul ceros, de care se leagă caracteristicile specifice precum culoarea albă sau galben-pai, gustul și aroma pastei evidențiate la punctul 5.2;
 —
 utilizarea nutrețului de porumb – sau porumb ceros – însilozat are drept consecință directă reducerea aportului în alimentația vacilor de lapte al unor compuși cromatici, precum carotene, antocieni, și clorofilă, față de cei din alimentația pe bază de esențe de nutrețuri verzi sau de fân de diverse tipuri. Această alimentație săracă în compuși cromatici este o consecință directă a însilozării porumbului;
 —
 utilizarea laptelui crud, care aduce în cazeificare bacteriile lactice tipice pentru acest teritoriu;
 —
 utilizarea fermenților lactici naturali, care creează o legătură microbiologică neîntreruptă cu aria de producție. Laptele, în formă de lactoser, deci de ferment lactic natural, constituie, pe de o parte, legătura dintre cazeificare și aria de producție și, pe de altă parte, garantează aportul continuu și constant de bacterii lactice tipice ariei de origine, care conferă principalele caracteristici specifice brânzei „GRANA PADANO DOP”.
 Legătura cauzală dintre caracteristicile produsului și aria de origine se datorează și persoanei implicate în producția brânzei, care are întotdeauna o importanță centrală și fundamentală pentru produsul „GRANA PADANO DOP”.
 Chiar și în prezent, prelucrarea laptelui în „GRANA PADANO DOP” este încredințată acestor specialiști brânzari, nu tehnicienilor sau oamenilor de știință.

 Το σπουδαιότερο όμως όλων είναι το ότι καταφέραμε να κάνουμε την υπέρβαση και να «κάτσουμε» σε ένα τραπέζι και να συζητήσουμε χωρίς βαθμούς, χωρίς προελεύσεις, με ισότιμο λόγο και να συνθέτουμε το διαφορετικό, με γνώμονα πάντα το συμφέρον του συναδέλφου.
 Αυτή η συλλογιστική δημιούργησε ενστάσεις μερικές φορές από κάποια μέλη μας, γιατί δυστυχώς τα χρόνια παραμονής μας στις ΕΔ –δυσανάλογα πολλά, σε σχέση με τα χρόνια της πολιτικής ζωής- δεν έχουν επιτρέψει σε πολλούς να αποβάλλουν πλήρως την στρατιωτική λογική συζητήσεων και να αποδεχθούν το δικαίωμα όλων, να έχουν τη δική τους άποψη ακόμη και σε θέματα που αποτελούν «ταμπού». Η διαφορετικότητα όμως των μελών μας αλλά και του ΔΣ είναι –τελικά- η δύναμη της ΑΝΕΑΕΔ.
 Πιστεύω ακράδαντα ότι η ενίσχυση της ΑΝΕΑΕΔ –σε βάθος χρόνου- θα μετατρέψει το ήδη συγκριτικό της πλεονέκτημα σε τακτική υπεροχή, θα μας δώσει τη δυνατότητα η φωνή μας να γίνει περισσότερο ισχυρή και θα αναγκάσει τους πολιτικούς μας ταγούς να ικανοποιήσουν τα δίκαια οικονομικά και θεσμικά αιτήματά μας, έτσι ώστε να αποκτήσουμε τη θέση που μας ανήκει.
 η ΑΝΕΑΕΔ στηρίζεται αποκλειστικά στις συνδρομές των μελών της, μιλήστε για την ΑΝΕΑΕΔ σε γνωστούς σας συναδέλφους και προτρέψτε τους να γίνουν μέλη μας, δηλώστε την επιθυμία σας για να γίνεται τοπικοί εκπρόσωποι της, στο aneaed@gmail.com. Δεν μπορούμε να απαιτούμε εάν δεν συμμετέχουμε, αυτό λέει η λογική, αυτό επιτάσσει η μεθοδολογία ενδυνάμωσης της ΑΝΕΑΕΔ.
