SINGLE DOCUMENT COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 510/2006 on the protection of geographical indications and designations of origin for agricultural products and foodstuffs ( 2) ‘PAPRIKA ŽITAVA’/‘ŽITAVSKÁ PAPRIKA’ EC No: SK-PDO-0005-01024-10.08.2012 PGI ( ) PDO ( X ) 1. Name ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ The product takes its name from Slovakia's Žitava river valley where it was first grown. Although the area in which the peppers are grown and processed has gradually spread across the Danubian Lowland, the name has been retained and is used to this day. The product used to be called just ‘Paprika Žitava’, but for linguistic and export-related reasons, it also came to be referred to as ‘Žitavská paprika’. Both names continue to be used, whether in a commercial context in accordance with customary usage in the trade, or in everyday language, such as in recipes for meat products and dishes. 2. Member State or Third Country Slovak Republic 3. Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff 3.1. Type of product Class 1.8. Other products of Annex I to the Treaty (spices, etc.) 3.2. Description of product to which the name in (1) applies ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ is a sweet paprika made by grinding the dried fruits of the Capsicum chilli pepper grown in the Danubian Lowland; the fruits are picked intact when ripe and then undergo a special post-harvest treatment process. ( 1 ) OJ L 343, 14.12.2012, p. 1. ( 2 ) OJ L 93, 31.3.2006, p. 12. Replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012. C 247/8 EN Official Journal of the European Union 28.8.2013 ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ gets its characteristic intense colour from the final stage in the grinding process on what is known as the ‘colouring stone’; as pressure is applied, the temperature rises and the oil contained in the seeds is released, which is what imparts the characteristic orange-red colour. O r g a n o l e p t i c c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s Aroma: pleasant vegetable aroma, fresh, with capsicum notes Flavour: distinctly sweet, with no bitterness, reminiscent of fresh capsicums/sweet peppers P h y s i c a l a n d c h e m i c a l c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s Appearance: homogeneous powder, with minimum microparticle content, ground finely enough to completely pass through a sieve with a mesh aperture diameter of 0,5 mm. –1 Colour: bright, orange-red, (pigment at least 3,6 g/kg or 120 ASTA units in the dry matter of the chilli) Dry matter: minimum 90 % Fat content: 9-11 % Ash: not more than 7,00 % Ash insoluble in HCl: not more than 0,70 % Capsaicin in dry matter expressed as percentage by weight: 0,01-0,029 % The paprika may not contain any additives. All the moisture is naturally contained in the intracellular space of the chillies. 3.3. Raw materials (for processed products only) ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ may be produced only from a mixture of the following pepper varieties: Dvorská, Kolora, Kora Zel, Žitavská, Karkulka, Hodonínska sladká vzpriamená, Irokez, Rubin, Czárdás, Kármin and Szegedi 80. All the varieties used in the production of ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ are from the specified geographical area. The mixture used to make the product may contain all or just some of these varieties. Growers declare on their sales contracts that they grow only the pepper varieties in question, and this can be verified from their seed purchases. The quality of the peppers, which are harvested by hand, is checked visually to ensure that the required fruit quality is not impaired. Only fully ripe fruits with a high pigment content are harvested. The harvesting of the ripe fruits begins in September and runs up until the end of October. It is important to prevent any mechanical damage to the fruits during harvesting. Paprika producers regularly monitor and record the quality of the raw materials before, during and after the production process. 3.4. Feed (for products of animal origin only) — 3.5. Specific steps in production that must take place in the identified geographical area The chillies used to produce ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ must be grown, harvested and processed in the geographical area referred to in point 4, so that the origin of the product is guaranteed and the production monitored. The whole production process takes place exclusively in the defined geographical area, involving the following stages: Cultivation Harvesting and post-harvest treatment Drying Grinding 28.8.2013 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 247/9 3.6. Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc. ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ must be prepared for sale and packaged in the geographical area referred to in point 4, so that the origin of the product is guaranteed and the production monitored, and to ensure that, when transported loose, it is not exposed to moisture that might impair its quality and special characteristics. ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ comes in paper, polyethylene, polyester 3 2 and aluminium packaging, with oxygen permeability of less than 10 cm /m .d.0,1MPa and water 2 vapour permeability of less than 10 g/m .d. to maintain the quality and special characteristics of the product during its shelf-life. 3.7. Specific rules concerning labelling Producers who make the product in accordance with the specification may use the name ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ for labelling, promoting and marketing the product. The labels on the product must include the words ‘chránené označenie pôvodu’ (protected designation of origin) or the acronym ‘CHOP’ (PDO) with the associated EU logo. 4. Concise definition of the geographical area The geographical area where ‘Paprika Žitava’/‘Žitavská paprika’ is grown and processed is located in the Danubian Lowland, at the Váh, Hron and Nitra river mouths and in the Little Danube and Žitava river valleys. It is bordered by the Danubian Hills to the east and to the north, by the Little Carpathians to the west and by the river Danube to the south. The area basically covers the Danubian Lowland. 5. Link with the geographical area 5.1. Specificity of the geographical area The Danubian Lowland is the most northerly area where heat-loving fruits, such as sweet peppers and chillies, can be grown cost-effectively. The area enjoys 70 days a year when the temperature tops 25 °C. The areas under cultivation are located at between 150 and 250 metres above sea level and the average temperature from May to September is 17,4 °C. Rainfall is 500-600 mm a year. The climate is char­ acterised by hot and dry summers. The subsoil is made up of Neogene clays, gravels and sands. The fertility of the soil is optimal. Method of cultivation: Regional varieties have been developed by growers on the basis of their know- how and experience accumulated over the years since peppers were first cultivated. As heat-loving plants, peppers have a long vegetation period and die if the temperature drops to – 2 °C. In Slovakia they are sown directly outside or grown from seedlings raised in greenhouses or coldframes and then planted out around the middle of May, 30 cm apart in rows 60 cm apart. In dry years when the soil moisture drops below 55 % the plants are irrigated. Post-harvest handling the chilli peppers are put in mesh bags or perforated crates, which are placed on top of each other and arranged in such a way as to maximise ventilation and prevent damage to the peppers. Post-harvest ripening is extremely important, since for 2-5 weeks after harvesting there are enzymatic processes at work which intensify the colour in the peppers and give them their characteristic flavour and aroma. Drying: The chillies are washed in a rotary drum and sorted on a conveyor belt, to ensure that only clean unblemished peppers go into the next stage of the process. Each pepper is cut in half lengthways. The drying process uses a current of hot air, the temperature of which is reduced as the peppers dry. Correct cutting, drying and storage minimises the risk of mould forming in the product. Grinding: The dried chillies are ground in two stages using a traditional method on a fine-grain rotating millstone. The first-stage millstone has a sieve to sift the ground paprika. The finely ground C 247/10 EN Official Journal of the European Union 28.8.2013 paprika falls through onto a spiralled conveyor, which feeds it into the homogeniser. The paprika that is not finely ground enough is returned back onto the rollers. The paprika then moves onto the second stage from the homogeniser to the ‘colouring stone’, which presses out the pigment-bearing oils to give the optimum colour. To maintain the taste properties and the vitamins B and C content, the stones rotate slowly, so that the temperature does not rise too much. The whole process is completed by sifting the powder through a sieve with a mesh aperture diameter of less than 0,5 mm, ensuring homogeneity.

  • Seismic and Geological Conditions at the Bohunice Npp Site
    XA9952599 SEISMIC AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS AT THE BOHUNICE NPP SITE Emilia Juhasova, Dr., Ing., DrSc. Institute of Construction and Architecture, SAS Dubravska cesta 9, 842 20 Bratislava, SLOVAKIA ABSTRACT The paper brings basic information on geological and seismic characteristics of the site of NPP Jaslovske Bohunice, Slovakia. Western Carpathians and Trnava bay geological properties are briefly introduced. The most important macroseismic data and data obtained from field measurements are analysed. Main features of the expected strong seismic motion are discussed. The attention is devoted to local soil characteristics just under the site of NPP. 1. INTRODUCTION The NPP VI, V2, EBO is located in north-west part of Danubian basin - so called Trnava bay, that is nearly 10 km in south-east direction from the mountains of Small Carpathians and in west direction from the Vali river valley. The Trnava bay territory belongs to the best geologically investigated parts of Slovakia. Many deep boreholes were realised here, together with all supporting seismological investigations. This is connected with prospector works and also with construction of important structures as dams, plants, factories, etc. The mentioned territory of EBO was the subject of intensive geological and seismological investigations during the last decade, v The complex synthesising work of all those investigations was done in the closing document of Institute of the Earth Physics AS in Moscow and C-S Institutes [4]. Due to recommendations of [4] the measurements of the seismic activity of near field of NPP were realised by the help of the very sensitive seismic station network. Thanks to obtained data we have nowadays new useful information about the site behaviour and in this way we can do the additional analyses of the safety degree and the measure of upgrading of NPP structures and technologies.

Mires in the Danubian Lowland (Northern part of the Pannonian Basin) are typically overgrown with common alder (Alnus glutinosa). Similar stands at this location are unfortunately very rare, what is caused by continuous human intervention in landscape and its natural pattern from Early Holocene. Peatland degradation near Pusté Úľany village started in the mid - eighteenth century, what is supported by historical maps. In the previous century a huge peat extraction took place at this specific mire. Despite these anthropogenic changes, there are still some remnants of natural habitats present, mostly dependant on ground water level. Methodology includes historical map’s analysis, digital terrain model and vegetation cover mapping. Actual map of biotopes was completed for the current state of the vegetation cover acquaintance.

The study is based on the revision of herbarium specimens from 25 herbaria and a field survey carried out during 2004-2009. Altogether, 195 sites were documented in the Czech Republic, exclusively in the Moravia region. Recent occurrence was confirmed at only four localities (2% of sites), therefore the status of threat was confirmed ñ the species is critically endangered. In Slovakia, 184 localities of the species were recorded in total; 34 sites were found in period 1975- 1999 and 35 sites were confirmed recently (19% of sites recorded), but only 6 in the Pannonia (3% of sites). The number of localities was stable over the last 35 years, therefore, we re-evaluated the IUCN status of C. hordeistichos in Slovakia. The species is now assessed in the category vulnerable ñ VU. Results of the study are summarised in the maps of historical and actual species distribution.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the statistical aspects of multiannual variability of precipitation at the Hurbanovo station, Slovakia, over 140 years (1872–2011). We compare the long-term variability of annual precipitation for Hurbanovo (Slovakia), Brno (Czech Republic), Vienna (Austria), and Mosonmagyarovar (Hungary) stations using autocorrelation and spectral analysis methods. From the long-term point of view, there is no consistent trend in the annual precipitation; only a multiannual variability has been detected. Consequently we identify changes in the distribution of annual maximum daily precipitation for Hurbanovo during different periods for winter-spring and summer-autumn seasons using histograms, empirical exceedance curves, and frequency curves of daily precipitation.
