the name and address of the applicant;

(b)

the name and description of the traditional food;

(c)

the detailed composition of the traditional food;

(d)

the country or countries of origin of the traditional food;

documented data demonstrating the history of safe food use in a third country;

(f)

a proposal for the conditions of intended use and for specific labelling requirements, which do not mislead the consumer, or a verifiable justification why those elements are not necessary.
