D2 · Dealu Mare spec
onvpv.ro/ro/doc/dealu-mare (2026-09-18): EU protection, amended 2023 (Regulation EU 2023/2535); the spec PDF (1996/2020 consolidation) confirms the southern Subcarpathians Teleajen–Buzău and the 45th parallel. No quotable legal variety list could be extracted: no variety table built.
