41In the present case, it is common ground that, conceptually, the Turkish translation of the Greek word ‘halloumi’ is ‘hellim’. From that perspective, it cannot be disputed that the average consumer in Cyprus, where both Greek and Turkish are official languages, will understand that the words ‘halloumi’ or ‘hellim’ both refer to the same specialty cheese from Cyprus (see, to that effect, Case T-33/03 Osotspa v OHIM - Distribution & Marketing (Hai) [2005] ECR II-763, paragraph 51, and, with regard to the collective mark Rioja and the mark Riojavina, which was the subject of the application, Case T-138/09 Muñoz Arraiza v OHIM - Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Califícada Rioja (RIOJAVINA) [2010] ECR II-2317, paragraph 52).
