Draft Commission Delegated Regulation amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 as regards the requirements for certain indications on the labelling of olive oil (5 page(s), in English)

This draft Commission delegated regulation amends certain requirements related to the labelling of olive oil.

In particular, it provides clarification in respect of certain optional indications (values of certain physico-chemical parameters that have to be labelled when the acidity is mentioned; harvesting year).

It also clarifies the mention of the harvesting year and introduces a possibility for the EU Member States to make the labelling of the harvesting year compulsory for extra virgin and virgin olive oil, for the domestic production only (*), and as long as other requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 29/2012 are fulfilled (i.e. that all the olive oil in the container comes from that harvest). (*) This obligation is limited to olive oil obtained from olives harvested domestically and intended for their national markets only.
