Abstract

The Community may finance, wholly or in part, actions of information and promotion in respect of agricultural products and their method of production and food products, carried out in its territory. However, the actions must not be brand-oriented nor incite to consumption of a product on grounds of its specific origin. Article 2 specifies the actions which may be financed, comprising inter alia: (a) public relations work, promotion and advertising, which in particular draws attention to intrinsic features and advantages of Community products, notably the quality and safety of food, specific production methods, nutritional and health value, labelling, high animal welfare standards and respect for the environment; (b) actions of information notably on the Community systems covering protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), guaranteed traditional specialities (GTSs), organic production, labelling; (c) actions of information on the Community system covering quality wines produced in specified regions (quality wines psr), wines with geographical indication and spirit drinks with geographical indication or reserved traditional indication. For such specific actions, and in compliance with the guidelines referred to in article 5, the professional or interprofessional organizations representing the sectors concerned, shall, in collaboration with an implementing body, draw up an information and promotion programme of a maximum duration of 36 months. In the implementation of the present Regulation the Commission shall be assisted by the Management Committee for Oils and Fats set up under article 37 of Regulation No. 136/66/EEC.
