Abstract

Article 35 of the Council Regulation makes the use of prescribed descriptions and definitions of olive oils and olive-pomace oils (formerly known as olive residue oils) compulsory for the pulses of trade, and prohibits the marketing by retail of certain categories of such oil. These descriptions and definitions are set out in the Annex to the Council Regulation. There are transitional measures permitting the continued use of definitions and descriptions of olive oil and olive-pomace oil in use in Member States and allowing the expression "pure olive oil" to be used for exports of olive oil as defined in point 3 of the Annex to the Council Regulation. In implementation of Article 35 of the Council Regulation, these Regulations: (a) designate the authorities who are to enforce Article 35 of the Council Regulation (reg. 3); (b) prescribe offences and penalties for contravention of Article 35 of the CouncilRegulation, and provide for certain defences (regs. 4 and 6); (c) create powers of entry, inspection and sampling (reg. 5).
