COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2022/2391
of 25 November 2022
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Council of Members of the International Olive Council, as regards the trade standard applying to olive oils and olive-pomace oils
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives, 2015 (the ‘Agreement’) was concluded on behalf of the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2019/848 (1). |
(2) |
Pursuant to Article 7(1) of the Agreement, the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (the ‘Council of Members’) is to take decisions and adopt recommendations for the application of the provisions of the Agreement. |
(3) |
During its 116th session to be held between 28 November and 2 December 2022, the Council of Members is to adopt a decision amending the trade standard applying to olive oils and olive-pomace oils and a decision to update a method of analysis for waxes and fatty acid ethyl esters. |
(4) |
It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on behalf of the Union within the Council of Members, as the decisions to be adopted will be binding on the Union as regards international trade with the other members of the International Olive Council (IOC) and will be capable of decisively influencing the content of Union law, namely on marketing standards concerning olive oil adopted by the Commission pursuant to Article 75 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |
(5) |
The decisions to be adopted by the Council of Members concern the removal of Annex 1 of the trade standard and the simplification of the delta-7-stigmastenol decision trees, as well as the inclusion of revision 3 of the method on the determination of waxes and fatty acid ethyl esters. Those decisions have been extensively discussed between scientific and technical experts on olive oil of the Commission and of the Member States. Those decisions will contribute to the international harmonisation of olive oil standards and will establish a framework which will ensure fair competition in the trading of products of the olive oil sector. Those decisions should therefore be supported. |
(6) |
In case the adoption of those decisions within the Council of Members during its 116th session is postponed, as a result of some Members not being in a position to give their approval, the position to support the adoption of those decisions should be taken on behalf of the Union within the framework of a possible procedure for adoption by the Council of Members by exchange of correspondence, pursuant to Article 10(6) of the Agreement provided that such procedure is initiated before the next regular session of the Council of Members in June 2023. |
(7) |
The revision of the trade standard applying to olive oils and olive pomace oils COI/T.15/NC No 3/Rev. 19 may require technical adaptations to other IOC methods or documents. These technical adaptations should be supported. |
(8) |
In order to preserve the interest of the Union, the Commission should however be allowed to request to postpone the adoption of the decisions amending trade standard or methods to a later session of the Council of Members, if the position to be taken on behalf of the Union is likely to be affected by new scientific or technical information presented before or during the 116th session, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf...
