Council Decision (EU) 2025/1213 of 12 June 2025 on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union in the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (IOC) as regards the trade standard for olive oils and olive pomace oils

The position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (the ‘Council of Members’) at its 121st session, to be held in July 2025, or within the framework of a procedure for adoption of decisions by the Council of Members by an exchange of correspondence initiated before its next regular session in November 2025, is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Technical adaptations to other methods or documents of the International Olive Council may be agreed upon by the representatives of the Union in the Council of Members without further decision of the Council if those technical adaptations result from amendments related to the revision of the trade standard for olive oils and olive pomace oils.

Where the position referred to in Article 1 is likely to be affected by new scientific or technical information presented by the Committee of chemistry and standardisation before the 121st session of the Council of Members, the representatives of the Union shall request that the adoption of the decision amending the trade standard for olive oils and olive pomace oils be postponed until the position of the Union is established on the basis of that new information.

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
