Article 14 Use of language in the description, presentation and labelling of spirit drinks

The particulars provided for in this Regulation shall be given in one or more official languages of the European Union in such a way that the final consumer can easily understand each of those items of information, unless the consumer is provided with the information by other means.

The terms in italics in Annex II and the geographical indications registered in F1Great Britain's GIs Register shall not be translated on the label nor in the presentation of the spirit drink.

In the case of spirit drinks originating in third countries, use of an official language of the third country in which the spirit drink was produced shall be authorised if the particulars provided for in this Regulation are also given in an official language of the European Union in such a way that the final consumer can easily understand each item.

Without prejudice to paragraph 2, in the case of spirit drinks produced in F2Great Britain and intended for export, the particulars provided for in this Regulation may be repeated in a language other than an official language of the European Union.
