Division 2 Elements proving that the agricultural product originates from the defined area

A requirement concerning the identification of the operators is introduced in order to reinforce the control of the origin of ‘Melon du Quercy’. All the obligations concerning declarations, register keeping and product identification are introduced in this chapter.

In order to take into account the specificities of marketing on the retail market and keeping in mind that all Quercy melons are identified individually, it is no longer obligatory to identify the packages. Instead, consumers are provided with information through point-of-sale advertising or on the price tag.
