Article 6 Right to use the logo
United Kingdom
The right to use the logo shall be granted by the competent authorities in the Member States of production, or by the bodies authorised by them for that purpose.
The right to use the logo shall be granted in respect of each product for which the conditions referred to in Article 5 have been fulfilled, depending on the nature of the product, to operators in one of the following categories:
individual producers or producer organisations or groups;
traders who package the product with the intention of marketing it;
manufacturers of processed products who are established in the territory of their outermost region.
The right to use the logo shall be conferred by the grant of approval in respect of one or more marketing years.
The approval referred to in paragraph 3 shall be granted, on request, to the operators referred to in paragraph 2 who, if need be, have the plant or technical equipment required to produce or manufacture the product in question, in compliance with the conditions referred to in Article 5, and who undertake:
as relevant, to produce, package or manufacture products which meet those conditions;
to keep accounts which will make it possible to monitor, in particular, the production, packaging or manufacture of the product which is eligible for the logo;
to comply with all checks and verifications requested by the competent authorities.
Approval shall be withdrawn where the competent authority establishes that the approved operator has failed to fulfil the conditions relating to the product or an obligation arising from the undertakings provided for in paragraph 4. Withdrawal of approval shall be temporary or permanent depending on the seriousness of the failure established.
