8. Under Decision of the Regional Council No 1097 of 31 July 2018, the Regional Council of Veneto has approved the draft provisions for the use of references to the ‘Quality Verified’ quality system in the labelling, presentation or advertising of agricultural products, aquaculture and food and instructed the Directorate for Agri–food— the competent regional organisation — to notify the European Commission, as provided for in Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2015/1535.
The provisions contained in the draft (Annex A to the Decision) focus on the conditions for the use of references to the QV quality system of Regional Law No 12/2001 in relation to agricultural products, aquaculture and food identified by the QV mark, and on the procedures for requesting authorisation from the Regional Council to use such references in the labelling, presentation or advertising of foodstuffs using one or more QV products as ingredients or are obtained from the processing of an unprocessed QV product.
The text, consisting of 7 chapters, specifies:
1. Subject and scope of application;
2. References to legislation;
3. Definitions;
4. Acronyms and abbreviations;
5. Competent regional organisation;
6. Use of references to the QV quality system [diversified provisions are established for the use of references in relation to the products identified in Chapter 1, letters a), b) and c)];
7. Authorisation for the use of the QV references [the following are defined: the procedures for submitting an authorisation request, conducting an inquiry and adopting the authorisation decree and the obligations of users].
9. The draft technical regulation, which is the subject of this notification, has been drawn up on the basis of the following acts of the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies:
a) ‘Criteria for the use of a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication reference in the labelling, presentation or advertising of a composite, prepared or processed product' (applicable to protected designations of origin or to protected geographical indications of agricultural products and foodstuffs);
b) ‘Criteria for the use of a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication reference in the labelling, presentation or advertising of a composite, prepared or processed product’ (applicable to protected designations of origin or to protected geographical indications of wines and geographical indications of spirit drinks).
The Regional Council intends to adopt the provisions for the use of QV references to encourage the opening up of new markets for products of the QV quality system and, at the same time, to ensure correct information on foodstuffs containing QV products or that have been obtained from the processing of QV products, guaranteeing greater consumer protection.
