17. Calls on the Commission and Member States to support the beekeeping sector by reinforcing import inspections in order to avoid imports of adulterated honey; calls on the Commission to urgently modify the way in which honey is labelled by replacing the designation 'a blend of honey from EU and non-EU countries' with a reference to the country or countries from which the honey used in the production of the final product originates and by listing them in the order corresponding to the ratios used in the final product, expressed as percentages (with the addition of a percentage reference per country in particular products); invites the Commission, furthermore, to amend the Honey Directive with regard to the use of the terms 'honey', 'containing honey' or 'made with honey' in the labelling of processed products or in any graphic or non-graphic element indicating that the product contains honey so that the terms may only be used if at least 50 % of the sugar content of the product originates from honey;
