Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The reports of DG SANTE, JRC and OLAF on honey counterfeiting "EU Coordination Action "Out of the Hives" and "EU Coordination Action to Prevent Certain Fraudulent Practices in the Honey Sector - Analysis Results of Imported Honey" highlight that a high percentage of imported honey is suspected of counterfeiting and confirm a number of fraud cases in the honey sector. Therefore, measures and provisions should be taken to limit the possibilities of fraud, facilitate controls and allow better traceability and analysis of the quality and origin of honey. In this context, the proposed mandatory requirements to indicate the countries of origin with their respective percentages on the label should create the conditions for the implementation of a complete traceability system. Access to detailed and complete information on the origin and composition of the honey will make it easier for the honey analysis laboratories to verify the geographical indication on the honey packaging and to detect fraud.
