Where the main characteristic of the processed products is the method of production or manufacturing, consideration shall be given to the specific nature of that method of production or manufacturing. 3. The products must possess special characteristics as products of the Canary Islands; these may cover the conditions, methods and techniques of production or manufacturing and compliance with standards of presentation and packaging. 4. The graphic symbol shall be used solely for products of superior quality. Quality shall be defined by reference to Community regulations or, where none such exist, international standards.
