The Union shall support the adoption of the following two decisions concerning the organoleptic assessment method for virgin olive oil by the Council of Members of the International Olive Council (IOC) at its 123rd session in June 2026 or by exchange of correspondence to take place before its 124th session: — Revision 3 of document COI/T.20/Doc. No 5 on the ‘Glass for oil tasting’; — Revision 2 of document COI/T.20/Doc. No 6 on the guide for the installation of a taste room.
The representatives of the Union in the Council of Members of the IOC may agree to technical adaptations to other methods or documents of the IOC without further decision of the Council if those technical adaptations result from the revisions to the two documents referred to in Article 1.
Where the position referred to in Article 1 is likely to be affected by new scientific or technical information presented before or during the 123rd session of the Council of Members of the IOC, the representatives of the Union in the Council of Members of the IOC shall request that the adoption of the decisions referred to in Article 1 be postponed until the position of the Union is established on the basis of that new information.
This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
