Number of brands to be displayed
Article 7
1. A minimum of five brands shall be displayed. 2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, less than five brands may be displayed provided that the following two conditions are fulfilled: (a) there are fewer brands from the Member State of origin of the proposing organisation for the product or scheme subject of the programme; (b) for duly justified reasons, it has not been possible to organize a multi–product or multi-country programme permitting more brands to be displayed. 3. The fulfilment of the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 shall be duly justified by the proposing organisation and supported by all necessary documents, including evidence that other proposing organisations were contacted and a proposal was made to them by the proposing organisation concerned that they should together establish a multi-product or multi-country programme and reasons why such a programme was not achieved. 4. Where less than five brands are displayed, the rules set out in Article 6 shall apply and the surface area allocated to brands shall be reduced proportionally.
