Marketing of the production outside the producer organisation
Article 12
1. Where the producer organisation so authorises and where this is in compliance with the terms and conditions laid down by the Member State and the producer organisation, the producer members may: (a) sell products directly or outside their holdings to consumers for their personal needs; (b) market by themselves or through another producer organisation designated by their own organisation, quantities of products which are marginal in relation to the volume of marketable production of their organisation of the products concerned; (c) market by themselves or through another producer organisation designated by their own organisation, products which because of their characteristics, are not normally covered by the commercial activities of the producer organisation concerned. 2. The percentage of the production of any producer member marketed outside the producer organisation shall not exceed 25 % in volume or in value. However, Member States may set a lower percentage. Nevertheless, Member States may increase that percentage up to 40 % in case of products covered by Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 ( 8 ) or where producer members market their production through another producer organisation designated by their own producer organisation.
