applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 1 now refers to a producer group under Article 32 and a recognised producer group under Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, replacing the earlier references to a group of operators under Article 3(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 and a group of producers under Article 95(1) of this Regulation, and it also updates the reference for the protected designation or geographical indication from Article 5(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) No 1151/2012 to Article 46(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, adding a new sentence stating that where a recognised producer group under Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143 exists, the producer group under Article 32 of that Regulation shall not have that right.
Point (c) of paragraph 4 now adds an exception allowing the binding period to extend up to six years where requested by a recognised producer group as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1143, whereas previously the maximum was three years without such an exception.
