6. Rules on traditional terms of third countries
4.209
Recital (13) to Commission Regulation (EC) No 607/2009 explains that the
use of traditional terms on third countries' products is allowed provided they
fulfil the same or equivalent conditions to those required from Member States
in order to ensure that consumers are not misled. Furthermore, given that
several third countries do not have the same level of centralised rules as the
community legal system, some requirements for 'representative professional
organisations' of third countries should be laid down to ensure the same
guarantees as those provided for in the Community rules.
