At its 111th meeting, the Council decided to adopt an important decision by written procedure. Article 10(6) of the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives 2015 states that « The Council of Members may take decisions by an exchange of correspondence between the Chair and the members without holding a session, provided that no member, excluding those members in arrears, objects to this procedure ».
The decision concerns the guidelines for managing an olive oil tasting panel in the event of a pandemic. In particular, the EU notified the Executive Secretariat of its support for this draft decision and requested it be reviewed at a later date.
The measure, attached hereto, was approved on 17 July 2020.
