Recital 22

However, with a view not to disturb the functioning of the single market, such compulsory indication should be limited to their domestic production, obtained from olives harvested on their territory and intended for their national markets only. In order to enable the Commission to monitor the application of such national decision and to review the underlying Union provision, in the light of any relevant evolution in the functioning of the single market, Member States should notify their decision in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1183 ¹¹ .
