Recital 44 a (new)
(44a) A second level of quality systems should be created, based on quality labels conferring value added which can be transmitted within the internal market and applied on a voluntary basis. These voluntary quality labels should refer to specific characteristics of the product, the method of production or an aspect of processing. Optional quality labels of this nature for mountain agricultural products have, to date, fulfilled the requirements and should generate value added on the market. Similar measures should apply to the most remote regions.
