Protection Consortium Intro

How to obtain the recognition
of a Protection Consortium

Requirements

Protection Consortia are recognized with the emanation of a Ministerial Decree by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies, if:

  • can prove a representativeness of at least 66% of the producers (envisaged by art. 4 of the Ministerial Decree of 12 April 2000);

  • have a Statute compliant with the ministerial prescriptions (representation in the corporate bodies, expression of the vote based on the production of each subject).

 

Application for recognition

To file an application, the constituting/constituted Consortium shall forward an application for recognition to pqai4@politcheagricole.it or sag4@pec.politicheagricole.it (certified e-mail). The application shall be attached with a draft Statute in accordance with law requirements (Ministerial Decree of April 12th, 2000 and subsequent amendments).
The Ministry reviews the draft Statute and transmits observations to the applicant. Observations must be incorporated in the final version of the Statute, which maintains the condition of “draft document” until the ministerial approval.
Following the approval, the Ministry collects the opinion of the Regional Authorities and verifies the representativeness of the Consortium through the previous calendar/production year’ data, made available by the Control Bodies.
Then, the Consortium shall validate through notary services a Deed of Incorporation and adopt the Statute as approved by the Public Administration.
Being achieved the procedure described above, the Consortium has to be recognized by Ministerial Decree.
