Recital 25

(25) The Commission should, after examining the information provided by a Member State, adopt a decision on the request for a derogation by that Member State allowing it to make use of the direct registration procedure. When examining the request, the Commission should assess all relevant circumstances, such as the number of existing protected names of products, the number of potentially interested producers and producer groups in the Member State concerned, the size of the population of the Member State concerned, the volume of sales, the manufacturing capacities and the markets for the products in question, and other information that the Member State considers to be relevant as evidence of a low level of interest at national level. It should be possible for the Commission to also use, for example, information gathered via a public consultation, a market survey or analysis, or letters from relevant professional chambers or from any other relevant official instances, to take a decision. The Commission should retain the right to amend or to rescind a decision allowing a Member State to make use of the direct registration procedure, where conditions cease to be met by the Member State concerned. This, for example, would be the case if the number of direct applications submitted by applicants from that Member State were to exceed the original estimate by that Member State in a recurrent manner over time.
