For at sikre merværdien og for at opretholde kvaliteten af især modnet skinke, der nyder godt af en beskyttet oprindelsesbetegnelse eller en beskyttet geografisk betegnelse, bør medlemsstaterne have lov til inden for klare rammer at anvende regler for regulering af udbuddet af denne type skinke, forudsat at disse regler støttes af et stort flertal af producenterne heraf og eventuelt af svineproducenter i det geografiske område, der er relevant for denne type skinke.
In order to ensure the added value, and to maintain the quality of, in particular, cured ham benefitting from a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication, Member States should be allowed, subject to strict conditions, to apply rules to regulate the supply of such cured ham, provided that those rules are supported by a large majority of its producers and, where appropriate, by the producers of pigs in the geographical area relating to that ham.
