Derogations from the compulsory labelling system By way of derogation from Article 13(2)(b) and (c) and from Article 13(5)(a)(i) and (ii), an operator or organisation preparing minced beef shall indicate on the label the words ‘prepared (name of the Member State or third country)’, depending on where the meat was prepared, and ‘origin’ where the State or States involved are not the State of preparation. The obligation provided for in Article 13(5)(a)(iii) shall be applicable to such meat as from the date of application of this Regulation. However, such operator or organisation may add to the label of the minced beef:

— one or more of the indications provided for in Article 13, and/or — the date on which the meat was prepared. To ensure conformity with the horizontal rules relating to the labelling in this Section, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 22b to lay down, on the basis of the experience regarding minced meat, rules equivalent to those in the first three paragraphs of this Article for beef trimmings or cut beef.
