🇬🇧 English

This corrigendum corrects an error in Article 1(4) of Directive (EU) 2024/1438. The original text only amended Annex I of the Honey Directive (2001/110/EC) by deleting a subpoint and replacing an indent. The corrected version expands the amendment to explicitly state that both Annexes are modified. It deletes point 2(b)(viii) from Annex I and updates the cross-reference in Annex II to point to the new fourth indent in Annex I point 3. The replacement text for the third indent in point 3 prohibits honey that has been overheated or honey obtained by removing foreign matter in a way that significantly removes pollen. This ensures legal clarity and proper cross-referencing between the annexes of the honey standards directive.
