Olive oil operators: obligation to notify end of movements and strengthen transport documentation

Royal Decree 808/2026 amends the quality standards for olive oils and olive pomace oils (RD 760/2021) to improve the traceability system. It introduces a requirement to notify the system when oil movements end to prevent open records without delivery confirmation and redefines the 'final recipient of the goods' to enhance import controls (Art. 4.3). Furthermore, documentation requirements for bulk transport are strengthened, mandating the inclusion of analysis reports in the computerised system (Art. 4.3).

In 3 key points

  1. Obligation to notify the system of the end of oil movements to guarantee information reliability (art. 4.3)
  2. In bulk transport, goods must be accompanied by a signed analysis report or similar document (art. 4.3)
  3. Entry into force on the day following its publication in the BOE, Art. 4.3 and single final provision (disposición final única)

How it affects those involved

Operators in the olive oil sector must ensure full traceability by notifying both the dispatch and receipt of products to avoid system inconsistencies (Art. 4.3). For bulk transport, the party responsible for documentation will be the holder at the time of dispatch or, for imports from third countries or the EU, the final recipient (Art. 4.3). Competent authorities may use the absence of registered analysis reports as a risk criterion in their control plans (Art. 4.3).
