In German law, the Hop Act (HopfG) serves to implement legal acts under Union law on hop products that are subject to the common market organization .
Regulatory content
Specifically, the Hop Act deals with the implementation of various EU regulations that relate to "the certification, the certification procedure, the control of products not subject to certification, the processing, mixing, treatment and placing on the market" of hop products (Section 1 HopfG) . For this purpose, the Hop Act no longer develops its own, material regulatory horizon, but instead empowers the state governments to issue appropriate statutory ordinances (Section 2 Paragraphs 1–3, Section 4 HopfG). The BMELV made use of the authorizations for statutory ordinances of the federal government (§ 2 Paragraph 4, Paragraph 3 Paragraph 3 HopfG) with the ordinance for the implementation of the Community Hop Law of January 27, 2009 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 152 ).
The regulations on fines set out in § 3 HopfG punish administrative offenses with a fine of up to 25,000 euros .
