If an organization is inter-regional or Community-wide in scope, it must meet these requirements in each of the regions in question. Trade in tobacco shall include the manufacture of tobacco products. Article 2 Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2077/92 applications for recognition made by inter-branch organizations carrying out their activities throughout, or in part of, the territories of several Member States or throughout the Community shall be addressed to the Commission and accompanied by documentation showing - that they pursue a number of the activities listed in Article 3 of that Regulation, - the geographical scope of their activities, - that they have been established under the legislation of a Member State of under Community law, - that they meet the representation requirements indicated in Article 1.

Article 4 For the purposes of application of the second subparagraph of Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2077/92, where a proposed extension is of inter-regional scope the inter-branch organizations concerned must represent, in each of the regions and for each of the branches in question, at least two-thirds of the production and/or trade in question. Article 5 Where an inter-branch organization requests that individuals or groups not belonging to it be required under Articles 9 (7) or 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2077/92 to pay subscriptions, the organization shall provide the Member State or the Commission, as appropriate, with all information needed to determine the subscription amount to be paid.
