(15)In order to reduce any potential risks that unavailability of the digital label to vulnerable groups can cause, in particular as regards EU fertilising products supplied without packaging to end-users, where all the labelling elements can be provided digitally, economic operators should be responsible for providing the labelling elements to end-users by alternative means, upon request. Potential end-users should have the right, irrespective of a purchase, to receive information by alternative means in order to take an informed decision. Whenever the digital label is temporarily unavailable, the information should be provided by alternative means even without a request. In addition, for products supplied to end-users without packaging and with a digital label only, the labelling information provided in accordance with Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 should also be in a visible place at the point of sale on the premises. That will help to ensure that potential end-users are properly informed and enable them to make an informed purchase. It would also ensure direct access to information relevant for the protection of human, animal and plant health and the environment, such as information on the content of nitrogen required for the implementation of the national rules transposing Council Directive 91/676/EEC.
