No, the Directive / codex whatever has specifically referred to pollen introduced by centrifugation,  I e by extraction .  It seems to me a legal error based on insufficient beekeeper input! 

Also, the definitions of honey in Annex 1, para 2(b) of the Directive 2001/110/EC  at Eur-lev.europa.eu.  do not include melted honey, only comb, chunk, drained, extracted, pressed, filtered - so possibly melted honey is not even recognised as honey!
