On June 28, 2017, the Council and the European Parliament
reached a preliminary agreement on the amendment of EU
Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic
production and labeling. The proposal is intended to improve the
legislation on organic production in order to: (i) remove obstacles
to the sustainable development of organic production in the
European Union; (ii) guarantee fair competition for farmers and
operators and allow the internal market to function more
efficiently; and (iii) maintain or improve consumer confidence in
organic products by strengthening the control system via stricter
checks in the supply chain. Among other changes, the new rules
would extend the scope of the existing organic rules to cover a
wider list of products (e.g., salt, cork, beeswax, maté,
vine leaves, palm hearts) and additional production rules (e.g.,
for deer, rabbits, and poultry), support small farmers by
introducing a new system of group certification, and provide a more
uniform approach on pesticides.
The proposal will be submitted to the European Parliament for a
vote at first reading and to the Council for final adoption. If
approved, the new regulation would be applicable to industry by
July 1, 2020.
