The main topics for discussion have to do with simplifying the legislative framework while securing that standards are safeguarded; improving organic products control systems; enhancing the impact of the new labeling rules, especially the mandatory requirement to use the European logo on all EU-made organic products.
The objective of the Commission is to bolster consumers’ confidence while fostering fair competition between organic producers in the 27-country EU.
