Objective
In the last decades organic agriculture has undergone significant growth and development, and now exhibits organic industries and international trade. There is a large number of different standards, labels and certification bodies, and this is confusing for consumers, traders and the organic farming industry. The EEC reg. 2092/91 may be of high importance for the credibility and harmonisation of organic standards in Europe.The overall objective of this project is to provide recommendations for development of the EU regulation for organic agriculture and for the envisaged European action plan for organic food and farming. Basic ethical values and value differences in organic agriculture will be identified and a procedure for balancing and integrating these values in revisions of the EEC 2092/91 will be developed (WP2). An organic standards database that enables comparison of national and international standards with the EEC 2092/91 will be established, and the exposed differences will be analysed (WP3). These outcomes should help identify trade barriers, provide a better understanding of the ongoing development of organic agriculture and how it can be regulated, enable régionalisation of the organic production and support harmonisation as well as simplification of the EU regulation. The project will also provide specific recommendations on the derogations of the use of conventional feed (WP4) and seed (WP5) in the EU regulation. The availability of organic seeds and propagation materials will be surveyed and information exchange and decision criteria for the seed regime will be developed. The supply and demand of organic feeds and feed additives will be surveyed and evaluation criteria for specific feed and feed additives will be developed. Implementation of the results will be by means of a web-page and workshops in collobaration with the Commission (WP6).
