Organic certification
In order to be able to display the "Produced using organic farming" wording, a foodstuff must meet the conditions set by European regulations, from production through to consumption. These rules lay down conditions for the growing, rearing and production of organic products, whether fruit, vegetable or animal based.
Before any products can be imported from countries outside the European Union, the importer must imperatively obtain an authorisation, in accordance with the rules. This document, which confirms the existence of production and inspection methods equivalent to those required by European regulations, is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture.
