EU - REGULATION EEC NO. 834/2007 OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION

Since the beginning of regulated European Union (EU) organic certification, we serve companies all over the world with a wide range of services including organic certification and the issueance of the Certificate of Inspection (C.O.I.) through TRACES.

The principle of organic agriculture is the sustainable production of food from balanced and fertile soil. The farm has to be managed according to the organic regulations without genetically modified organisms (GMO) and synthetics. During production and processing, the organic and non-organic products must be clearly separated and contamination must be prevented. To reach the organic market, the whole chain of organic production needs to be inspected. Should all requirements be fulfilled, the organic certificate can be issued and the applicable logo can be used on the certified products.

Organic imports from outside the EU into the EU need to be covered by a Certificate of Inspection (COI) through the EU Commission based IT Tool ‘TRACES’. From October 19th 2017,  the now commonly used  Import Transaction Certificate (ITC) cannot be used anymore for import into the European Union.
