The Organics (Equivalence and Control Bodies Listing) (Amendment) Regulations 2021

These Regulations amend retained Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products (EUR 2007/834) and its implementing regulations Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (EUR 2008/889) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (EUR 2008/1235). Regulation No 1235/2008 implements the rules for imports of organic products from third countries. Currently Annex 1 to the Regulation lists countries and control bodies which comply with UK organic standards, Annex 3 lists countries assessed to have equivalent organic standards, and Annex 4 lists those control bodies assessed to have equivalent organic standards. The Secretary of State has power by regulations to amend each list in certain circumstances.
