Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products                           and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91(1), and in particular Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(d) thereof,

(5)For the sake of legal certainty, the corrected provisions relating to AGRECO R.F. GÖDERZ GmbH should apply from the date of                              application of Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 508/2012 and the corrected provisions relating to IMO-Control Sertifikasyon                              Tic.
