COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 586/2013

of 20 June 2013

amending Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries and derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as regards the date of submission of the annual report

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) contains rules relating to imports of organic products from third countries, and in particular a list of recognised third countries and a list of recognised control bodies and control authorities for the purpose of equivalence. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) contains rules relating to imports of organic products from third countries, and in particular a list of recognised third countries and a list of recognised control bodies and control authorities for the purpose of equivalence.

| (2) | In light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system, it is necessary to amend the content of the list of control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 in order to ensure that information on operators under the control of those control bodies and control authorities is updated. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system, it is necessary to amend the content of the list of control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 in order to ensure that information on operators under the control of those control bodies and control authorities is updated.

| (3) | In the light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system and in view of point 5.1.4 of the Commission Communication entitled EU best practice guidelines for voluntary certification schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (3), which recommends that scheme specifications, including a public summary, be made freely available, for example on a website, and in view of the fact that several control bodies and control authorities listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 publish their organic standard on their websites, it is appropriate to require control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 to publish the production standard and control measures for which they have been recognised on their website and to include the internet website where that information can be found in the content of the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

In the light of the experience gained with the supervision of the equivalence system and in view of point 5.1.4 of the Commission Communication entitled EU best practice guidelines for voluntary certification schemes for agricultural products and foodstuffs (3), which recommends that scheme specifications, including a public summary, be made freely available, for example on a website, and in view of the fact that several control bodies and control authorities listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 publish their organic standard on their websites, it is appropriate to require control bodies and control authorities recognised in accordance with Article 33(3) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 to publish the production standard and control measures for which they have been recognised on their website and to include the internet website where that information can be found in the content of the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities.

| (4) | In order to spread the workload relating to the supervision of recognised third countries and of recognised control bodies and control authorities, it is appropriate to set a deadline for the submission of the annual report of recognised control bodies and control authorities which is different from that for the submission of the annual report of recognised third countries. As a consequence, the date for the submission of complete requests for inclusion in the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities should be advanced by a month as well. |

| (5) | Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 contains a list of third countries whose system of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. In the light of new information received by the Commission from third countries since the last amendment of that Annex, certain changes should be made in the list. |

In the light of new information received by the Commission from third countries since the last amendment of that Annex, certain changes should be made in the list.

| (6) | The authorities of Japan and of the United States have asked the Commission to include new control and certification bodies and have provided the Commission with the necessary guarantees that they meet the conditions referred to Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. |

The authorities of Japan and of the United States have asked the Commission to include new control and certification bodies and have provided the Commission with the necessary guarantees that they meet the conditions referred to Article 8(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.

| (7) | The duration of inclusion of Japan in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 ends on 30 June 2013. Given that Japan continues to satisfy the conditions laid down in Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and in the light of monitoring experience, the inclusion should be prolonged for an unlimited period. |

| (8) | The duration of inclusion of Tunisia in the list set out in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 ends on 30 June 2013. In the light of the monitoring experience, the inclusion should be prolonged until 30 June 2014. |

| (9) | The recognition of Switzerland pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 currently applies to unprocessed agricultural products and processed agricultural products for use as food and feed. The Swiss authorities have submitted a request to the Commission to recognise the equivalence also for organic wine. The examination of the information submitted with that request and subsequent clarifications provided by the Swiss authorities have led to the conclusion that in that country the rules governing production and controls of organic wine are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 of 5 September 2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling and control (4). Consequently, the equivalence recognition of Switzerland as regards processed products for use as food should also apply to organic wine. |

Consequently, the equivalence recognition of Switzerland as regards processed products for use as food should also apply to organic wine.

| (10) | The recognition of the United States pursuant to Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 applies to unprocessed agricultural products and processed agricultural products for use as food and feed or to products that have been imported into the United States. There is a need to clarify that to be recognised as equivalent, the organic products imported into the United States must have undergone processing or packaging in the United States in accordance with US legislation. |

| (11) | Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence. In the light of new information received by the Commission from control bodies and control authorities listed in that Annex, certain changes should be made in the list. |

Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (14) | In order to ensure a smooth transition and to give control bodies and control authorities enough time for the implementation of the amended provisions relating to them, a later date of application should be set for the amendments relating to internet websites, annual reports and the procedure for requesting inclusion in the list of recognised control bodies and control authorities. |
