It is worth recalling that this topic has given rise to much controversy in international fora. Mainly
developing States have taken a very reserved stance on this. In these circumstances, the Commission will
draw upon both the experience gathered with existing certification schemes as well as ongoing conceptual
work within the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO).

A Community initiative should have the potential
for bridging gaps and it should be capable of
counteracting an increasing number of biased or poorly controlled private labelling programmes.
Ecolabelling schemes should be accessible to all operators on a non-discriminatory basis, be adapted to
the needs of small and medium-size enterprises in terms of the costs involved and be fully consistent with
relevant World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules.
