during periods of transhumance

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24

(2)

(3)

The organic production rules for livestock laid down in
Annex I, part B to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, which
feeding rules, must be applied to animals
includes
throughout their lives.

One of the basic principles in organic farming is the wide
use of pasturage.

In some Member States, the use of pasturage on organic
land is combined with the traditional grazing system of
transhumance. When animals under transhumance are
moved on foot from one pasture to another, they will
pass through and graze on conventional land, both on
the way in and out of the areas of transhumance and
between the different transhumance grazing pastures.

animals will take up a certain amount of conventional
roughage.

Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the Committee set up
by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,

humance animals may graze on conventional land when
they are being moved on foot from one grazing area to
another. The uptake of conventional feed, in the form of
grass and other vegetation on which the animals graze,
during this period shall not exceed 10 % of the total feed
ration per year. This figure shall be calculated as a
percentage of the dry matter of feedingstuffs from agri-
cultural origin.’

Article 2

(4)

There is a need to ensure that transhumance for organic
livestock can continue, notwithstanding the fact that the

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day
