THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1), and in particular Articles 48(3) and 57(2) thereof,

(5)


Japan informed the Commission that the control body ‘Ecocert Japan Limited’ (JP-BIO-006) changed its name and internet address.

South Korea also informed the Commission that its competent authority has withdrawn the recognition of the control body ‘DODAM Eco-Friendly’ (KR-ORG-044).












(7)


Tunisia informed the Commission that the name of its competent authority has been changed.

(9)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/883 (4) deleted Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325. As a consequence, references in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 to that annex and to the subject matter covered by it should be deleted.












(10)


Since the expiry date of the recognition of a third country for the purpose of equivalence under Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 is set out in Regulation (EU) 2018/848, the application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 should be aligned with that expiry date. Consequently, references to that date should also be removed from Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325.












(11)


Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 should therefore be amended accordingly.












(12)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Organic Production Committee,
