                     On 6 September 2018, IOAS an accreditation body in the field of organic production, informed the Commission of its decision to withdraw the accreditation of ‘Bolicert Ltd’ due to the failure of that control body to resolve non-compliances within the maximum number of submission periods allowed under IOAS' assessment procedure. Furthermore, the audit carried out by the Commission at ‘Bolicert Ltd’ in Bolivia in May 2017 revealed shortcomings in the organic production standard and control measures. In view of this situation, the Commission requested ‘Bolicert Ltd’ to provide a valid accreditation certificate and to take adequate measures to address the shortcomings. Taking into account that ‘Bolicert Ltd’ failed to take appropriate and timely remedial action to address the shortcomings and to provide the Commission with a valid accreditation certificate, the Commission has decided, in accordance with Article 12(2)(d), (e) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, to withdrawn ‘Bolicert Ltd’ from the list of control bodies and control authorities for the purpose of equivalence.

                     The Commission has received and examined a request from ‘Ecocert SA’ to amend its specifications. Based on the information received, the Commission has concluded that it is justified to extend the geographical scope of its recognition for product categories A and D to Lebanon, for product category B to Haiti, Moldova and Tanzania, for product category E to Sri Lanka and for product category F to Kenya. In addition, it appears that its recognition for product category C needs to be withdrawn in respect of Brunei, Chile, China, Ecuador, Hong Kong, Honduras, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Morocco, Monaco, Madagascar, Mozambique, Peru, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United States and Vietnam.
                  
               
                     (16)
                  
                  
                     The Commission requested ‘Ekoagros’ to provide additional information on the activities covered in their annual report in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. In particular, ‘Ekoagros’ was requested to provide information on how the non-conformities of the operators taken over from other control bodies in Ukraine have been addressed in accordance with Article 92 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (3). Moreover, Ekoagros was asked to explain how the additional controls for certain products originating in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Russia have been implemented. ‘Ekoagros’ failed to provide satisfactory replies to the Commission. Therefore, the entry of ‘Ekoagros’ for Ukraine in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should be suspended until satisfactory information is provided.
