Whereas plants collected in natural areas which have not undergone treatment with products which are not authorized in organic farming should be regarded as having been obtained according to the organic production method, wherever such collection has  been made in areas and by persons inspected under the provisions of the inspection system provided for in Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91; whereas, therefore, Annexes I and III have to be amended;
