THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1201/95 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas in situations where the public authorities require the use of synthetic plant protection products not listed in part B of Annex II on account of the serious threat to the entire production area in a specific zone posed by a disease or pests, the crop products thus obtained may no longer bear an indication referring to organic production methods;
Whereas, however, in view of compliance with the other rules on production in organic farming, the conversion period on completion of which the marketing of products bearing such indication is authorized should, in certain circumstances, be reduced;
Whereas crops of the same variety may not be produced on units managed by the same farmer by both an organic production method and a conventional production method;
Whereas provision should be made for an exception to this rule in cases where certain areas under perennial crops are converted gradually from conventional farming to organic farming;
Whereas exceptions to this rule may also be accepted in certain areas used for agricultural research with a view to the development of organic farming and agreed by the Member States' competent authorities;
Whereas production of seed, vegetative propagating material and transplants is an activity undertaken by specialized operators practising organic production in addition to production of these products by a conventional production method;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Point 1 of Annex I and part A of Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 are hereby amended as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 15th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
