Organic production, processing and distribution: what rules apply?

In organic farming, one set of regulations applies throughout the European Union. Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and its implementing texts specify all the provisions to be complied with.

Guaranteeing product conformity: what are the control and certification procedures?

All operators are inspected at least once a year by their certification body. Some operators are inspected several times a year, based on the risk analysis carried out without prior notice by their certification body. Operators benefiting from derogations are also subject to specific or reinforced control measures.

The activity of certifying bodies is itself regularly controlled by INAO services.
