9.2.3 US and EU Import Procedures 80 The World of Organic Agriculture 2006 Since the US regulation on organic agriculture, the National Organic Program (NOP), came into effect in October 2002 there are two regulations, the US and the EU legislation, which influence strongly the standards of organic production and trade worldwide. From the perspective of the consumer one could say that production and inspection standards of US organic products, EU organic products and organic products from a lot of other parts of the world are equivalent with each other. However, farmers or traders who want to export organic products should already with application for certification know the potential final destination(s) of their products to assure that both production standards and procedures for imported products in the aimed market are met. 9.2.3.1 Importing Goods Into the EU Article 11 of EU Regulation 2092/91 governs market access for organic products in the countries of the EU. It stipulates that organic foods imported into the EU from third countries must have been produced, processed and certified in accordance with equivalent standards. Enforcement is the responsibility of the EU Member States. At the present time there are two ways of authorizing imports into the EU: Access via the list of third countries (Art. 11, paragraphs 1-5): A country or certification body may apply to be added to the list of third countries via its diplomatic representatives in Brussels. In order to be added to this list, the country making the application must already have enacted organic farming legislation and a fully functional system of inspection and monitoring must be in place. In addition, it must provide an attestation of equivalence and other information on organic farming methods. The European Commission decides upon the application based on an assessment of the implemented system. To date the following countries are listed: Argentina, Australia, Costa Rica, Israel, New Zealand and Switzerland. Goods imported from these countries need to be accompanied by a consignment-specific “Certificate of Inspection for Import of Products from Organic Production”. Access via import permit (Art. 11, paragraph 6): For all countries not included on the list of third countries (i.e. the vast majority of imports into the EU). As a rule, certification bodies operating at the international level will assist exporters and importers to put together all the information and evidence needed to accompany the application for an import permit. Requirements vary from one EU country to another, but the following requirements apply generally: An importing company needs to sign an inspection contract with a European certification body. The importer applies for an import permit with the local competent authority. With the application she/he has to provide documentation to prove that the production and certification of the respective products has been equivalent with the EU requirements. Products may not be released into the EU market before an import permit has been issued. Import permits are usually issued for a limited time period. Each consignment needs to be accompanied by a “Certificate of Inspection for Import of Products from Organic Production”. Within the EU all organic products may be freely traded. However, procedures relating to the issue of import permits tend to differ between the EU countries. It is advisable to seek competent advice before trading commences.
