  4. EU Regulations 2092/91 Application field • Farming products of plant or of animal origin which are not processed • Non-processed farming products of plant and animal origin used for human nutrition • Fodder and mixed fodder for animal feeding and raw materials for fodder • Food preparation

  5. EU Regulations 2092/91 and others… Rules • Indication of the organic method in labelling and advertising (art.5 of EU Reg 2092/91) • Farming Production Standards: cattle raising, and food preparation equal for all operators of the EU (art. 6, 6 bis,7 of EU Reg 2092/91 and EU Reg 1804/99) • Control system (art. 8, 9, 10 of EU Reg 2092/91) • Procedures for the certification and introduction in the EU of organic productions imported from third countries (art.11 of EU Reg 2092/91 and EU Reg 1788/01)

  6. Farming production (EU Reg 2092/91) Reduction, at a minimum level, of the external input Crop techniques which allows the preservation and the soil fertility Wide crop rotations which comprise the cultivation of leguminous crops and green manure Mechanical cultivation Incorporation in the soil of manure and humus Choice of local and naturally resistant cultivar

  7. Farming production (EU Reg 2092/91) Only in case of necessity: Manure and natural organic soil improvements and natural rocks Pest control substances of natural origin (sulphur, copper, extract of plant origin, etc.) Techniques of biological control (beneficial insect, pheromone trap, etc.) FORBIDDEN: mineral manures, pest control substances of chemical synthesis and all weed killing substances

  8. Farm production Other important rules The conversion lasts 2 years for tilled land and vegetables and 3 years for fruit In the first 12 months it is not possible to certify anything Admitted mixed farms No parallel crops (the same organic and conventional cultivar)

  9. Cattle raising (EU Reg 1804/99) Reduced number of animals for surface, taking care of animals health Admitted only open housing and grazing

  10. Feeding with top quality raw materials produced mainly with organic farming methods Animal feed with first quality raw materials above all of organic farming and farm origin During weaning only mother milk (EU Reg 1804/99)

  11. Veterinary medicine (EU Reg 1804/99): Use mostly natural methods, homeopathy phyto therapy etc. Traditional drugs only in case of extreme necessity maximum 2 interventions a year with doubled suspension

  12. Food preparation (EU Reg 2092/91) • It is necessary to grant at least 70% of organic ingredients; the traditional ones are included in a very short list • The respect of short lists of additives and natural aromas which are harmless • Grant the separated processing, identification and traceability of raw materials

  13. Control First visit Surveillance visits • Announced (only some days earlier) • Non announced (10% of the total) Check on the product ANALYSIS (15% Operators, 25% of the stock-farming)

  14. FARMVisit in the starting phase Inspection in all the plots • Comparison with the data reported in the application form • Checking the borders of the plots that are at risk of contamination • Technical and crops information • Verifying the date of the last treatment Hand out of the Journals • Remaining goods (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) Information on the procedures and on the law of referral

  15. Compulsory records FARMVisit in the Starting Phase • Purchased goods Journal • Crops Journal • Sold products Journal (in case of processing of products inside the Farm) • Processing Journal Within the 31st of January Annual Production Program

  16. STOCK-FARMS Visit in the Starting Phase Verify CONFORMITY: • Relationship between livestock and pastures and feces • Indoor areas • Feeding • Veterinary care • Weaning • Prescriptions due to other standards Recordings • Stables ins and outs • Veterinary care

  17. PROCESSING UNITVisit in the Starting Phase Product requirements • % of the organic ingredients and their type • additives and processing aids (restricted positive list) • OGM and their derivatives are forbidden Theprocessing recipe must: guarantee 70% at least of organic ingredients Non-organic ingredients must be necessarily among the ones included in a very restrictive list of ingredients (part C of Annex VI) recognized by the EU as non available on the market on a suitable quantity.

  18. PROCESSING UNITVisit in the Starting Phase Technological Requirements • Separation of the production cycles: IN SPACE: different plants IN TIME: Different timing: only one line used after cleaning • The use of ionizing radiations is forbidden • Follow the prescriptions of eventual other standards

  19. PROCESSING UNITVisit in the Starting Phase Managing Requirements • Separated stocking areas • Clear identification of the raw materials, of the final product and the product in the processing phase • Plots and traceability control Recordings • BOUGHT GOODS (quantity) • SOLD GOODS (quantity) • Processing records • Certification of the raw materials

  20. PROCESSING UNITRecordings Recipe Annual processing program Suppliers list Supplier’s qualification - conformity certificates - analysis check - firm’s check Raw material qualification - certificates and/or labels - recordings in the receiving phase Processing journal Ins and outs of raw materials and of the final products

  21. FARM SurveillancePhase A complete annual visit • Visit to all the plots • Check in the stocking areas • Recordings check • Accountancy check • Check on others farm activities Visit during specific phenologic phases and/or assessment of the productions Check on the products (analysis) • According to an annual analysis plan • In case of specific request of the ICEA Inspector

  22. PROCESSING UNITSurveillance activity A complete annual visit • Visit in the plant • Check in the stocking areas • Recordings check • Check of the ins and outs • Check the certificates of the raw materials • Check the conformity of all the productive sectors certified Visits during specific processing phases Check on the products (analysis) • According to an annual analysis plan • In case of specific request of the ICEA Inspector

  23. STOCK FARMSSurveillance activity A complete annual visit • Visit in the stables • Check in the stocking areas • Feeding check • Check on the veterinary care • Recordings check • Accountancy check Visit during specific production phases Check on the products (analysis) • According to an annual analysis plan • In case of specific request of the ICEA Inspector

  24. STANDARDS Composting of manureReg. 2092/91Does not directly addresses specific requirements for compostingFactory farm manure is forbidden NOP § 205.2 Terms defined Directly addresses with specific requirements for composting such as time and temperatures Compost. The product of a managed process through which microorganisms break down plant and animal materials into more available forms suitable for application to the soil. Compost must be produced through a process that combines plant and animal materials with an initial C:N ratio of between 25:1 and 40:1. Producers using an in-vessel or static aerated pile system must maintain the composting materials at a temperature between 131F and 170F for 3 days. Producers using a windrow system must maintain the composting materials at a temperature between 131 F and 170 F for 15 days, during which time, the materials must be turned a minimum of five times. There are no source restriction on manure

  25. STANDARDS Animal feedReg. 2092/91Access to pasture is complusory although not the only form of feedSome % of the feed can be non organic (max. 25% of the daily ration calculated as percentage on the dry matter) NOP § 205.237 Access to pasture is complusory although not the only form of feed 100% organic feed is required
