EU Commission proposes new organic rules
The EU Commission has published a proposal how to revise the regulation of organic production and labelling. The International Federation of Organic Agriculture IFOAM has cautiously welcomed the proposal. It also entails to set the labelling threshold for accidental contamination with GMO at the same 0,9% as for conventional food and feed. So far no specific standards on accidential contamination are set in the rules, leaving room for different interpretations.</p><p><a href="http://europa.eu.int/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/05/1679&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=de">EUROPA - Rapid - Press Releases</a></p><p><p><a href="http://www.saveourseeds.org/downloads/IFOAM_PR211205_RevisonRegualtion.pdf">IFOAM Press Release</a></p><p><p><a href="http://www.foeeurope.org/press/2005/HH_22_Dec_contamination.htm">FoE Europe Press Release</a></p><p>
