We apply the derogations laid down and approved by the control body's standard "Production standards and control measures" applicable to the certification of operators in third countries.
If it is not possible to purchase seed and/or vegetative propagating material grown using the organic production method, it is possible to ask the control organisation for permission to use non-organic seed and/or vegetative propagating material. The authorisation shall be granted:
- for each economic unit separately
- for one season;
- before sowing.
Information on seed authorisations issued and quantities of seed is available on request from the control organisation.
The control organisation may decide to recognise retroactively that the transitional period includes any previous period during which:
1. parcels registered in an official environmental protection or similar programme, provided that the relevant measures guarantee that no products not authorised for use in organic production have been used on these parcels; or
2. the parcels were natural areas or agricultural land that had not been treated with products not authorised for use in organic production.
The period referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may be taken into account if sufficient evidence is provided to the control organisation that the relevant conditions have been met for at least three years.
The farm can be divided into clearly separated units, those using organic methods and those not. In the case of plants, they must be easily distinguishable, and livestock must be of different species. The organic control system is applied to all production units of the operator: physical inspection, documentation to be submitted, reports to be produced and documents to be presented at the time of inspection cover all production units.
