text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 09. 01. 1998 COM(97) 747 final 96/0205 (CNS) Amended proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) supplementing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs to include livestock production (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) of the EC-Treaty) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM At its sitting of 14 May 1997, the European Parliament delivered its opinion on the Commission proposal contained in doc. COM(96) 366 final. The present amended proposal takes into account the amendments adopted by the European Parliament which the Commission could accept either as such or in principle (amendments 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 19, 21,22, 26, 27, 30, 34, 47, 48,49, 55, 56, 60, 62, 64, 66, 67, 69, 71, 72, 74, 82, 88, 93, 94, 97, 99, 101, 104, 124 and 125; and partially amendments 2, 3, 7, 24, 28, 39, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 52, 53, 58, 59, 63, 68, 76, 81, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89, 91 and 92). For the amendments which were only partially accepted, the present proposal takes only the relevant parts into account. In particular the Commission accepted amendments aiming for a general prohibition of the use of genetically modified organisms and products derived therefrom in the production and processing of organic products. Such prohibition was in line with the views the Commission received on this question from most of the Member States as well as from the directly concerned professional organisations. This general prohibition has been introduced by points 6,13(2b) and (2c), 15(3b) and (3c), 16 and 18 of the proposal. Amendments 97 and 99 have been only accepted by the Commission to the extent that they bring the current provisions of Annex VI in line with the general prohibition laid down in the Articles of the Regulation. Point 30 of the proposal follows up to this engagement. CO Amended proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) supplementing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs to include livestock production COM(96) 366 final of 26 July 1996 In response to the opinion delivered by the European Parliament on the proposal for a Council Regulation supplementing Regulation (EEC) n° 2092/911 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs to include livestock production, and in accordance with Article 189a(2) of the Treaty establishing the European Community, the Commission has decided to amend the aforementioned proposal as follows: 1. Recital 2" is replaced by the following: "Whereas demand for organic agricultural products is rising and whereas consumers are increasingly attracted by such products, as measured in terms of both quantity and interest for the widest possible range of high quality products which offer credible guarantees with regard to the environment by means of transparent production methods. " 2. Recital 6th is replaced by the following: "Whereas, in order to prevent pollution of water by nitrogenous compounds, organic livestock holdings must have appropriate storage capacity and plans for the spreading of solid and liquid livestock effluents to ensure that the quality of the environment is maintained. " 1 OJN°L 198, 22. 7. 91, p. 36 3. The following new recital is added after recital 6 : "Whereas pastoral stockfarming carried out in accordance with the rules of organic farming, is an activity particularly suited to maintaining and exploiting the potential of abandoned areas.

" 5. Recital 8 is replaced by the following: th "Whereas the livestock must be fed on grass, fodder and feedingstuffs produced in accordance with the rules of organic farming. " 6. The following new recital is added after recital 8 : th "Whereas genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products derived therefrom are not compatible with the organic production methods; whereas, in order to maintain consumer confidence in organic production, genetically modified organisms, parts thereof and products derived therefrom must not be used in products labelled as from organic production. " 7. Recital 9th is replaced by the following: "Whereas, under the present circumstances, stockfarmers may experience difficulty in securing supplies of food for organically reared livestock and therefore authorisation should provisionally be granted for a limited number of non organic simple and compound feeds to be used in small quantities. " 8. Recital 10th is replaced by the following: "Whereas, in addition, in order to provide for the basic nutritional requirements of the livestock, certain feed supplements may need to be used and whereas the type and conditions of utilisation of vitamins and certain minerals or organic substances should be specified.

" 23. 3 The third indent is replaced by the following: "Livestock production must ensure the equilibrium of agricultural production systems by providing for the soil's organic matter and nutrient requirements. It can thus contribute towards establishing and maintaining soil-plant, plant- animal and animal-soil interdependence. By utilising renewable natural resources (livestock excrements and effluents, legumes and fodder crops), the mixed-cropping/stockfarming systems and the pasturage systems allow soil fertility to be maintained and improved in the long term and permits the development of sustainable agriculture. " 23. 4 The fifth indent is replaced by the following: "In the choice of breeds or strains account must be taken of production needs and in particular the capacity of these animals to adapt to local conditions, their vitality and the resistance to disease, with preference to be given to indigenous breeds and strains.

Housing must be well ventilated, must sufficiently permit daylight to enter and must afford sufficient comfort for the livestock in line with the specific character of the species, in particular through the provision of suitable facilities and adequate litter or bedding. Specific rules on maximum rearing densities must be set for each species. " 23. 6 The seventh indent is replaced by the following: "These principles covering choice of breeds or stocks, feedingstuffs and living environment should limit animal-health problems so they can be controiied mainly by prevention. If, despite that, an animal is sick, and if it is essential allopathic treatment may be used under veterinary supervision. " 23. 7 The eighth indent is replaced by the following: "Organic stockfarming is a land-related activity. Except where authorised by way of exception, livestock must have access to exercise or free-range area and the number of animals per unit of area must be limited to ensure integrated management of livestock and crop production on the holding, so precluding any form of pollution, in particular of the soil and of surface and ground water. The number of livestock must be closely dependent on the area available for spreading livestock manure and on any other organic manure used so that any adverse effect on the environment can be avoided. The total stocking density of the holding may not exceed two livestock units (LU) per hectare of agricultural area used. Where other organic manure is spread, the total stocking density will be reduced to avoid exceeding a total nitrogen input form manure equivalent to 170 kg N/ha/year of agricultural area used, the amount provided for in Directive 91/676/EEC on nitrates. The coefficients for converting the various categories of animals into livestock units are set out in Annex VII. Where those stocking densities (or quantities of nitrogen spread) are exceeded, a derogation may be granted by the inspection authority or body on condition that the farmer can provide an effluent spreading plan utilising additional areas available on other holdings locally or in the region with which there is co-operation on a regular basis. Such areas must be the subject of formal undertakings by the farmers concerned and no other livestock effluents may be spread thereon. Where there is a risk of significant pollution, the inspection authority or body may lay down maximum densities lower than 2LU/ha of agricultural area used in order to safeguard the environment. " 23. 8 The tenth indent is replaced by the following: "In organic stockfarming reproduction should in principle be natural. Nevertheless artificial insemination is authorised. However, embryo transfers is prohibited. The use of hormones to control ovulation are prohibited, except where veterinary treatment is administered to a individual animal. By way of a derogation, after informing the inspection authority or body, in sheep or goat milking production the synchronisation of oestrus using non injected steroid substances may be used for health reasons relating to the rams or male goats, provided they are used during the normal breeding season of the breed concerned and only in compulsory treatments under relevant legislation/' 23. 9 The eleventh indent is replaced by the following: "Operations such as attaching elastic bands to the tails of sheep, tail-docking, tooth-removal, castration, de-homing, trimming of beaks and wing-clipping of queen bees must not be carried out systematically in organic farming. Some of these operations may, however, be authorised by the inspection authority or bodies for reasons of safety or if they are intended to improve the health, hygiene or welfare of the livestock. Such operation must be carried out by qualified personnel in order to avoid any suffering to the animals. In order to maintain the quality of products and traditional production practises (meat-type pigs, bullocks, capons etc. ) castration is allowed. " 23. 10 The twelfth indent is replace by the following: "Transport of livestock must be carried out so as to limit the stress suffered by the animals, in accordance with the rules in force; and must involve the shortest time possible. Loading and unloading must be carried out with caution and the use of allophatic tranquillisers during the journey is prohibited. National and Community provisions on the subject must be observed in all circumstances. " 23. 11 The thirteenth indent is replaced by: "During the period of leading up to and at the time of slaughter livestock must be handled in such a way that stress is reduced to a minimum. The animais must be identified and dealt with lots separate from other conventionally reared animais, Care must be taken to ensure guarantees of tractability of livestock carcasses and livestock products derived from slaughter, cutting and processing. " 10 24. Section 2, Origin of the animals, in the Annex, point 2, inserting part "II - Livestock and livestock products", is amended as follows: 24. 1 The second paragraph is replaced by the following: "To supplement natural growth and for the renewal of the livestock, a maximum of 10% of the adult bovine or equine livestock and 20% of the adult ovine and caprine livestock, female (nulliparous) animals which have not yet reached adulthood may be brought in from conventional stockfarms per year. " 24. 2 The fourth paragraph is replaced by the following: "By way of a derogation, when the herd and flock is established for the first time and organically reared animals are not available in sufficient numbers, conventionally reared livestock may be brought into organic livestock holdings subject to the following conditions: - pullets for the production of eggs must not be more than 18 weeks old; - chicks for broiler production must be less than three days old at the time when they leave the holding were they were produced; - calves must be less than four weeks old; - buffalo must be less than 12 weeks old; - lambs and kids must be less than four weeks old; - piglets must be reared organically from weaning and must weight less than 20 kg. " 24. 3 The seventh paragraph is replaced by the following: "As regards all livestock obtained from conventional stockfarms, special attention must be paid to animal-health rules, the inspection authority or body being authorised to apply special measures, such as screening tests, depending on the local circumstances and the relevant quarantine period.

Meadows and fodder crops must have undergone a normal conversion period of two years. The inspection authority may, with the approval of the competent authority, decide to extend or reduce that period, depending on how the parcels were used previously. If the conversion takes place for the complete holding for livestock and crop productions simultaneously, the total conversion period shall be reduced to 24 months. " 25. 2 The fourth paragraph is replaced by the following: "If livestock products are to be sold as organic products, the livestock holdings undergoing conversion must comply with the rules laid down in this Annex, in particular as regards feed, animal health and housing, for at least: - 12 months in the case of cattle and equidae for meat production, - six months in the case of small ruminants, swine and poultry for meat production, brought in after they are three days old, - 6 months in the case of animals for milk production, - 10 weeks in the case of egg production.

However, at the end of the conversion periods laid down in section 3, the animals treated may once again be considered as organic, subject to the agreement of the inspection authority or body. " 28. Section 6, Livestock housing, free-range areas and storage facilities for livestock effluents and silage liquor, in the Annex point 2, inserting part "II - Livestock and livestock products" is amended as follows: 15 28. 1 The fourteenth paragraph is replaced by the following: "Wall to wall slatted flooring and total slatted flooring shall be prohibited. Buildings used for livestock must provide each animal with a clean and dry rest area of sufficient size. Generally speaking, the stocking density in buildings shall depend on the species, the breed, the age and the size of the animals. It must also take account of the behavioural needs of the animals, which depend in particular on the size of the group and the animals' sex.

Specific provisions with regard to beekeeping 7. 1 General principles The destruction of bees in the combs as a method associated with the harvesting of beekeeping products is prohibited. Mutilation such as tail-docking, tooth-removal, castration, de-horning, trimming of beaks and wing-clipping of queen bees must not be carried out systematically. Some of these operations may, however, be authorised by the inspection authority or bodies for reasons of safety or if they are intended to improve the health or welfare of the livestock. Such mutilation must be carried out by qualified personnel and any suffering to the animals must be avoided. 7. 2 Origin of livestock Apiaries are to be constituted by multiplication of existing colonies or by acquisition of swarms or hives from beekeepers complying with organic beekeeping rules. By way of a derogation, swarms on their own may be acquired from conventional beekeepers during a transitional period expiring on 31 December 2000, subject to a conversion period. 7. 3 Conversion periods Beekeeping products can only be sold as organic products if the general conditions on feeding, care and housing have been observed for at least one year. The material from which the hives are made must comply with the rules laid down in this Annex. Where swarms on their own are acquired from conventional beekeepers, the conversion period is also one year. 17 7. 4 Eejed Hives must be placed solely in areas where cultivated plants or spontaneous vegetation complying with the rules on organic production are found, in accordance with Article 6 and Annex I. The Member States are to designate regions or areas where organic beekeeping is practicable. A map on an appropriate scale listing the location of hives as provided for in Annex III (2)(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 shall be provided to the inspection authority or body. Where no such areas are identified, the beekeeper must provide the inspection authority or body with justifications and a guarantee, in particular on the basis of suitable analyses, that the areas accessible to his colonies meet the above mentioned conditions. The feeding of colonies is authorised where weather conditions require that sufficient reserves be built up for winter. Feeding must be carried out between the last honey harvest and the colony's period of dormancy. Feeding is normally carried out with organic honey but sugar syrup may be used provided it has been prepared from products complying with the rules on organic production. By way of a derogation, sugar symp and honey from conventional apiaries may be used until 31 December 2000. 7. 5 Disease prevention and veterinary treatment Allopathic treatment must be administered under the responsibility of a veterinarian, the type of product being specified clearly, together with the duration of treatment and the recommended withdrawal period before the products are consumed. This information is to be entered in the livestock records and declared to the inspection body. Livestock treated must be clearly identified, individually in the case of large animals, individually or by batch in the case of poultry and small animals, and by colony in the case of bees. 16 In the specific case of beekeeping, colony health is to be maintained by acting to reduce factors contributing to the development of disease. To that end, the following measures are to be applied: hardy breeds adapted to local conditions are to be chosen; queen bees are to be renewed regularly; equipment is to be cleaned and disinfected at regular intervals; contaminated material is to be destroyed; beeswax is to be renewed regularly; sufficient pollen and honey are to be made available in hives. Where the use of synthetic products proves necessary to eradicate certain transmissible diseases which are likely to destroy colonies, the treatment must be administered as far outside the periods when the queen is laying and honey is harvested as possible. If treatment is to be applied during such a period, the colonies treated must be placed in isolation hives. Subsequently, the conversion period of one year will apply to those hives. 7. 6 Housing and facilities The hives must be made of natural materials presenting no risk of contamination to the environment or the apicultural products. Protective products used must comply with the same conditions. Frames and supers for the harvest may only be protected, in particular from pests, by means of the products listed in Part B of Annex II. All synthetic chemical products are prohibited. The beeswax for new frames must come from production units complying with the rules on organic beekeeping. By way of a derogation, in particular in the case of new installations, conventional beeswax may be authorised by the inspection authority or body in exceptional circumstances where organically produced beeswax is not available on the market.

Komisijas pārstāvis iesniedz komitejai veicamo pasākumu pro- jektu. Atzinumu par projektu komiteja sniedz termiņā, ko priekš- sēdētājs var noteikt atkarībā no jautājuma steidzamības. Atzi- numu sniedz ar balsu vairākumu, kas Līguma 148. panta 2. punktā noteikts attiecībā uz lēmumiem, kuri Padomei jāpieņem pēc Komisijas priekšlikuma. Dalībvalstu pārstāvju balsis komitejā vērtē, kā noteikts minētajā pantā. Priekšsēdētājs nebalso. 3. pants 1. Tiklīdz tarifu griesti sasniegti, Komisija var pieņemt regulu, kas līdz kalendāra gada beigām atjauno trešām valstīm piemērojamos muitas nodokļus attiecībā uz konkrētiem produktiem. 2. Ja divus gadus pēc kārtas kāda nolīguma C pielikumā minēta produkta imports ir bijis mazāks kā 80 % no noteiktās summas, Komisija drīkst pieņemt regulu, kas aptur attiecīgos tarifu gries- tus. Komisija nosaka pasākumus, ko piemēro uzreiz. Ja šie pasākumi tomēr nesaskan ar komitejas atzinumu, Komisija tūlīt par tiem paziņo Padomei. Tādā gadījumā: 3. Komisija var pieņemt regulu, ar kuru uz vēl gadu nosaka tos pašus tarifu griestus, kas bijuši noteikti iepriekšējā gadā, ja uzska- ta, ka vajag atlikt ikgadējo pieaugumu par 5 % no griestu apjoma. a) Komisija var atlikt to pasākumu piemērošanu, par kuriem tā lēmumu, uz laiku, kas nav ilgāks par vienu ir pieņēmusi mēnesi pēc šāda paziņojuma dienas; b) Padome ar kvalificētu balsu vairākumu a) apakšpunktā norā- dītājā laikā var pieņemt citu lēmumu. 3. Komiteja var izskatīt jebkuru jautājumu par tarifu kvotu, tarifu griestu un salīdzināmo daudzumu piemērošanu, ko ierosinājis tās priekšsēdētājs vai nu pēc savas iniciatīvas, vai arī pēc dalībvalsts lūguma. 4. pants Šī regula stājas spēkā nākamajā dienā pēc tās publicēšanas Eiropas Kopienu Oficiālajā Vēstnesī. To piemēro no nolīguma spēkā stāšanās dienas. Minēto datumu publicē Eiropas Kopienu Oficiālajā Vēstnesī. Šī regula uzliek saistības kopumā un ir tieši piemērojama visās dalībvalstīs.
