COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/2047
of 24 October 2022
correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 as regards the recognition of certain control authorities and control bodies for the purpose of importing organic products into the Union
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (1), and in particular Article 48(3) and Article 57(2) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Annex II to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 (2) sets out the list of control authorities and control bodies recognised for the purpose of equivalence and competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries. |
|
(2) |
Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (3) had originally recognised ‘Ecocert SA’ for Bahrain as regards product category D. Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 erroneously left blank the row relating to Bahrain for product category D. That error needs to be corrected. |
|
(3) |
Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 erroneously listed ‘Florida Certified Organic Growers and Consumers, Inc. (FOG), DBA as Quality Certification Services (QCS)’ as a recognised body in Costa Rica for product category A. In addition, the control body had not provided details on the type of products it would like to certify for product category D in Costa Rica, therefore its recognition for that product category was granted erroneously. The relevant entry needs to be corrected. |
|
(4) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 should therefore be corrected accordingly. |
|
(5) |
The geographical scope of the recognition of ‘Ecocert SA’ was erroneously limited. That error relating to Bahrain for product category D should therefore be corrected retroactively from the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325. The recognition of ‘Florida Certified Organic Growers and Consumers, Inc. (FOG), DBA as Quality Certification Services (QCS)’ was erroneously extended to product categories A and D in Costa Rica. That error should therefore be corrected retroactively from the date of application of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Organic Production Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 is corrected in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2022.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 24 October 2022.
For the Commission
The President
Ursula VON DER LEYEN
