Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Verband Sozialer Wettbewerb eV
Defendant: GLOBUS Handelshof GmbH & Co. KG
Operative part of the order
Article 32(1)(a) of 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, read together with Article 3(52) and (53) and Article 30(1) thereof,
must be interpreted as meaning that the obligation to indicate the code number of the control authority or control body to which the operator that carried out the last production or preparation operation is subject does not extend to advertising leaflets which are geographically separated from the organic products that they promote.
