COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2025/883
of 14 May 2025
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 as regards the recognition of certain third countries and 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 I to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 (2) sets out the list of third countries whose systems of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 (3). In the light of new information received by the Commission since the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325, certain changes should be made to the information concerning certain third countries. |
|
(2) |
Australia has informed the Commission of the change of the name of its competent authority, of the change of the name of the control body ‘ACO Certification Limited’ (AU-BIO-001) and of the voluntary withdrawal of the control body ‘AUS-QUAL Pty Ltd’ (AU-BIO-006). |
|
(3) |
India has informed the Commission that its competent authority has suspended the recognition of the control bodies ‘Sikkim State Organic Certification Agency’ (IN-ORG-028) and ‘Reliable Organic Certification Organisation’ (IN-ORG-033).

|
(4) |
Japan has submitted a request to the Commission to extend the scope of its recognition under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 to live animals and unprocessed animal products as well as to all processed agricultural products for use as food, including wine and alcoholic beverages, with organically grown ingredients that have been grown in Japan, or with organically grown ingredients imported into Japan from the European Union, from third countries whose production methods and control measures have been recognised by Japan as equivalent to those laid down in the Japanese legislation or from third countries through the system of control bodies recognised by Japan as competent to certify operators in those third countries as complying with the organic production rules of Japan. |
|
(5) |
The assessment of the information submitted by Japan concerning its system of production and control measures applicable to the products referred to in recital (4) and the on-the-spot examination carried out by the Commission confirmed that the system of production and control measures of Japan applicable to those products are equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. Consequently, the recognition of the equivalence of the system of production and control measures in Japan should be extended to those products. |
|
(6) |
Japan has also informed the Commission that its competent authority has recognised the control body ‘Tsuruoka City’ (JP-BIO-044), that the control body ‘Japan Organic & Natural Foods Association’ (JP-BIO-005) has changed its name and internet address and that the control bodies ‘Overseas Merchandise Inspection Co., Ltd’ (JP-BIO-009), ‘Organic Farming Promotion Association’ (JP-BIO-010) and ‘Aya town miyazaki, Japan’ (JP-BIO-024) have changed their interned address. |
|
(7) |
The Republic of Korea has informed the Commission that the control bodies ‘KAFCC’ (KR-ORG-006) and ‘The Centre for Environment Friendly Agricultural Products Certification’ (KR-ORG-014) changed their name, that the control body ‘Jayeondeul agri-food certification institute’ (KR-ORG-032) changed its internet address and that the control bodies ‘Konkuk Ecocert Certification Agency’ (KR-ORG-008) and ‘Hankyoung Certification Center Co., Ltd.’ (KR-ORG-036) changed their name and internet address. |

|
(10) |
The United States have also informed the Commission that their competent authority has recognised a new accredited control body ‘Kiwa BCS Costa Rica Limitada’ (US-ORG-070). |
|
(11) |
The United States have also informed the Commission that the control bodies ‘Organic Crop Improvement Association’ (US-ORG-044), ‘CERES’ (US-ORG-062) and ‘Eco-Logica S.A’ (US-ORG-063) have changed their name, that the control body ‘NOFA (US-ORG-036) has changed its name and internet address and that the control bodies ‘Kiwa BCS Öko-Garantie GmbH’ (US-ORG-004), ‘BIOAGRIcert’ (US-ORG-005), ‘Colorado Department of Agriculture’ (US-ORG-007), ‘Control Union Certification’ (US-ORG-008), ‘Georgia Crop Improvement Association, Inc’ (US-ORG-011), ‘Maryland Department of Agriculture (US-ORG-023), ‘Montana Department of Agriculture’ (US-ORG-028), ‘Americert International (OIA North America, LLC)’ (US-ORG-038), ‘Oregon Department of Agriculture’ (US-ORG-041), ‘SCS Global Services, Inc.’ (US-ORG-053), ‘Vermont Organic Farmers, LLC’ (US-ORG-057), ‘Washington State Department of Agriculture’ (US-ORG-058) and ‘Yolo County Department of Agriculture’ (US-ORG-059) have changed their internet address. |
|
(12) |
Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 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. Article 2 applied until 31 December 2024. Therefore, the list of control bodies in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 is obsolete and should be deleted. Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 designated the product categories for which the third countries listed therein were recognised, through reference to their description in Annex II to that Regulation. For reasons of clarity, the description of those product categories should be included in Annex I and the references thereto should be adapted throughout that Annex. Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 should therefore be replaced. |
|
(13) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(14) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Organic Production Committee, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2325 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
Annex I is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation. |
|
(2) |
Annex II is deleted. |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 14 May 2025.
