(1)

By Decision 2009/427/EC (1) the Commission has set up the expert group for technical advice on organic production (‘the group’).

(2)

Article 4(5) of Decision 2009/427/EC lays down that the members of the group are appointed for a 3-year renewable term of office. Experience with the group so far has shown that a period of 3 years is too short to enable the group to fully exert its tasks. Technical advice on organic production has an important role to play in the light of the evolution of the organic sector. The authorisation procedure, including technical advice for the use of agricultural practices and the application of substances, will need to be adapted to forthcoming legislative developments relating to the organic production. It is also necessary to ensure continuity in relation to the work of the group. Therefore, the term of mandate of the group set out in Decision 2009/427/EC should be extended to a 4-year term.

(3)

Decision 2009/427/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
