Organic production: traceability, indications on agricultural products and foodstuffs (amend. Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91)

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Danielle AUROI (Greens/EFA, F) making some amendments to the proposal. (Please see the summary of 04/11/03.) The recital on research states that the development of organic farming calls for more resources to be devoted to research. The European Union should provide a financial contribution as large as that for plant biotechnology, at least in connection with: - replacing sulphur and copper; - organic seed production; - optimum rotation in organic farming; - improving weed control materials.�
