THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91(1), and in particular Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(d) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008(2) provides for a period for the control bodies and control authorities to submit their request for recognition for the purpose of compliance in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. As the implementation of the provisions regarding the import of compliant products is still under assessment and the related guidelines, models, questionnaires and the necessary electronic transmission system are still under development, the deadline for the submission of requests by control bodies and control authorities should be prolonged.
(2) Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 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 Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.
(3) According to the information provided by Israel, the relevant production standard has been changed and the recognition of one of the previously recognised control bodies has been withdrawn.
(4) According to the information provided by Tunisia, the recognition of one control body, which has stopped its activities due to a merger, has been withdrawn, while the other body involved in the merger has been added to the list of control bodies recognised by Tunisia. The recognition of two other control bodies has been withdrawn.
(5) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence.
(6) The Commission has received and examined requests from control bodies to be included in the list set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, as well as requests to amend the specifications of listed control bodies.
(7) Control bodies in respect of which the subsequent examination of all information received led to the conclusion that they comply with the relevant requirements should be included in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. Specifications of control bodies listed in that Annex in respect of which the examination of all information received led to the conclusion that the relevant requirements are fulfilled should be amended.
(8) The Commission has received information in the form of concise annual reports submitted by 31 March 2013 or 28 February 2014 in accordance with Article 12(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 and by means of communications with control bodies.
(9) According to Article 12(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, the Commission may, in the light of the information received or in the light of the absence of information required, at any time amend the specifications or suspend the entry of a control body in Annex IV to that Regulation. On that basis, specifications of control bodies in respect of which the examination of all information received led to the conclusion that the relevant requirements were no longer respected should be amended.
(10) IMOswiss AG, listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, informed the Commission on 17 June 2014 that it had stopped its activity in China. Furthermore, additional information provided by IMOswiss AG on 7 March 2014 to the annual report 2012 included the statement by the assessment body Swiss Accreditation Service that Brazil and Suriname were not included in its assessment of IMOswiss AG. IMOswiss AG was invited by the Commission to provide another assessment report in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, but it did not reply within the deadline set. Those countries should therefore be removed from the specifications of IMOswiss AG in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 until satisfactory information is provided.
(11) Organic Food Development Center is listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for China. The Commission has requested further information on the annual report of Organic Food Development Center as regards control activities in 2012. In addition, in the light of multiple pesticide residues found in samples of organic products imported into the Union from China, the Commission has requested Organic Food Development Center to take action and apply reinforced control measures in relation to China. The Commission did not receive any reply to those requests within the deadlines set. Organic Food Development Center should therefore be removed from the list in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 until satisfactory information is provided.
(12) According to the information received from IBD Certifications Ltd and Organska Kontrola, listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, their addresses have changed.
(13) IMO Control Private Limited notified the Commission of changes concerning the internet address.
(14) Istituto Mediterraneo di Certificazione s.r.l. (IMC) and CCPB Srl notified to the Commission that the two control bodies have merged their activities since 1 July 2014, that IMC has ceased operations and that CCPB Srl will continue its activities. Istituto Mediterraneo di Certificazione s.r.l. should therefore be withdrawn from the list in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.
(15) According to Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, the Commission may, in certain cases, withdraw a control body, or a reference to a specific product category or to a specific third country in relation to that control body, from the list in Annex IV to that Regulation. On that basis, control bodies for which the examination of all information received led to the conclusion that they do not comply with the relevant requirements should be withdrawn from that list.
(16) Bio Latina Certificadora is listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. Bio Latina Certificadora had been requested by the Commission to supply the results of its investigations on six irregularity cases notified by the Commission, but it did not reply within the deadline set, nor after being reminded. Therefore, the countries and product categories concerned should be withdrawn from the scope of its recognition as set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. Furthermore, Bio Latina Certificadora notified the Commission of changes to its address that should be reflected in its entry in that Annex.
(17) Australian Certified Organic, BCS Öko-Garantie GmbH, Bioagricert S.r.l., Control Union Certifications and Organic agriculture certification Thailand are listed in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for ‘Burma/Myanmar’. In accordance with the recommended name to be used in Union acts, ‘Burma/Myanmar’ should be replaced by ‘Myanmar/Burma’.
(18) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 355/2014(3) lists Bioagricert S.r.l. as a recognised control body for product category A. Since India is listed in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for product categories A and F, Bioagricert S.r.l could not have been recognised for India for those product categories in accordance with Article 10(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008. The recognition for product category A should therefore be deleted. Bioagricert S.r.l. had been invited by the Commission not to certify products falling within product category A on the basis of the erroneous reference to that product category.
(19) Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 829/2014(4) contains an error in relation to the code number for Zambia for the control body Control Union Certifications. That error should be corrected.
(20) Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.
(21) In order to ensure the timely extension of the deadline for the submission of requests for recognition for the purpose of compliance in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication. However, in order to allow the operators to adapt to the amendments made to the lists in Annexes III and IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008, the provisions amending those Annexes should apply only after a reasonable time period.
(22) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the regulatory Committee on organic production,
