Even today, despite the spread of the European organic logo, many French consumers recognize<\/strong> organic products thanks to the presence of this brand on packaging. For this reason, French distributors require the affixing of this mark also for products commissioned and \/ or purchased by Italian manufacturers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AB trademark, in fact, can be used freely and free<\/strong> of charge also by the organic operators of the other member countries of the European Community, provided that the marked products<\/strong> are obtained in compliance with Reg (CE) n. 834\/2007<\/strong> and within the European Community.<\/p>\n

For agricultural and zootechnical productions<\/strong>, there are no requirements other than those imposed by Reg. (CE) n. 834\/2007 and Reg (CE) n. 889\/2008<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Processed products intended for human consumption and feed<\/strong> can boast the brand only if they contain a percentage of organic ingredients greater than 95% (the same condition provided for the use of the EU logo).<\/p>\n

Products of animal origin not yet covered by the European regulation must be obtained in accordance with a specific national regulation “cahier des charges fran\u00e7ais<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

The use of the trademark is also permitted in foods destined for pets<\/strong> (pet food) which must comply with national regulations, provided that they contain at least 95% of raw materials<\/strong> of agricultural origin from organic farming.<\/p>\n

Further information is available on the AgenceBio<\/a> website.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”85px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block title=”CERTIFICATION PROCESS” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” el_class=”iter” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

The certification process is resolved in 1 phase<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Authorization to affix the AB mark can be issued to all products certified Reg (CE) n. 834\/2007<\/strong> which meet the requirements indicated above. To this end, only a documentary check is required, no additional inspections are necessary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The label showing the AB logo<\/strong> (also in the version combined with the bio EU logo) must be sent to the national office contact person: Samanta Rosi Belliere<\/a>, together with Annex 4 of the Regulation using the AB logo.<\/p>\n

The request can also be presented through the ICEA regional offices<\/a><\/strong> at the time of the authorization request pursuant to Reg (CE) n. 834\/2007<\/strong>.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”85px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block title=”DOCUMENTS AND ATTACHMENTS” pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n\n
