Canada and the European Union will soon expand their
acceptance of each other’s organic-standard products.
The deal is scheduled to come into effect at the end of the
month, making trade easier for organic processed products.
They will no longer require a second certification if
certified ingredients are used in their preparation.
A separate certification is costly and time-consuming, say
people engaged in trade.
When the European regulation to bring the deal into effect
is officially published, Canada’s equivalency arrangement will also come into
effect.
