Statement of support for Spanish organic producers in their denunciation of a French politician’s statement seeking to pit organic farmers from different countries against one another

IFOAM Organics Europe fully supports Spanish organic producers in their denounciation of a French politician’s statement seeking to pit organic farmers from different countries against one another. 

There is one and only EU organic regulation – this means that an organic product, whether from France, Spain or elsewhere in the EU, will have to undergo the same requirements in terms of production, processing, distribution, imports, control and labeling of organic products. 

Organic means no synthetic pesticides or GMOs in the production process, no synthetic food colouring, and strict and systematic controls carried out by independent organizations at each stage of production.

There is no “true” or “false” organic!
