| An analysis is made of the differences between the EU regulation 2092/91 and se-lected organic standards as well as national governmental rules as part of an EU-funded research project on the revision of this regulation. The results show that many differences have specific justifications, influenced by specific national or regional circumstances or policies. The possible impacts/conflicts of the differences on con-sumer/public perception, trade and on the organic farming principles are explored. Main potentials for harmonisation, simplification and regionalisation of the EU regula-tion for organic food and farming are identified in the following areas: labelling, seeds, fertilising, pest and disease control, wild plants, animal feed, processing,... |

| The key questions which will be addressed in this report are: • Are seed born diseases an important factor that prevents seed companies from producing organic seeds and organic farmers from using them? • Which seed treatments are available in organic farming? Which treatments are or will be acceptable? To which degree are they effective? • Are the thresholds for seed born diseases different among Member States? Can this cause unfair competition among farmers and seed producers? • How did the health status of organic seed change in the last years? The main answers may be synthesized as follows: • Seed born diseases are an important factor influencing seed production and seed use in organic agriculture, but they are not the only obstacle that exists at... |

| The key questions which will be addressed in this report are: • Which variety characteristics are important for organic farming and are they different from conventional farmers demand? • What is an “appropriate“ variety for organic farming? • Is the actual variety offer available to organic farmers satisfactory? Is it different per crops type and/or per geographic area? • How should variety trials be conducted in order to supply the information needed by organic operators? The main answers may be synthesized as follows: Characteristics of varieties to be used in organic farming are partly different from the ones requested in conventional farming. Main differences are related to yield stability, processing properties and root-system development; The... |
