Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Experience gained so far with the application of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 shows a need to clarify the products to which this Regulation applies. Primarily, it should cover agricultural products, including aquaculture products, listed in Annex I to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘the Treaty’). Moreover, it should cover processed agricultural products for use as food or feed because the placing on the market of such products as organic provides a major outlet for agricultural products and ensures visibility to the consumer of the organic nature of the agricultural products from which they are processed. Likewise, this Regulation should cover certain other products which are linked to agricultural products in a similarly close way as processed agricultural products because those other products either constitute a major outlet for agricultural products or form an integral part of the production process. Finally, whole sea salt should be included in the scope of this Regulation becauseprovided that it is produced by applying natural production techniques and iwithout being refined or having anti-caking agents or preservatives added. Its production contributes to the development of rural areas, and thus falls within the objectives of this Regulation. For reasons of clarity, those other products, not listed in Annex I to the Treaty, should be listed in an Annex to this Regulation.

Recital 49
Recital 49
(49) In the absence of specific Union rules on the measures to take when non- authorised substances or products are present in organic products, different approaches have been developed and implemented across the Union. This situation creates uncertainties for operators, control authorities and control bodies. It may also entail a different treatment of operators in the Union and affect consumers'’ confidence in organic products. It is therefore appropriate to lay down clear and uniform provisions to prohibit marketing as organic those products in which any non-authorised products or substances are present beyond given levels. Those levels should be established taking acabove any normal unintended count in particular of Commission Directive 2006/125/EC31 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young childrenamination such as drift from products and substances from other crops. All Member States must adapt to the limits set by the Commission by 2017. __________________ 31 Commission Directive 2006/125/EC of 5 December 2006 on processed cereal-based foods and baby foods for infants and young children (OJ L 339, 6.12.2006, p. 16).
