Dear Sir / Dear Madam,

DG AGRI has, together with the Organic Production Committee, assessed the information in the Organic Farming Information System (OFIS). This has led to the conclusion that in 2023 increased control and reporting measures are necessary  for certain imported products.

The present letter is therefore addressed to the control authorities and control bodies recognised as competent to carry out controls and issue certificates for the purpose of import of equivalent organic products from the third countries for the
