October
13, 2005: “Evaluating inputs for organic farming – a new system”, Brussels
 A
public conference of the Organic Inputs Project was held October 13,
2005 in Brussels..
At the conference, the consortium of the Organic Inputs Evaluation
project presented the conclusions its work, seeking feedback from interested
stakeholders. Conference participants will be feeding into the last
stage of the project, as the final recommendations to the European Commission
are drawn.
In September 2005 the proposals of the Organic Inputs Evaluation project,
to be discussed at the conference, were published. The project consortium
suggests new structures and procedures for the evaluation of inputs,
changes in Article 7 of Regulation 2092/91 EEC and a criteria matrix
for the evaluation of products. In a case study, the criteria matrix
has been tested with two products, hydrolyzed animal proteins and spinosad.
The proposals are contained in four documents:
- ‘Proposed Criteria for Evaluation of Plant Protection Products,
Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners Used in Organic Agriculture’;
- ‘Proposed Criteria Matrix’;
- ‘Case study: Hydrolyzed Animal Proteins’;
- ‘Case study: Spinosad’.
The presentations given at the conference are available at the conference
