In the last 15 years, most countries in Europe have launched an organic action plan or a similar
support programme. In some countries, an organic action plan existed only for a certain
period of time (e.g. England), while others have continuously updated their action plans
(e.g. Austria). There are some Member States with an on-going action plan (e.g. Germany)
and others where an action plan was formulated but never implemented (e.g. Portugal). In
2013, there were 24 national organic action plans being implemented in Europe as well as
regional action plans in Belgium, Spain and the UK (see Figure 4.1). Beside their frequency and
duration, the action plans also differ in their nature and in the types of action they promote,
which reflects the different support strategies and developmental stages of the organic
sectors in Europe. Some action plans are less focused on individual support measures, but are
rather a strategic policy document which provides an enabling framework for further actions.
This was the case, for example, in Sweden. The action plan, implemented for the period 2007-
2010, was general in nature and described strategies which could foster the development of
organic farming. The involvement of the Swedish government was primarily to monitor and
evaluate the implementation of the action plan by other stakeholders. Other action plans
are much more detailed and include a list of specific actions. For example, the Irish Organic
Action Plan proposes a large number of specific actions; it defines the roles of the institutions
involved and sets a time frame for each action
