As it is apparent from the regulation (paragraph 3 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 834/2007), governing the
sector of organic production, the legal framework should ensure fair competition and the proper functioning of the
internal market with organic products, as well as maintain and satisfy consumer confidence in products labelled as
organic. The legal framework should further aim at providing conditions under which this sector can progress in line
with production and market development. Detailed rules for the implementation of the regulation are amended by
the Regulation (EC) No. 889/2008 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC)
No. 834/2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products with regard to organic production, labelling
and control, as amended.
