lpv:translated text	"Seventy per cent of organic products imported are imported under 'import licences'. Controls are carried out on the basis of documents and not by on-site sampling. This procedure is considered fair. It is therefore essential to ensure that organic products put onto the market with the EU-wide organic label should be produced, without exception, in accordance with the principles and conditions set out in Regulation (ΕEC) No 2092/91. This being so, the amendments proposed by the rapporteur improve the conditions and controls of imports of organic products into the ΕU from third countries, so that imports will be more or less the same as domestic products, because the Community regulation setting out the conditions of production of organic products in the countries of the ΕU is much stricter than the Codex Alimentarius. We also agree with the proposed regulation on the production, labelling and importation of organic products. However, we disagree on the point which states that certification may be done by accredited agencies in return for reasonable certification fees. We believe that the public interest cannot be effectively protected by private agencies, even if they are accredited by the corresponding government agencies and spot checked by them. The public interest is effectively protected by government agencies which provide free certification to organic farmers, constituting a free service and development incentive for organic farming."@en1
