Regulation on specific criteria and conditions for the checks of documentary accounts in the framework of official controls in organic production and the official controls of groups of operators

This regulation establishes specific criteria and conditions for checking documentary accounts and auditing groups of operators within the organic production sector. It aims to ensure that organic certification is reliable and that official controls are conducted consistently across the EU to maintain consumer trust in organic labels.

This affects organic farmers, food producers, and certification bodies. It introduces stricter requirements for record-keeping and the verification of group certifications to prevent fraud in the organic supply chain.
