Amendment: Transitional period for producer organisations (Reg 2200/96/EC)

This procedure proposes an amendment to existing EU regulations regarding the recognition of producer organisations in the fruit, citrus, and vegetable sectors. It aims to provide a transitional period to ensure these organisations can meet the necessary legal and administrative requirements for official recognition.

This change primarily affects farmers and producer organisations specializing in fruit and vegetables, allowing them more time to align with EU standards to maintain their eligibility for support.
