With sales of organic goods growing by 30% a year and production expanding dramatically, Members of the European Parliament have supported the creation of a European 'organics logo' which would protect the special nature of organic food. Meeting in March 2007, the European Parliament's Agriculture committee backed a report calling for a European logo for foods containing 95% organic ingredients. It also calls for organic food to be completely free of GMOs - current rules say that 0.9% of the product can be of GMO origin. |
