Organic food: European Parliament votes for stricter rules

The European Parliament adopted on 22 May 2007 the resolution on organic food products which accompanies the detailed - but non-binding - legislative amendments it adopted in late March 2007. On 29 March 2007 MEPs had voted for stricter rules governing organic food products on the basis of a consultation report by Marie-Hélène Aubert (Greens/EFA, FR) drawn up in response to the European Commission's draft legislation revising the rules on organic products.
