In July 2010, a new EU logo for organic products will be
introduced throughout the European Union.
Contrary to the existing EU organic logo, which can be used
voluntarily, the use of the new logo will be compulsory for
all pre-packaged organic products that originate in the 27
Member States.
The new logo will indicate to European consumers that the
organic product has achieved a specified level of quality
that is standard throughout the entire EU. The logo will ensure
that the products it appears on are genuinely organic -
from the farm to the fork.
Three Logo designs were selected from submissions made by
over 3,400 students from all 27 EU Member States. Online voting
is now open until January 31st to decide the winning
logo.
Commenting on the online voting competition, Minister Sargent
said - "The new EU Organic Logo will become a very familiar
sight to Irish and European shoppers. This is a great opportunity
for Irish producers and consumers to decide which logo is
chosen. I would encourage everyone to cast their vote before
the end of the month."
