Each European Union Member State must submit to the European Commission the names, details and code number of recognised control bodies. You can find certified control bodies by country<\/strong> in the European Commission list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To prevent fraud, CERTISYS\u00ae maintains relationships with other control bodies<\/strong> and the Authorities<\/strong>. Information is circulated between these bodies in Belgium as well as on a European level, between other Authorities and the European Commission thanks, in particular, to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed <\/a>(RASFF).<\/p>\n

There is also a platform for coordinating control bodies on a European level, The European Organic Certifiers Council<\/a> (EOCC) which aims to improveco-operation<\/strong> and share information<\/strong> between bodies.<\/p>\n

Non-certified operators who advertise “Organic” products<\/h2>\n

Like any other sector, Organic products are not free from breaches or even fraud. CERTISYS\u00ae monitors the development of organic products. Its mission<\/strong> is primarily preventative<\/strong>, to avoid fraud. If breaches or fraud do occur, it intervenes and imposes appropriate sanctions.<\/p>\n

The European Organic system is transparent and accessible. It enables all citizens to check if an operator or product claiming to be Organic is actually certified as Organic. It offers a guarantee of credibility and trust.<\/strong> If you are unable to find the name of the operator or their certificate in the CERTISYS\u00ae database<\/a>, it either means that this operator is controlled and certified by another control body or that this operator does not have Organic certification at all.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” css=”.vc_custom_1620394612412{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Search Organic Certified operators<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” css=”.vc_custom_1617283866281{padding-top: 300px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.certisys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/shutterstock_107040215.jpg?id=4250) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1605630039270{padding-bottom: 150px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.certisys.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/bg-3-1.png?id=892) !important;}” el_class=”custom-lastrow”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
