         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/931
   of 17 June 2015
   amending and correcting Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 laying down detailed rules for implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 as regards the arrangements for imports of organic products from third countries
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 (1), and in particular Article 33(2) and (3) and Article 38(d) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 (2) provides for a period for the control bodies and control authorities to submit their request for recognition for the purpose of compliance in accordance with Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007. As the implementation of the provisions regarding the import of compliant products is still under assessment and the related guidelines, models, questionnaires and the necessary electronic transmission system are still under development, the deadline for the submission of requests by control bodies and control authorities should be extended.

               (2)

               For the sake of simplification and efficiency of the recognition procedure of control bodies and control authorities for the purpose of compliance and equivalence, the representatives of those control bodies or control authorities should be allowed to introduce requests for inclusion in the lists provided for in Articles 3 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 at any time of the year. The annual deadline by which such requests are to be received should therefore be deleted.

               (3)

               Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of third countries whose systems of production and control measures for organic production of agricultural products are recognised as equivalent to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.

               (4)

               According to the information provided by Australia, the relevant competent authority has changed.

               (5)

               According to the information provided by Japan, the name and internet address of several of its control bodies have changed.

               (6)

               On the basis of the information provided by the Republic of Korea, the internet address of the relevant competent authority should be included.

               (7)

               The duration of the inclusion of Tunisia in the list ends on 30 June 2015. Following corrective measures and improvements made by Tunisia as regards its control system, it is appropriate to prolong the inclusion of Tunisia in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 for an unspecified period.

               (8)

               The duration of the inclusion of the United States in the list ends on 30 June 2015. Given that the United States continues to satisfy the conditions laid down in Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, the inclusion should be prolonged for an unspecified period.

               (9)

               Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008 sets out the list of control bodies and control authorities competent to carry out controls and issue certificates in third countries for the purpose of equivalence.

               (10)

               In recent months the Commission received several notifications from Member States concerning high volume shipments of organic goods imported from Ukraine into the Union containing residues of plant protection products that are not allowed in organic farming according to Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 (4). The goods in question had been certified under Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 by ‘Ekolojik Tarim Kontrol Organizasyonu’ (ETKO). Following information received by the Commission from ETKO and an on-the-spot examination of its activities by its accreditation body, serious deficiencies in the checks carried out and a substantial number of non-conformities were documented, which all together indicated a systematic malfunctioning of the control measures applied. It also appeared that ETKO was unable to take adequate corrective measures in respect of the deficiencies reported and in response to the serious infringements observed. In such circumstances the risk exists for the consumer to be misled about the true nature of the products certified by ETKO. Consequently, ETKO should be withdrawn from the list in accordance with points (d), (e) and (f) of the first subparagraph of Article 12(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008.
