Starting on 7 December 2009, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development invites all Europeans to cast their vote in the final stage of the EU organic logo competition. The website {http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/organic/logo/index.htm} will host the online vote where the three final logos will be displayed until 31 January 2010. The new logo aims to enhance consumer protection and promote organic farming. Unlike the current logo, the winning entry will be obligatory for all pre-packaged organic products that derive from the 27 Member States and meet the labelling standards.
