Summary: The purpose of this Agreement is to foster trade inlt organically produced agricultural products and foodstuffs between the European Union (EU) and Chile, in accordance with the principles of non-discrimination and reciprocity. Further information: The Council of the European Union encouraged the European Commission in May 2013 to improve the mechanisms to facilitate international trade in organic products and require reciprocity and transparency in any trade agreement. In June 2014, the Council authorised the Commission to negotiate agreements between the European Union and third countries on trade in organic products. On the basis of the Council's negotiating directives, the Commission negotiated with Chile an agreement reciprocally recognising the equivalence of the respective organic production rules and control systems as regards certain products. The agreement aims at fostering trade in organic products between the EU and Chile, achieving a high level of respect of the principle of organic production rules as well as the reciprocal protection of the organic logos. In October 2016, the Commission published a proposal on the signing of an Agreement between the two sides on trade in organic products, followed by a proposal on the conclusion on this Agreement in December 2016. The Decision on the signing was adopted by the Council on 6 March 2017, while the Decision on the conclusion was endorsed on 9 October. |
