EU consultation
2 submissions from 2 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission lists 4 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 2 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.
1 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 1 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

Requirement ® is an organic label in Sweden that is recognised by 99 % of Swedish consumers. We have developed rules and offered certification for organic production since 1985. In several areas, particularly animal welfare, biodiversity, social responsibility, climate, we go beyond the EU Regulation on organic production.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
