The European Commissions proposal to amend the EU Organic Regulation has so far not taken into account one important issue: the removal of salt from Annex I of the Regulation. We therefore call on the European Parliament and the Council, in the ongoing legislative procedure, to delete salt from Annex I in order to ensure legal certainty for the salt sector and to avoid misleading consumers.

What they argued
K+S Aktiengesellschaft is the leading European salt producer, providing rock salt, vacuum salt and sea salt for consumers. K+S welcomes the European Commissions initiative to update and simplify the EU Organic Regulation 848/2018. A key priority must be to completely remove sea salt and other salts for food and feed from Annex I of the Organic Regulation 2018/848.
K+S welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Revision of benchmark values for free allocation under the EU ETS. K+S raises concerns and strongly recommends to change the proposal and to freeze the benchmarks at the 2025 level as the proposed reduction of the heat and fuel benchmarks is technically not achievable with best available technologies in the potash sector.
