lpv:translated text	"I should like to raise five issues relating to organic farming. The first issue is the labelling of organic products, which means the use of a Community logo for organic products or a national or regional logo, together with information on the place of origin and similar data. The second matter relates to the conditions in which the organic product is produced, the standards applied and the monitoring carried out. It is essential to have a list of substances whose use is permitted in organic agriculture, such as plant protection substances, fertilisers, substances used to improve soil quality, enhancers and substances used in processing. Organic food production takes place in a safe and clean environment that is free from antibiotics, growth hormones and genetically modified organisms. The certification control system should be subject to compulsory accreditation and continuous monitoring. Thirdly, there is the issue of the value of organic food and its promotion. Consumers need to be made aware of the advantages of organic products in order to increase demand. Better marketing and awareness-raising measures are required to increase the consumption of organic products. Fourthly, organic farming meets consumers’ needs and expectations regarding food quality. Organic farming provides an opportunity for farmers to increase their income. It is also an opportunity to strengthen regional and local development, notably in less developed areas. Finally, support for organic farming by means of subsidies for organic farming and support for the creation of a system of appropriate distribution and promotion. This is the weakest link in the relationship between producers and consumers."@en1
