The future of organic in Europe: Changes coming to processing and labelling rules New rules on organic farming and production in the EU are set to come into effect at the beginning of 2022. In the second in a series of articles examining the update, legal experts Katia Merten-Lentz, partner at international law firm Keller and Heckman, and Caroline Commandeur, Associate at the same firm, weigh what these new measures will mean for the future of organic food in the bloc. Labelling terms referring to organic production and EU organic logo make it easier for the consumers to identify organic products and ensure organic food meet strict conditions of production and processing, in accordance with EU requirements.
