Abstract

The Expert Group for Technical Advice on Organic Production (EGTOP) was requested to advise on the use of several substances with plant protection or fertilising effects in organic production. The Group discussed whether the use of these substances and methods is in line with the objectives and principles of organic production, and whether they should be included in Regulation (EU) 2021/11652. Recommendations with respect to Annex II to Regulation (EU) (EU) 2021/1165: • The present entry for ‘stillage and stillage extract’ should be re-named ‘fermented plant materials such as vinasse or distillers grains’. The proportion of the total nitrogen present in the form of ammonium should be limited to maximum 30 % (by weight). • In the entries for ‘liquid animal excrements’, ‘composted or fermented bio-waste’ and ‘composted or fermented mixture of vegetable matter’, the term ‘fermented’ should be replaced by ‘digested’. • In the entry for ‘products and by-products of animal origin [...] hydrolysed proteins’, a restriction should be added to exclude production with alkalis or acids containing macronutrients (e.g. nitric or phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide or ammonia). • In the entry for ‘hydrolysed proteins of plant origin’, a restriction should be added to exclude production with alkalis or acids containing macronutrients (e.g. nitric or phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide or ammonia).
