EU Court of Justice: Parallel importer may not remove PPP batch number 🌱 On 7 December 2023, the EU Court of Justice ('CJEU') handed down its ruling in case C-830/21 between Syngenta Agro GmbH and Agro Trade Handelsgesellschaft mbH with important implications for the labelling of plant protection products (‘PPPs’) within the EU, particularly in the context of parallel imports. In our latest blog, Philippe de Jong and Bart Junior Bollen focus on the CJEU’s findings regarding the responsibility of parallel importers for ensuring the display of the original batch number on the product packaging. #ALTIUS #parallelimporter #ppps #batchnumber #cjeu #plantprotection #iplaw #lifesciences

In the grain industry, ensuring consistent quality and safety is paramount. That's where Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) come in. GMP is a set of guidelines that minimizes risks throughout the grain processing chain, from farm to fork. Here's how GMP safeguards grain quality: Pre-Harvest Practices: GMP emphasizes safe storage and handling of fertilizers, pesticides, and equipment to prevent grain contamination. Harvest & Transportation: Protocols ensure clean harvesting equipment, proper grain handling techniques, and suitable transportation conditions to minimize damage and foreign material introduction. Storage & Processing: GMP dictates proper storage facilities to control moisture, temperature, and prevent pest infestations. Sanitation procedures and equipment maintenance are crucial during processing to eliminate contamination risks. Traceability & Documentation: GMP mandates meticulous recordkeeping, allowing for product traceability throughout the supply chain. This is vital for quality control, recalls, and identifying areas for improvement. Benefits of strong GMP in the grain industry: Enhanced Customer Trust: Consistent, high-quality grains build trust and loyalty with buyers. Reduced Risks & Recalls: Proactive measures minimize contamination risks and potential product recalls. Operational Efficiency: Streamlined procedures and documented processes lead to improved efficiency and reduced waste. Market Access: Adherence to GMP can open doors to new markets with stricter quality regulations. Join our discussion today with Dr. Claus M. Braunbeck from FrigorTec to understand about this topic. #grainhandling #Grainstorage #grainconservation #graincooling #frigortec #grainchat #sontagconsult

In a future where legal frameworks evolve, how might advanced technologies enhance the synergy between importers like Syngenta and Agro Trade Handelsgesellschaft mbH, navigating the balance between personalized branding on plant protection product packaging and the imperative of preserving original manufacturer batch numbers, as mandated by a precedent-setting ECJ ruling on parallel trade and labeling?
Syngenta vs Agro Trade Handelsgesellschaft mbH ⚖ Recent ECJ Ruling on Parallel Trade and Labelling of Plant Protection Products Key Takeaways from the Court's Decision: 📦 Importer's Branding on Packaging: Importers can replace the name and address of the original authorisation holder with their own on plant protection product packaging. 🔢 Maintaining Original Batch Numbers: The ECJ mandates that the original manufacturer’s batch number must remain on the product packaging. Implications for Stakeholders: 🚢 For Importers: This ruling offers an opportunity to strengthen brand visibility and streamline parallel trading processes. However, strict adherence to the original batch numbering is essential. 🏭 For Manufacturers: Maintain robust batch records, as these numbers will continue to be a critical element in product traceability across the EU. 📰 Read the full judgment (provisional text) here: https://lnkd.in/eYWkhqsZ #Agrochemicals #ECJDecision #PlantProtection #TradeCompliance #RegulatoryUpdates #SafetyFirst #AgroIndustry

Beginning March 19, 2024, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP) will implement a new, expanded Organics rule to enhance the integrity of the organics supply chain. While AMS will begin with a phased enforcement approach, importers and customs brokers must be prepared. The NOP Import Certificate is a transaction certificate that contains detailed information about the quantity and origin of the product being imported into the U.S. An NOP Import Certificate from a USDA-accredited Certifier is required for every imported organic agricultural product. If any of your goods are considered marketed and/or labeled as #organic, and if you are unsure how this change impacts your business, our team is here to help. Give us a call. #usda #organic #compliance #aacustomsbrokers

Important Notice: Organic Importer Certification Expansion. The USDA has broadened the definition of a "Handler" to now include any operation that Imports Organic products/ingredients to US. This significant change means that certain activities, previously not under scrutiny, now fall within the regulatory scope and are subject to certification. https://loom.ly/1nu7-n8 #organicproduct #importantnotice #imports #usa
