The definition of “handle” has been updated per §205.2, and NOP has signaled that most all activity within the supply chain will now require certification oversight: Handle. To sell, process, or package agricultural products, including but not limited to trading, facilitating sale or trade on behalf of a seller or oneself, importing to the United States, exporting for sale in the United States, combining, aggregating, culling, conditioning, treating, packing, containerizing, repackaging, labeling, storing, receiving, or loading. Based on this new definition, as well as the types of certified organic products being handled, the NOP has updated §205.101. #organic #certification #certificationbody #nop #ussa #inspection #regulations #india #organicfarming

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

At BENS Consulting we receive a lot of requests from companies from outside EU/EEA that want to have UFI and PCN for their products. So let me share my article on the Voluntary Poison Centre once again, as the last compliance date (1. 1. 2025) is approaching fast.

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?

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

It's time to add another topic to the grain management. It may be challenging, but it is worth to consider as grain is a precious material nowadays and the actual and future challenges are serious. Add your comments to engage a mutual discussion and additional development!

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.
