Outlook
Breakthrough for trade between EU and US
And outside the EU/US/CAN?
www.fibl.org
Outlook
85 % of the organic farmers are outside EU/US
Equivalence agreements are needed all over the world
Governments and private standardsetters need to continue cooperation and standards convergence
IFOAM provides to facilitate this process
