Уредба Европске уније о органској производњи
Regulation of the European Union on the organic production

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the European Union Regulation 2018/848 on organic production. Through the application of legal methodology, the author tries to explain the processes and measures prescribed by this regulatory act. At the same time, through the analysis of the text of the Regulation and the processing of current statistical data, the author pays special attention to the interpretation of the rules on organic production. Organic production has an important social role as it provides market demand for specific products intended for human consumption with a high level of biodiversity, conservation of natural resources, and application of high animal welfare standards. In addition to the general rules on organic production, the regulation also contains rules related to the conversion period, the ban on GMOs, and the rules on the production of plants, livestock, etc. Through the interpretation of the mentioned rules and rules related to marking, certification, and official control, the author tries to inform the wider professional public about the necessity of harmonising domestic legislation with the legislation of the European Union in the field of organic production. Finally, he concludes that by transposing the solutions contained in the Regulation in question, the Republic of Serbia would be able to approach unique European standards in the fields of organic production and rural development.
