It gives the rules to apply to the Director of the Plant Protection and Inspection Services in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for the authorization as a "Certification and Control Body", and to have a Control Symbol acknowledged. At a first step, it is granted a temporary certification to the applicant, which is given once, and its validity should not exceed 24 months. A permanent certification may subsequently be issued. A Certification and Control Body shall (i) assign a certified organic program for the production and handling of an operator's produce; (ii) permit the operator to use its Control Symbol, through a professional worker only; (iii) provide an annual report of its activities; and (iv) notify about any deviation of a operator from his approved organic program, in the following (1) residues of pesticides in product/produce; (2) use of a substance prohibited for cultivation or production in organic farming; (3) non-permitted use of the uniform organic logo; and (4) marking non-organic produce as an organic one.
