What the notification says

This draft Commission Regulation amends the basic Organic Regulation (EU) 2018/848 by extending the deadline for the authorisation to use a limited percentage of non-organic protein feed in the nutrition of organic piglets and young organic poultry. Due to severe lack of organic protein feed, the proposed extension of 10 years, i.e. until 31 December 2036, is intended to ensure the smooth functioning of the organic sector.
