Jose Luis Garcia Melgarejo, Director general of CAAE Association, acknowledges the partnership of CAAE and IFOAM EU: 'There have been some decisive moments in the development of organic production. The launch of the European Regulation was one of them. It made visible through a specific denomination all the characteristics defining the organic production method. We are now living in a moment of equal importance as the new CAP can contribute to the recognition of the value that the organic sector means for the society. We thank the IFOAM EU Group for underlining the importance of this moment among its members, and for gathering their opinions in a unique voice in order to make it strong and clear.'
