Vote for the New European Organic Logo
08 Dec. 11:45
From July 2010, the new EU organic logo will be introduced throughout the European Union for organic products. Contrary to the voluntary use of the current European logo, the use of the new logo will be compulsory for all pre-packaged organic products that originate in the 27 Member States.
The new logo will indicate to European consumers that the organic product has achieved a specific level of quality which is standard throughout the entire EU. The logo ensures that the products it appears on are organic – from farm to fork.
The European Commission has shortlisted the 3 most popular out of 3400 designs that students from throughout the EU Member States have submitted to the competition since June 2009. The 3 most dominant designs are now presented in the relevant website, where the European public has the opportunity to participate in the selection of the logo by voting for their favorite one. The on-line voting procedure has started and will remain open until the 31st of January 2010.
