Part B of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 is amended as follows:

Point 4.8 is replaced by the following:

‘By way of derogation from paragraph 4.2, the use of a limited proportion of conventional feedingstuffs of agricultural origin is authorised where farmers can show to the satisfaction of the inspection body or authority of the Member State that they are unable to obtain feed exclusively from organic production.

The maximum percentage of conventional feedingstuffs authorised per period of 12 months is:

  1. (a)

    for herbivores: 5 % during the period from 25 August 2005 to 31 December 2007;

  2. (b)

    for other species:

    • 15 % during the period from 25 August 2005 to 31 December 2007,

    • 10 % during the period from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009,

    • 5 % during the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2011.

These figures shall be calculated annually as a percentage of the dry matter of feedingstuffs from agricultural origin. The maximum percentage authorised of conventional feedingstuffs in the daily ration, except during the period each year when the animals are under transhumance, must be 25 % calculated as a percentage of the dry matter.’
