Article 24 Techniques authorised for use in the processing of feed products

Only techniques complying with the principles laid down in Chapter II of Regulation (EU) 2018/848, in particular the relevant specific principles applicable to the processing of organic feed laid down in Article 8, with the relevant rules of Chapter III to that Regulation and with the detailed production rules set out in Part V of Annex II thereto and that do not reconstitute properties that are lost in the processing and storage of organic feed, that do not correct the results of negligence in the processing or that otherwise may be misleading as to the true nature of these products are authorised in the processing of feed products in organic production.

Where a Member State considers that a specific technique should be assessed as regards compliance with the principles and rules referred to in paragraph 1 or that certain specific conditions for use of that technique should be included in this Regulation, it may request the Commission to carry out such assessment. For that purpose, it shall notify the Commission and the other Member States of a dossier giving the reasons for such compliance or those specific conditions and shall ensure that the dossier is made publicly available subject to Union and national legislation on data protection.

The Commission shall regularly publish any request referred to in the first subparagraph.

The Commission shall analyse the dossier referred to in paragraph 2. If the analysis conducted by the Commission concludes that the technique described in the dossier complies with the principles and rules referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall amend this Regulation for the purpose of explicitly authorising the technique referred to in the dossier or including its specific conditions for use in this Regulation.

The Commission shall review the authorisation of the techniques for the processing of organic feed, including their description and conditions for use whenever new evidence becomes available or is provided by a Member State.
