Stringent production standards prescribed by organic farming must be complied with. The control system accompanying the entire production process and trade is risk-based. The legislation ties in with the basic guidelines of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), encompassing about 750 associations from over 100 countries. In addition, a Regulation laying down detailed rules for implementing imports of organic products from third countries (non-eu countries) has been adopted (Commission Regulation (EC) No 1235/2008). 34 3, 3 4 9

18 PAGE 18 Activities Since the start of the programme, a total of around 1,000 research projects have been supported with a funding volume of some 138 million. In addition, more than 50 measures, including a knowledge transfer and advanced training programme with several hundred one-day and multi-day seminars for representatives of the entire value-added chain, were devised and implemented, while five support guidelines provided support for 1,880 stalls at trade fairs, 157 information and sales promotion projects and more than 570 holdings either in the lead-up to or during their conversion to organic farming. The financial resources of BÖLN are also used to fund an ERA-NET (European Research Area Network) project. ERA-NET activities are designed to strengthen cooperation between national and regional research promotion institutions. Within ERA-NET's CORE Organic (Coordination of European Transnational Research in Organic Food and Farming), transnational research projects on organic farming and organically produced foods are supported and coordinated. 24 partners from 21 European countries are now involved in the research network. Both the composition of this complementary package of measures of BÖLN and the concepts of the individual measures are continually adapted to take account of experiences and the changing conditions. In 2006, in view of the market development that were becoming evident, the programme concentrated on central activities to strengthen the competitive position of German producers and processors. Financial envelope The programme was provided with around 35 million annually for 2002 and 2003, 20 million annually for 2004 to 2006, and 16 million annually respectively for 2007 until Since 2013, 17 million per year have been made available. Under the 2017 budget year, the title has been topped up by 3 million to 20 million. Office The Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food was charged with the implementation and execution of the Scheme. The Office for the Federal Scheme for Organic Farming and Other Forms of Sustainable Agriculture (GS-BÖLN) was set up there for this purpose. 11. "Organic Farming Looking Forwards" strategy Organic farming is a particularly resource-conserving and environmentally friendly type of farming geared towards the sustainability principle. The federal government therefore supports the extension of organic farming in Germany as a full partner of the general farming sector. Consumer demand is rising, as seen in the dynamic market development. German organic producers cannot fully meet this demand. To boost growth in the organic agri-food sector Federal Minister Christian Schmidt initiated the "Organic Farming Looking Forwards" strategy in Objective The strategy objective is intended to help address resource policy challenges in agriculture and identify additional development prospects for farm operators in Germany. The selection of these areas of action is pragmatically orientated around the key question of what can be done, in particular by policy makers at national level, to make it possible in the medium term to achieve the target of "20 % organic farming that is

Therefore the "Organic Farming Looking Forwards" strategy needs to be understood as a governance process aimed at the ongoing optimisation of the general conditions for the organic agri-food sector. 8 " 7 78 # : ) 8 5 P -2 I" 0, #3+ & " 4 8) 8 - #3+ #3+ 39,*3 3 #3+ 39,*3E)93) A
