San Marino, acknowledged by EU as a member state for organic products

The European Commission has officially equated the San Marino (small Republic existing in the north of Italy) supply chain to that of the other EU member states. It will therefore pass from a third country to a Member State, and its products will be able to adopt the famous green leaf, the official Community logo used for certified organic products. In such a way, farmers and processors working in the organic sector will be able to export their product freely to European Union countries. This decision concludes a long and complex diplomatic process begun in 2017.

The bigger the scandals, the more dramatic the consequences for the countries of origin, which brings about huge shifts in international commodity flows, as import and export figures indicate.
