-Regulation (EU) 2018/848 is the governing framework for EU organic production and the use of the EU organic logo. It replaced the earlier Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 and its main implementing regulation (EC) No 889/2008. The 2018 Regulation came into full force on 1 January 2022 after a transition period. It explicitly includes seaweeds and microalgae within its scope, treating them as aquaculture products (Part III) while simultaneously acknowledging that they are plant-derived commodities for CN/nomenclature purposes — reflecting the genuine regulatory hybridity of algae discussed throughout this wiki.+Regulation (EU) 2018/848 is the governing framework for EU organic production and the use of the EU organic logo.
