Products produced under the national food quality scheme

Draft Order of the Minister for Agriculture of the Republic of Lithuania approving the Rules of the National Food Quality System and repealing certain orders of the Minister for Agriculture

The project integrates and updates the principles agreed with the social partners for voluntary application of the national food quality scheme as defined in Article 16(1)(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the requirements for products produced under the national food quality scheme and for bodies certifying those products. The quality of food products produced in accordance

with the food quality scheme described in the project goes beyond the safety and animal welfare requirements of EU and national legislation and has naturalness, nutrition and environmental aspects due to the use of certain farming or production methods.
