Moldova will have its own Ecological Trademark
Moldova will have its own Ecological Trademark – “Ecological Agriculture” - in the nearest future, Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Valeriu Cosarciuc said in a news conference on Friday, quoted by Info-Prim Neo.
The national mark “Ecological Agriculture – Republic of Moldova” will be an official sign of control and guarantee. It will confirm that the products were examined by inspection and certification organizations, the minister said.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry has already drafted a decision that will be submitted to the Government for approval. Under the draft decision, the “Ecological Agriculture” trademark will be managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and will be owned by the state.
The trademark will be put on a number of products and services, including vegetables, fruit, cereals, milk, meat, and eggs.
The trademark will be used by producers and processors registered with the Ministry of Agriculture that have signed cooperation contracts with an inspection and certification organization accredited by the National Certification Organization and that fully observe the legislation on ecological agriculture.
Valeriu Cosarciuc said that on the occasion of the presentation of the trademark, the companies that will have the right to use it will benefit from additional assistance from the state in implementing international quality systems.
