Two seminars

In EISfOM two European seminars have been organized.

The first seminar focused on the development, harmonisation and quality assurance of organic data collection and processing systems (DCPS). The seminar was held in Berlin on the 26th and 27th of April 2004, and it had more than 100 participants, including representatives of the European Commission, Eurostat, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), of statistical offices and competent authorities, as well as researchers and stakeholders of the Organic Sector.


The second seminar took place November 10 and 11 2005 in Brussels. At the seminar the proposed framework for a European Information System for Organic Markets was discussed with national/international agencies and stakeholders. Proceedings and final recommendations from EISfOM are in preparation.
