The Commision proposal had to find the right balance between precision and flexibility in order to on the one hand differentiate the organic animal production method clearly from the conventional husbandry, and on the other hand keep sufficient flexibility to cover the organic livestock production adequately in all Member States.
La proposition de la Commission devait âtre à la fois suffisamment précise et suffisamment souple, pour, d'une part, différencier clairement le mode de production biologique des élevages traditionnels et, d'autre part, couvrir de façon appropriée la production biologique animale dans tous les Etats membres.
