Legal formation of the national systems of organic production in Russia and the EAEU

2021 
The chapter substantiates the conclusion that an organic product is a food product produced on basis of natural agriculture and animal husbandry, without the use of pesticides and other plant protection products, chemical fertilizers, growth stimulants and animal fattening. Having studied the agricultural legislation of Russia and other EAEU countries, the authors note that these legal acts contain a large number of common approaches and methods of state regulation of the production and turnover of organic products, although it differs in terms of individual production conditions, prohibitions and restrictions. Despite the fact that the adoption of laws on organic products in Russia and the EAEU countries was a great victory for agricultural producers and consumers, there is still a lot of work to done. It is necessary to bring the EAEU standards in line with international requirements, to develop specific measures to support producers of organic agricultural products, to fine-tune control mechanisms and to establish sanctions for violations in this area. In particular, it is advisable to establish legal liability for the use of organic labeling without proper grounds. As economic measures to support producers of organic products, it is necessary to establish a regulatory obligation of the state to purchase only organic products for military personnel, hospitals, orphanages, as well as other similar social needs.
