Recital -1 (new)
(-1) The pet food sector has a role to play in contributing to the European Green Deal objectives. New labelling measures and the uniform use of the organic production logo of the European Union should help to develop and promote the pet food sector, both by selling products to consumers who are mindful of the organic content of what they buy, and through the opportunity to bring added value to organic by-products.

Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) Operators continued after 1 January 2022 to label pet food in accordance with national rules or private standards due to the restricted availability under organic form of certain necessary agricultural ingredients such as certain feed materials and feed additives to enhance palatability of pet food, or to guarantee nutritional value. This Regulation should authorise the labelling of pet food as organic even if it contains some non-organic agricultural ingredients, or where the main ingredient stems from fishing or hunting. Therefore, it is appropriate to allow the exhaustion of stocks of products which have been labelled in accordance with those national rules or private standards accepted or recognised by the Member States in accordance with Article 95(5) of Regulation (EC) No 889/2008 between 1 January 2022 and the date of the entry into force of this Regulation.
