Call for Participation in the Global
Consultation on the BioTrade Standard
The BioTrade Initiative is supporting the ECL
AP Secretariat in the global consultation on the "BioTrade
verification framework for Natural Ingredients", the standard
that will guide all companies in this sector working towards
compliance with the BioTrade Principles and Criteria.
On behalf of the Union for Ethical BioTrade, the BioTrade
Initiative would like to extend an invitation to those involved
in biotrade activities to register and offer inputs into this
document. It is very important that as many biotrade actors as
possible participate in this process. This will help to shape
the present document, as well as give international legitimacy
to the BioTrade Standard.
The first consultation of the first draft of the document has
now ended. However, a second draft of the document will be
available on
ECL Space for a second phase of
consultation. This will be open until 22nd
April 2007.
If you did not take part in the first period of
consultation, you will need to register to provide comments on
the standard. You do not have to have commented on the first
draft to comment on the second.
