Previously, growers and companies wanting to trade products on both sides of the Atlantic had to obtain separate certifications to two standards, which meant a double set of fees, inspections, and paperwork.
Varem pidid mahetootjad ja -ettevõtjad, kes tahtsid mahetoodetega kaubelda mõlemal pool Atlandit, omandama eraldi sertifikaadid vastavalt kahele standardile, mis tähendas kahekordseid tasusid, kontrollimist ja paberitööd.
