Austria
Thursday 22 July 2004
The European Commission has authorised Austria to pay aid worth a total of EUR 4.9 million per year for costs linked to the quality label and biolabel issued by Agrarmarkt Austria (AMA).
The quality label may be awarded to agricultural products of significantly higher quality than regular products.
The biolabel may be awarded only to organic products.
Access to the two labels is open for all enterprises in the European Union, as long as they comply with the programme requirements regarding the quality of the labelled products.
