Since 1970s, the concept of ‘food safety’ has developed as a collective must. International organizations, especially Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) have played a crucial role in this aim. Some countries did their part too, particularly those that decided to pool sovereignty for the purpose of giving better quality of life to their people. That is exactly what is behind each and every EEC crop, a multilateral effort to increase quality standards of food production. Despite logical initial difficulties, over time these higher requirements created paramount levels of agricultural activities because of quality controls established. This means many advantages for consumers that are going to be detailed hereunder.

What does it mean? When talking about quality, we must take into account that nowadays everyone mentions this concept. No company, government or business can be projected without the promise of it as their destiny. It also happens with any EEC crop, with a sensitive difference though: quality has been built along decades of specific policies thought to develop better agriculture products. That is the very aim of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), a series of political decisions displayed in order to develop partner states production with standardized rules and quality targets. Hence, the advantage of strict regulations and common procedures guarantee a high minimum level of so desired quality.

Another double advantage of those policies is the official certification reached, and the global reliance on it. That achievement is proof of a credible image carefully developed over time, not only of European Union as a whole, but also of every single country.

Undoubtedly, all over the world every EEC crop may reach highest prices. Moreover, it is well known that those goods can penetrate any global market because of their characteristics and proved nursing practices on the agricultural fields. Cultivation techniques, careful selection of agricultural inputs and so resonate in the final product, and EEC certifications endorse those procedures.

All the above mentioned would not be possible without equally tight quality controls of every EEC crop and agricultural lands. First of all, controls held by national authorities, which must fulfil common standards agreed. Secondly, overhauls conducted by European Union administration, in order to reassure the compliance of agreed policies. Finally, market demand requirements, which defines quantity and price of both, commodities and processed products.

To sum up, all these gave Community countries a platform to develop a set of high-quality standards to be found on every EEC crop. One example of that are organic red pomegranates, particularly those from Spain, which match a set of tight requirements in order to get their health accreditation. As a matter of fact, since extra EEC countries do not have comparable restrictions and regulations, there will always be much more uncertainty about the quality of imported goods and conditions for its production.

This is one of the main guarantees that organic EEC products can offer to the market.
