The Slovak organic farming was established in year 1991 with 37 farmers. That time the production was ruled by IFOAM Standards, later by the 1st Slovak Organic Farming Act 224/1998 amended in year 2002. After accession of Slovakia to the EU in year 2004 the legislative framework for organic farming was entirely changed: the basic provisions for the organic production are stated in Commission and Council Regulations, mainly in the Council Regulation (ECC) 2092/91 on organic production of agricultural products and indications referring thereto on agricultural products and foodstuffs with its amendments and in the Slovak Act 421/2004 on Organic Farming. The Slovak Act 421/2004 is very compact, quite short and covers the special issues of the Slovak organic farming system such as: identification of the Slovak competent authority ( it is the Central Control and Testing Institute in Agriculture) for organic farming, the duties of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Slovak Republic, the registration system, the inspection body´s authorization, the Slovak organic farming logo, the sample analyses expenses and the sanctions.
