In 1999 it was supplemented by regulation (EC) N° 1804/1999, which regulates the raising, labelling and inspection of the most relevant animal species (i.e. cattle, sheep, goats, horses and poultry). This agreement covers such issues as foodstuffs, disease prevention and veterinary treatments, animal welfare, husbandry practices and the management of manure.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products derived from GMOs are explicitly excluded from organic production methods.

The regulation also regulates the import of ecologically grown agricultural products from third countries.
