Indtil Fællesskabets vedtagelse af nærmere regler om produktion, herunder regler om omstilling for økologisk akvakultur, finder de nationale regler eller i mangel heraf private standarder for økologisk akvakultur, som medlemsstaterne har godkendt eller anerkendt, anvendelse.
Until the adoption of detailed production rules by the Community, including rules on conversion, applicable to organic aquaculture, national rules or, in the absence thereof, private standards, applicable to organic aquaculture, accepted or recognised by the Member States, shall apply.
