Does NOT	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	Norway is outside the EU — the Ø is recognised under EEA equivalence, not direct EU equivalence.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.
