The ecologic products market has registered on the EU countries level a hightened dynamic. Yearly there is a growing number of european ecologic labels granted, labels that are only granted to some classes of non-food products, proving this way the orientation of more and more producers towards producing products with a low impact on environment according to the requirements of the consumers on the markets they perform on. In regard to the ecologic food products market there is a significant growth in the consumption of such products and in close connection to their cultivating areas in agreement with the regulations regarding the agricultural ecologic products. The dynamic of the ecologic products is justified by the evergrowing ackowledgment at public opinion level of the necessity to protect the environment, of the role of consuming ecologic products and therefore of giving up the consumption of polluting products that will ensure a longlasting development, by increasing the  requirements of the consumers that orientate themselves towards products that can guarantee their present and future safety and security.
