22 The impact on biodiversity through the use of primary products can be illustrated for example by the extraction of Coltan (Colombo Tantalite) in the Wildlife Reserve in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Coltan is an ore used in mobile phones, computers and gaming devices. The growing demand for this ore has led to drastic increase in the poaching of wildlife (such as great apes)

24 Good Farming Practice corresponds to the type of farming that a reasonable farmer would follow in the region concerned. This includes at least compliance with the EU and the national environmental legislation. GFP entails, for example, compliance with the requirements of the Nitrates Directive and the use of plant protection products

This is likely to increase".
