What is the Definition of Organic Wool and Related product?

In IWTO meeting of Apr. 2008 in Beijing the related committees deliberated the revised definition and agreed on the new version of organic wool and related product (such as organic wool yarn) as well as ecology wool and related product. And the definition was also supplemented to appendix of IWTO Arbitration Agreement and Related International Agreement. The working group suggested that the definition revised by IWTO is only a guiding document applied for world countries. By defining organic wool, ecology wool and related products IWTO can help promote the development of green credit marketing.
