ORGANIC FOOD: EUROPEAN COMMISSION HEARING ON ORGANIC FOOD AND FARMING

摘要

On January 22, the European Commission will hold a 'European Hearing on Organic Food and Farming Towards a European Action Plan' in Brussels. The main purpose of this healing is to listen to the views of the widest possible range of stakeholders, including experts in the agricultural, environmental and consumer field and to gather experiences from pilot initiatives. Following this public hearing, the Commission will prepare an Action Plan in the form of a Communication to the European Council and Parliament, including a list of possible actions to boost organic farming. The Brussels hearing is to provide the Commission with the most complete and appropriate guidance from stakeholders with a view to drawing up this Action Plan.
