BRUSSELS, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission on Friday launched a public consultation on its action plan on organic farming.

The legislation should take effect in Jan. 2022 instead of the beginning of 2021 as requested by the EU member states and other stakeholders, since work on secondary legislation has slowed down as a result of the pandemic, a Commission media release stated.
