The appeal concerning the further existence of the Federal Forest Service of Russia was voted by all 120 MPs present at the session. The appeal was dressed by governors against president Putin's earlier decision to halt the existence of the federal body dealing with forests and forestry in Russia. Dorota Metera contributed to the speech delivered by the bishop representing the farmers. Both bishops and EU representatives were delighted by the food presented by the organic farmers. The law on organic farming was for the first time presented in the Parliament on 9 June.
Organic farmers are for the second consecutive year receiving subsidies from the state.
There were many presentations on regional initiatives in Europe and participants from other regions of the world were invited to comment and make suggestions. Financing has already been found to hold regional consultations. A report will be coming out soon. All the materials will go on the website shortly. This project needed to be done so fast that I think we have developed a new way of working between offices and people which I would like to consider for other projects.
