Since January 1, 2015, Latvia is holding for the first time the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The Latvian Presidency's priorities are attuned to Commission President Juncker's political guidelines and 2015 Work Program presented in December 2014. The revision of the EU's organic farming proposal will be one of the Presidency's key priorities. The review of the EU's decision-making process on GMOs is a possible item on the agenda of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council (April) and Environment Council (June).
