Amendment 53 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Given the possibility of isotopes of solid elements escaping into the environment following a nuclear reactor accident, the list of maximum permitted levels of contamination of animal feed should be expanded and supplemented in accordance with Article 32 of the Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community to include other isotopes in addition to radioactive stable isotopes of caesium, such as transuranium elements and isotopes of strontium and iodine.
Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Annexes I, II and III should take into account the effect of the partial decay of radioactive isotopes during the shelf life of preserved foodstuffs; depending on the type of contamination, e.g. with iodine isotopes, the radioactivity of these products should be constantly monitored.
Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 7 – paragraph 1 a (new) Annex II should be completely redrafted on the basis of a classification of the intermediate and minor foodstuffs to be found on the EU consumer market; the basic principle of that classification should be consistency with Annex I.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Considers that demand for mineral and organic materials, water and air depends on a broad based innovatory policy in the field of materials substitution which is linked to their final use for the production of market products; it is therefore necessary to support innovatory solutions for obtaining construction materials for the building sector and machine industry, as well as materials for obtaining substances with specific physical and chemical properties, such as rare earth metals and copper;

Amendment 121 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Recognises that the increasing importance of electricity in the future energy mix requires that all means of low- carbon electricity production (conversion efficiency, renewables, CCS and nuclear energy) will need to be harnessed if climate goals are to be achieved without jeopardising security of supply and competitiveness;
Amendment 125 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Acknowledges the conclusions reached in the Energy Roadmap 2050 that there are similarities between the actions that must be taken in the analysed scenarios in order to transform the EU's energy system, regardless of the specific path chosen to achieve a low-carbon 2050 energy system; believes that renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy infrastructure are ‘no regrets’ options, although the way and extent to which they are pursued can have profound cost implications to Member States and to consumers which should be taken into account;

Amendment 144 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Is concerned that, so far, only some of the renewables on the energy market are economically competitive, although certain other technologies are closing the gap with market prices; agrees with the Commission that all available means must be used to bring the costs down and make RES economically competitive as an additional source of electricity for homes and as a means of generating electricity for the grid;

Amendment 267 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15. Notes that the development of RES on a major scale, with their remote and weather-dependent feed-in, can cause uncoordinated cross-border energy flows (loop flows) that could cause serious emergencies in other Member States – making load reduction increasingly necessary in the interests of supply security – if it does not go hand-in-hand with the requisite development of the grid in those Member States; is concerned about the state of
