Amendment 10 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act Recital 6 a (new) (6a) Compulsory origin labelling provides valuable information for consumers and enables producers to increase the value of their product.

Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act Recital 7 (7) The application of standards for the marketing of agricultural products can contribute to improving the economic conditions for the production and marketing as well as the quality of such products. The application of such standards is therefore in the interest of producers, traders and consumers. In order to bring about these economic and qualitative improvements, this Regulation and its implementing regulations should include all the provisions concerning specific standards currently in force, including those relating to indications of origin, additional requirements for the marketing of fruit and vegetables, and the content of standards on meat from bovine animals aged 12 months or less, milk and milk products, spreadable fats, eggs and poultrymeat, hops and honey.

20 amendments...
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a directive- amending act Recital 4 (4) According to Directive 1999/32/EC the Commission is to report to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the Directive and to table any proposals for amendments, in particular as regards the reduction of sulphur limits for marine fuel in SOx Emission Control Areas (SECAs),
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a directive- amending act Recital 4 a (new) (4a) It is also important that the Commission assess the consequences of ensuring compliance by the sector on the basis of reports drawn up by the Member States, in order to permit the upstream planning of appropriate accompanying measures, particularly by carrying out studies on the availability of fuels, their prices, the risks of a retrograde modal switch and the impact of the measures of this directive on all economic operators in the maritime transport sector. The results of this study would make it possible to clarify the Commission’s proposals on the deployment of its toolbox in practice and the implementation of the arrangements for sustainable water transport.
Amendment 22 #
Proposal for a directive- amending act Recital 6 (6) The revised Annex VI to MARPOL introduces, inter alia, stricter sulphur limits for marine fuel in SECAs (1.00% as of 1 July 2010 and 0.10% as of 1 January 2015) as well as in sea areas outside SECAs (3.5% as of 1 January 2012 and, in principle, 0.50% as of 1 January 2020). Most Member States are obliged to require ships to use fuel with maximum 1.00% sulphur content in SECAs as of 1 July 2010 based on their international commitments. In order to ensure coherence with international law as well as to secure proper enforcement of new globally established sulphur standards in the Union, the provisions of Directive 1999/32/EC should be aligned with the revised Annex VI to MARPOL. In order to
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a directive- amending act Recital 6 a (new) (6a) However, given the risk that the reduction to 0.1% in 2015 might lead to a modal switch for some intra-EU traffic, Member States should be allowed the option of requesting, in the context of the IMO, exemptions for a limited area and time, with a view to facilitating the use of alternative methods of emissions reduction.
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a directive- amending act Recital 7 (7) Passenger ships operate mostly in ports or close to coastal areas and their impacts on human health and the environment are significant. Those ships are required to use marine fuel with the same maximum sulphur content as is applicable in SECAs (1.5%). Given that stricter sulphur standards will apply in SECAs, it is justified by the need to improve air quality around ports and coasts in the non-SECA territories that the same standards apply to passenger ships. However, the introduction of a new SECA standard for passenger ships

Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas a sustainable, productive and competitive European agriculture makes a
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C a (new) Ca. whereas, on the one hand, only 6% of European farmers are aged under 35, and, on the other, 4.5 million farmers will retire in the next 10 years; whereas generational renewal should therefore be seen as one of the priority challenges for the future CAP,
Amendment 59 #
Motion for a resolution Recital D a (new) Da. whereas Europe’s history has left it with a dense population spread across the whole of its territory; whereas this legacy represents an opportunity for Europe, in particular in terms of tourism, but also creates a need to maintain good environmental, economic and social conditions throughout Europe; whereas the agricultural sector is by far the best placed to take steps to achieve these objectives in rural areas,
Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution Recital E a (new) Ea. whereas the agricultural sector has a crucial role to play in the fight against climate change, in particular by reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions and by developing carbon storage in the form of the production of biomass from, for example, agri-materials,
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F F. whereas the European Union must still have sufficient instruments to be prepared for market and supply crises and market and price fluctuations in the agricultural sector in the future; whereas steps should be taken to ensure that these instruments are not only up to date and effective, but also flexible, so that they can be implemented quickly if necessary,
Amendment 73 #
Motion for a resolution Recital F a (new) Fa. whereas although direct payments have made a vital contribution to meeting the objectives of the CAP, the arrangements for effecting them have shown themselves to be too rigid and abstract; whereas, against a background of increasing volatility, the European Union has no choice but to introduce more flexible arrangements to govern direct payments so that public spending can be brought more closely into line with economic realities,
Amendment 81 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G G. whereas the incorporation of general objectives into the CAP, particularly relating to consumer protection, environmental protection, climate protection, animal welfare and regional cohesion, is in principle to be welcomed but this must not jeopardise the competitiveness of European farmers and the continued viability of farming throughout Europe,
Amendment 96 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I a (new) Ia. whereas according to the latest Eurobarometer poll, 90% of EU citizens surveyed consider agriculture and rural areas to be important for Europe's future, 83% of EU citizens surveyed are in favour of financial support to farmers and, on average, they believe that agricultural policy should continue to be decided upon at European level,

Motion for a resolution Recital P a (new) Pa. whereas the high food standards achieved in the European Union and EU citizens’ legitimate expectations, in particular as regards the environment and animal welfare, are public goods which generate additional costs for farmers which are not offset, or offset only in part, by market prices,

Calls for a further simplification of the direct payment system, for example simplified transfer rules for payment entitlements in the event of non-activation, merging of minimum payment entitlements, simplification of the rules governing the national reserve and changes to gear them more to young farmers, who should be granted priority access when taking over a farm, or reduce them, depending on the transition to the regional/national single area payment, abolition of handwritten cattle registries, an effective and unbureaucratic monitoring system for both pillars and uniform penalties; considers that administrative systems which can be proven to be operating well should be looked upon favourably in the light of the scale of monitoring prescribed;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18. Calls on the Commission to provide support for grassland under the first pillar and to submit by 31 December 2016 a report setting out comprehensively how livestock farming in Europe can be safeguarded in the long term with regard to multifunctionality and regional aspects (such as mountain areas, Nordic regions and extremely remote areas) and also dealing with the question of how far the aims of the CAP can be realised in a

Amendment 607 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19. Considers that direct payments should be made only to active farmers, i.e. to professionals whose activities entail the mastery and pursuit of one or more of the steps required in a plant or animal biological cycle, and those whose activities are performed further to the act of production, who use an agricultural holding for this purpose or whose production emanates from a minimum of 50% of materials from an agricultural holding; realises that, under the system of decoupled direct payments, each farmer who uses farmland for production or who tends it in order to maintain GAEC should receive direct payments; calls on the Commission therefore to devise a definition of ‘active farmer’ which the Member States can administer without additional administrative effort, while it should be ensured that traditional farming activities (full-time and various degrees of part-time) are classified as active farming;
Amendment 612 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 a (new) 19a. Calls on the European Commission to study the feasibility of flexibility mechanisms for granting direct payments, which could come in three forms: at Community budget level, the carryover of CAP funds not used in a given year and their transfer to a new financial tool (crisis management rapid-response reserve fund); at sectoral level, the transfer of some direct aid between the plant and animal sectors at times of major crisis (mutual solidarity mechanism); at farmer level, the placing in reserve of some of the direct aid not used in a given year (precautionary savings, multiannual investment plan, etc);
