When granting such aid, the Commission shall impose the conditions governing the repayment of aid in the event of non-compliance, along with any interest due under the relevant rules in force. 2.

During the period referred to in paragraph 1, subparagraph 1, the products of undertakings that have implemented this system under the arrangements provided for in that subparagraph shall be given priority when intervention measures, as referred to in Title I of Part II are taken on the market for milk and milk products. 4. Taking into account the need to ensure that this scheme is operated in an effective and appropriate manner, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 160 to establish: (a) the amount of aid and of interest to be paid in the event of non-compliance referred to in paragraph 1; (b) the criteria to be met in order to be eligible for aid; (c) the specific conditions that will trigger implementation of this scheme; (d) the terms under which free distribution of milk to charitable organisations, as referred to in paragraph 2, may be deemed to be a cut in production.

Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 (8) In order to ensure the immediate start and efficient implementation of rural development programmes, support from the EAFRD should be based on the existence of sound administrative framework conditions. Member States should therefore assess compliance with certain ex ante conditionalities. Each Member State should prepare
Amendment 164 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) Agri-environment-climate payments should continue to play a prominent role in supporting the sustainable development of rural areas and in responding to society's increasing demands for environmental services. They should further encourage farmers and other land managers to serve society as a whole by introducing or continuing to apply agricultural practices contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment, the landscape and its features, natural resources, the soil and genetic diversity. In this context the conservation of genetic resources in agriculture and the additional needs of farming systems that are of high nature value should be given specific attention. Payments should contribute to covering additional costs and income foregone resulting from the commitments undertaken and should only cover commitments going beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements, in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle. In many situations the synergies resulting from commitments undertaken jointly by a group of farmers multiply the environmental and climate benefit. However, joint action brings additional transaction costs which should be compensated adequately. In order to ensure that farmers and other land managers are in a position to correctly implement the commitments they have undertaken, Member States should endeavour to provide them with the required skills and knowledge. Member States should maintain the level of efforts made during the 2007-2013 programming period and have to spend a minimum of 25% of the total contribution from the EAFRD to each rural development programme for climate change mitigation and adaptation and land management, through the agri- environment-climate, organic farming, forestry, Natura 2000 and Water Framework Directive payments and payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints measures.

Research activities will support the provisions of these public goods and services, through the delivery of management solutions, decision-support tools and the assessment of their non- market value. Specific issues to be dealt with include the identification of farming/forest systems and landscape patterns likely to achieve these goals. Socio-economic and comparative assessment of farming/forestry systems and their sustainability performance will be addressed.

Innovative and sustainable resource-efficient processes and diversified, safe, affordable and high quality products will be generated. This will strengthen the innovation potential of the European food supply chain, enhance its competitiveness, create economic growth and employment and allow the European food industry to adapt to changes.

Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 26 (26) Considerable volumes of illicit products, which do not comply with the requirements laid down in Directive 2001/37/EC, are placed on the market and indications are that these volumes might increase. Such products undermine the free circulation of compliant products and the protection provided for by tobacco control legislations. In addition, the FCTC obliges the Union to fight against illicit products, as part of a comprehensive tobacco control policy. Provision should thus be made for unit packets of tobacco products to be marked in a unique and secure way and their movements to be recorded so that these products can be tracked and traced in the Union and their compliance with this Directive can be monitored and better enforced. In addition, provision should be made for the introduction of security features that will facilitate the verification of whether or not products are authentic. The Commission and Member States should also ensure that any measures adopted in application of this Directive do not lead indirectly to an increase in the illicit trade in tobacco products.
Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 43 a (new) (43a) This Directive should not lead to a deterioration in the living conditions of people whose livelihoods depend on tobacco growing in Europe and who often live in disadvantaged areas. Given that the aim of the Directive is solely to discourage consumption of tobacco products, any decisions concerning ingredients and additives should take due account of the possible socioeconomic repercussions for groups whose livelihoods depend on tobacco growing. The European tobacco growing sector should be protected because it accounts for only a very small proportion of consumption in the EU and, at the same time, contributes to the economic stability of certain European regions where the range of alternative crops is limited. A decrease in or an end to tobacco growing in the EU would have no impact on consumption levels, but would lead to an increase in imports from third countries and a reduction in quality standards.
