2010/0208(COD) Genetically modified organisms GMOs: possibility for the Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation of GMOs in their territory
2011/03/17
ENVI
22 amendments...
Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act Recital 2 (2) Under this set of legislation, GMOs for cultivation shall undergo an individual risk assessment before being authorised to be placed on the Union market. In accordance with the conclusions of the Environment Council of 4 December 2008, this risk assessment should be enhanced, particularly by taking better account of regional and local circumstances in the context of the assessment by the European Food Safety Authority. The aim of this authorisation procedure is to ensure a high level of protection of human life and health, animal health and welfare, the environment and consumer interests, whilst ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market. The same high level of protection of health and the environment should be sought and maintained throughout the territory of the Union.
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act Recital 5 (5) Experience has shown that cultivation of GMOs is an issue which is more thoroughly addressed by Member States, either at central or at regional and local level.
Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a regulation - amending act Recital 6 (6) In this context, it appears appropriate to grant to Member States, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, more freedom to decide whether or not they wish to cultivate GMO crops on their territory without changing the system of Union authorisations of GMOs and independently of the measures that Member States are entitled to take by application of Article 26a of Directive 2001/18/EC to avoid the unintended presence of GMOs in other products. This freedom granted to Member States should not result in any distortion of competition between farmers in the various Member States.

Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) Article 5 of Directive 2003/96/EC permits the application of differentiated rates of taxation in certain cases. However, in order to ensure the consistency of the CO2 price signal, the possibility for Member States to differentiate national rates should be restricted to general energy consumption taxation. Moreover, the possibility to apply a lower level of taxation to oil derived motor fuel used by taxis is no longer compatible with the objective of policies promoting alternative fuels and energy carriers and the use of cleaner vehicles in urban transport and should thus be removed.

Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) A limited number of categories of food constitutes the sole source of nourishment of certain groups of the population or represent a partial source of nourishment; such categories of food are vital for the management of certain conditions and/or are essential to maintain the intended nutritional adequacy for certain well-established vulnerable groups of the population. Those categories of food include infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten. Experience has shown that the provisions laid down in Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC, as well as Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009 ensure the free movement of such food in a satisfactory manner, while ensuring a high level of protection of public health. It is therefore appropriate that this Regulation focuses on the general compositional and information requirements for infant formula and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food for infants and young children and to food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten taking into account Commission Directive 2006/141/EC, Commission Directive 2006/125/EC and Commission Directive 1999/21/EC, and Commission Regulation (EC) No 41/2009.

However, the definitions of infant formulae and follow-on formulae, processed cereal-based food and baby food, and food for special medical purposes, and food for people intolerant to gluten should be regularly adapted taking into account technical and scientific progress and relevant developments at international level, as appropriate.

Given the fact that the adoption of the list implies the application of criteria set out in this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in that respect. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 25 a (new) (25a) The European Court of Justice has ruled, in case C- 34/101, that Union law precludes human embryonic stem cells from being patented. This Court judgment does not affect national legislation on this kind of research or funding by Member State budgets. However, the judgment has effects for Union law. This Regulation could conceivably be challenged at the European Court of Justice if it did not exclude funding for research using human embryonic stem cells. It is therefore advisable to exclude this kind of research from Union funding, leaving the matter to national research budgets. __________________ 1 Case C-34/10, Judgment of the Court (Grand Chamber) of 18 October 2011, Oliver Brüstle v Greenpeace eV, not yet published.

2012/0288(COD) Fuels and energy from renewable sources: transition to biofuels to deliver greenhouse gas savings
2013/05/08
ITRE
3 amendments...
Amendment 56 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 5 (5) Based on forecasts of biofuel demand provided by the Member States and estimates of indirect land-use change emissions for different biofuel feedstocks it is likely that greenhouse gas emissions linked to indirect land use change are significant, and could negate some or all of the greenhouse gas savings of individual biofuels. This is because almost the entire biofuel production in 2020 is expected to come from crops grown on land that could be used to satisfy food and feed markets. In order to reduce such emissions, it is appropriate to distinguish between crop groups such as oil crops, cereals, sugars and other starch containing crops accordingly. To this should be added the potential adverse effect on food product prices and the security of food product supply.
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) Liquid renewable fuels are likely to be required by the transport sector in order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced biofuels, such as those made from wastes and algae, provide high greenhouse gas savings with low risk of causing indirect land use change and do not compete directly for agricultural land for the food and feed markets. It is appropriate, therefore, to encourage in-depth studies and research aimed at ascertaining the potential beneficial effects of greater production of such advanced biofuels as these are currently not commercially available in large quantities, in part due to competition for public subsidies with established food crop based biofuel technologies. Further incentives should be provided by increasing the weighting of advanced biofuels towards 10% target for transport set in Directive 2009/28/EC compared to conventional biofuels. In this context, only advanced biofuels with low estimated indirect land use change impacts and high overall greenhouse gas savings should be supported as part of the post 2020 renewable energy policy framework.
Amendment 77 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of bio-based industrial sectors, and in line with the 2012 Communication "Innovating for Sustainable growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe"
