Proposal for a regulation – amending act Recital 5 (5) The second subparagraph of Article 18(2) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 foresees gradual elimination, by 31 December 2013, of vineyards planted with prohibited direct-producer hybrid vine varieties in the Azores and Madeira. The third subparagraph of Article 18(2) of that Regulation obliges Portugal to notify each year progress made in converting and restructuring areas planted with such vine varieties. These provisions are stricter than the rules laid down in Article 120a(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, namely that prohibited direct-producer hybrid vine varieties shall be grubbed up except when the resulting wine is intended exclusively for the wine producers' family. Therefore the date of 31 December 2013 in Article 18(2)

Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Stresses the need, given that diversity is Europe's fundamental asset, for a formal recognition of the efforts made by European producers in meeting EU farming requirements with regard to quality, environmental, animal welfare and health standards; considers that after 2013 the CAP should support the quality policy and quality efforts, especially among producers, who have responsibility for using more environment-friendly production methods; calls for regions, in view of their proximity, to be given a more important role in the recognition and promotion of products with an indication of origin, traditional products and organic products;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Considers that marketing standards still retain an important role in the production chain, and consequently they should be kept; they render transparent the changes on the market and allow purchasers to compare prices, sizes and quality of products and ensure a level playing-field in European competition; considers also that quality standards should include criteria specific to 'population' seeds and 'traditional, small-scale farming and on- site conservation' breeds forming part of our arable and animal biodiversity, which account for an increasing proportion of consumer demand;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Is in favour of allowing stakeholders to develop marketing standards on their own, within trade associations and organisations such as the CEN (European Committee on Standardisation); however these standards should only be supplementary
Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Emphasises that, on the basis of producers’ experience, it has emerged that the management of the product quality through the PDOs and PGIs specifications, and the protection against usurpations are not sufficient for the further development of GI products; calls for an in-depth assessment to be carried out to identify suitable instruments for the management of the volume of production for PDO and PGI products; proposes enhancing the role of geographical indication owners' consortia1 in order to define the specific criteria in Community legislation; _________ 1 For example, 'consortium' in Italy, 'consejo regulador' in Spain and 'organisme de défense et de gestion' or 'détenteur d'IG' in France.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 25 25.

Amendment 656 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 56 a (new) 56 a. Considers that providing farmers and agricultural workers in Europe and third countries, particularly in developing countries, with fair income for Fair Trade is central to Fair Trade as defined by private market standards. Farmers in the EU need to be paid fair prices on regional markets as well as on the internal market. A supply management that mitigates the consequences of volatility and thereby prevents the dumping of excess produce is a decisive means of guaranteeing fair income. In order to remove distortions of trade, all export subsidies should be discontinued from 2013;
Amendment 742 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 61 61. Believes that to underpin the five key building blocks of the CAP, a minimum safety net against extreme price volatility should still be available as a rapid reaction crisis tool; to that end, considers that a special reserve budget line should be made available in the EU budget which could be activated rapidly to respond to crises which arise, and that new innovative economic and financial tools should also be considered
Amendment 761 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 63 63. Recalls that, amongst the current set of market tools, export refunds should continue to be phased out according to WTO agreements, bearing in mind that the WTO Appeals Panel has since 2001 handed down a number of rulings, for example that of 3 December 2001 in the Canadian dairy products case, stating that dumping resulting from the use of that instrument must take account of internal subsidies for the exported products;

Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Recalls that the CAP, in addition to its fundamental objectives, has a multifunctional role in delivering public goods, such as environmental protection, high-quality food production, high animal welfare standards, and in shaping and improving the diversity and quality of valued landscapes in the EU; points out that it also plays a key part in combating land abandonment, rural depopulation and the ageing of the rural population in the EU by providing appropriate funding for rural communities; stresses that also in the future two funds, namely an agricultural fund and rural development fund, should exist in their own right;
Amendment 22 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Notes that this is the first CAP reform in an EU of 27 Member States and that it is important to take account of the varied types of agriculture carried on in European countries and territories, whilst avoiding any attempt to renationalise what is a common policy; notes that for a reasonable distribution among the Member States objective criteria which consider the purchasing power parity are needed;

Amendment 443 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 a (new) (12a) As an emergency measure, public intervention on the market should be pursued only with the aim of stabilising extreme price volatility due to temporary excess demand on the European market. It should not be used to stabilise structural excess production.
Amendment 458 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 a (new) (23a) In order to strengthen and complete the existing market management instruments and ensure that they function smoothly, an instrument should be introduced which is based on the private management of supply and coordination between individual market participants. Market participants should have the option of withdrawing a product during the marketing year with the backing of recognised associations of producer organisations which have an appropriate size on the market. However, little progress has been made thus far in setting up producer organisations in the milk sector. Until such time as producer organisations have been established which are powerful enough to negotiate market rules, producers must be guaranteed a minimum degree of market stability with the help of a market organisation which adjusts production to European demand. The milk quota system should therefore be extended to 2017.

Until such time as the measures taken by the organisations referred to in Articles 106 to 108 have developed the market power needed to adjust supply to demand on the basis of specific decisions, producers must be guaranteed a minimum degree of market stability with the aid of a suitable market organisation which keeps production in line with European demand.

With a view to the application of paragraph 1, and in conjunction with the work of the national statistical institutes and national price observatories, the European Food Price Monitoring Tool shall gather the statistical data and information needed to produce analyses and studies in particular on: (b) price formation mechanisms and, as far as possible, profit margins throughout the food supply chain in the EU and the Member States; (c) price trends and, as far as possible, profit margins at all levels of the food supply chain in the EU and the Member States and in all agricultural and agri- foodstuff sectors, particularly fruit and vegetables, milk and milk products and meat; (d) short- and medium-term market forecasts. For the purposes of this paragraph, the European Food Price Monitoring Tool shall study in particular exports and imports, farm gate prices, consumer prices, profit margins, costs of production, processing and distribution at all stages of the food supply chain in the EU and the Member States. (e) Based on the statistical data collected a target price corridor for milk is calculated by the European Monitoring Tool. The target price corridor is oriented on production costs of milk production. If prices do not correspond to the price target corridor the European Monitoring Tool recommends volume adjustments carried out by several instruments including those established in Article 156 a in order to adapt supply to demand and to avoid that prices fall under the calculated target price corridor.

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 1. Welcomes the communication from the Commission concerning a reform of
Amendment 205 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Takes the view that global food security can only be achieved through improved sustainable management of natural resources and more sustainable food systems, reduced dependence on non-renewable resources, a better balance between crop and animal production and an international framework for fair trade, so that people around the world have reliable access to sufficient, safe and healthy food at fair prices; underlines in this respect that agricultural development must be grounded in the right to food and the right to food sovereignty which allows people and countries to decide about their agriculture and food policy, while acting with international solidarity with populations dependent on food imports.
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Welcomes the effort of the Commission to involve a wide range of European citizens and stakeholders in the reform process; is aware that EU citizens demand a high quality and a wide choice of food products, including high environmental, public health and animal welfare standards and access to typical regional and local products;
Amendment 210 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 c (new) 1c. Is aware that these expectations often clash with the current model of agriculture which defines competitiveness mainly through rationalisation and low production costs putting existing environmental and quality standards under stress; believes that competitiveness in farming and food production needs to be redefined, including environmental and social standards and the demands of specific local, regional, national and international markets;
Amendment 211 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 d (new) 1d. Believes that the future CAP must strike a balance between society's expectations towards agriculture and a fair income for farmers; stresses that the goals of the CAP can only be achieved if farmers can rely upon a long term policy framework and efficient market regulation so that in the long term prices for farm products cover the costs of sustainable production, including a fair remuneration for their work.
Amendment 212 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 e (new) 1e. Highlights the fact, that - as opposed to the sectors upstream and downstream of primary agricultural production - average incomes of farmers and rural households have continuously decreased over the past decades compared to the rest of the economy, reaching only half of urban households incomes, while processors, traders and retailers have substantially increased market power and margins in the food chain;
Amendment 213 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 f (new) 1f. Takes the view that farm income is related to active farmers as opposed to turnover which relates to capital and land ownership; calls for a new transparency initiative of the Commission which obliges not only farmers but also farm input industries and food industries to publish their market shares, stocks and profit margins;
Amendment 214 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 g (new) 1g. Calls for changes in EU competition law which allows and supports farmers in organising themselves in producer groups so as to increase their bargaining power and to establish new forms of supply management;
Amendment 215 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 h (new) 1h. Draws attention to the fact that many European rural regions face growing disparity, loss of social cohesion and capital and suffer from demographic change and out-migration which often results in abandonment of valuable farmland and in loss of environmental and cultural vitality;
Amendment 216 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 i (new) 1i. Believes that future rural development policies must work towards a better territorial balance and that rural regions need less bureaucratic and more participatory governance of rural development programs and enhanced support for strengthening and diversifying the rural economy, especially for regional and local processing and marketing of food;
Amendment 217 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 j (new) 1j. Takes the view that in the light of these challenges common action is also needed to adapt extension services, education and capacity building, so as to enable farmers and rural communities to contribute to an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable agriculture and rural development in the EU.
Amendment 458 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13.
Amendment 475 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a. Calls for Member States to specify, in accordance with the goals of the reform and national rural development programmes, a specific percentage of the direct payments to be directed to small farmers; stresses, however, that support of these farms should not just preserve a status quo but support farmers to improving production and income;
Amendment 503 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15. Considers that
Amendment 542 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Calls
Amendment 560 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Observes that, for historical reasons, farms in the European Union have a very diverse structure as regards size, employment arrangements and legal form;
Amendment 570 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 a (new) 17 a. Believes that second pillar should strengthen the economy and vitality of rural regions as well as support the transition process towards sustainable farming systems including the improvement of local infrastructure for processing and marketing, so that added value no longer leaks away from rural regions;
Amendment 571 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 b (new) 17 b. Believes that the European framework for rural development programmes should improve and decentralise research, training, exchange of agricultural knowledge and extension services; build capacity in programming and running rural development programmes etc.; programming and implementation should focus on local and sub-regional partnerships following the LEADER method; Member States should be obliged to set minimum percentages of rural development money for specific measures (as was the case in the axes approach);

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 19. Considers that direct payments should be made only to active farmers;
Amendment 618 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 c(new) 19c. Believes that agriculture and rural development need distinct policies; therefore agrees that two funds are necessary to distinguish instruments and measures for agriculture and for rural development;
Amendment 619 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 d(new) 19d. Calls for a fair distribution of CAP funding for the first and second pillars both among Member States and among farmers within a Member State; deplores major disparities in the distribution of these funds among Member States; calls for a system of direct payments which assures equity in levels of payments between farmers and member states tracked in relation to national purchasing power parity; Considers that preserving the diversity of farming and of its production locations in the EU is a central objective and therefore advocates taking account of the specific conditions in the Member States;
Amendment 620 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 19 e(new) 19e. Considers that meeting the environmental challenges and providing full legitimacy for public support to farmers requires a comprehensive approach to rewarding public goods. Calls for a coherent system of environmental incentives comprising of: - a solid cross compliance baseline, based on the polluter pays principle; - a farm level mandatory greening component within pillar 1 which consists of a simple package of meaningful good agronomic practices such as crop rotation, farm level green infrastructures, soil cover and nutrient balance; - specific pillar 1 top ups for farmers in Natura 2000 sites, organic farms and for extensively managed pasture and meadows; - a well targeted and well resourced Pillar 2, which should include effective, voluntary, multi-annual schemes to support farmers going beyond basic good practice and contributing to the achievement of EU objectives on climate change, biodiversity and water.

Calls upon the Commission to improve transparency about the real costs and benefits of different kinds of agricultural models of production, and to assess their global and direct impact, either positive or negative, on other sectors of the economy (health, tourism, water, etc);
Amendment 893 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 36 c (new) 36 c Calls for legislative proposals which include flexible supply management measures in order to prevent permanent surplus production which has repeatedly provoked price shocks and crisis in many farm sectors, such as in meat and milk production, which in some regions has caused massive concentration of production, with severe environmental and social costs;
Amendment 894 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 36 d (new) 36 d. Suggest the creation of a common food market monitoring agency which monitors movements of demand, supply, prices and production costs of food and determine target price corridors which respond to the sustainability targets of overall agricultural production;

Amendment 1086 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 48 a (new) 48 a. Highlights the importance of rural development to complement the basic good practices supported under the first pillar, with multi-annual programmed measures. These should support the orientation of European farming towards the production of quality food, sustainable management of natural resources and balanced territorial development. In particular, it should address the pressing global challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, depletion of water resources and soil degradation. A priority should be given to holistic farm practices that deliver multiple benefits, such as high nature value farming and organic farming;
Amendment 1103 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 48 b (new) 48 b. Suggests - given the imperative of those new challenges - to broaden the scope of the current farm advisory system objectives through the rural development policy by integrating a knowledge and innovation system to disseminate innovative farming practices that support the changes towards more sustainable and agroecological production systems;.
Amendment 1122 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 49 a (new) 49 a. Despite the importance of an overall European framework, insists that Member States and regional authorities are best placed to decide on the programmes which, locally, can make the greatest contribution to European targets; calls, therefore, for maximum subsidiarity and flexibility to apply for the creation of rural development programmes, organised around the four existing axes; stresses the need for a strong bottom-up local partnership approach in the design and implementation of the future rural development programmes, with additional encouragement for local action groups to take ownership of rural development under LEADER;

Amendment 1195 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 52 52. Advocates that, in the case of measures which are of particular importance to Member States, an optional increase of 25% in national financing in the second pillar (top-up) should be possible; notes that this money should be additional to EAFRD funds, and not a replacement;
Amendment 1202 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 53 53. Calls for abrupt changes in the allocation of appropriations in the second pillar to be avoided, as Member States require certainty to enable them to plan and continuity of financing; nevertheless, acknowledges the need for a fairer and more equal distribution of Pillar II funds between Member States;
Amendment 1210 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 54 54. Advocates that it should not be compulsory for national cofinancing to come from public funds;
Amendment 1233 #

Amendment 1258 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 57 a (new) 57 a. Calls on the EU to play an important role in promoting international agreements for a paradigm shift in agriculture and food systems including action on climate change, biodiversity loss, including crop rotation, soil and water management and animal welfare; this should also be applied to imports from third countries (qualified market access), with due attention to the uneven playing field between the EU and less developed countries and in the framework of fair trade agreements which do not exploit less developed partners;
Amendment 1262 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 57 b (new) 57 b. Calls for the EU to ensure consistency between the CAP and its development and trade policies; in particular urges the EU to be attentive to the situation in the developing countries and not jeopardize the self-supply of food in these countries and the ability of those populations to feed themselves, while respecting the principle of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD);
Amendment 1263 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 57 c (new) 57 c. Welcomes the EU offer in the WTO negotiations to abolish export refunds; calls for the EU to fully abandon export refunds, considering that they cause distortion of external markets while providing no additional benefits for EU domestic farm gate prices; recognises the importance of abolishing export refunds internationally for ensuring food security and sustainable economic development in developing countries;
Amendment 1264 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 57 d (new) 57 d. Calls for the EU to propose the creation of a new multilateral system designed to regulate agricultural commodities markets and trade, based on The Universal Declaration on Human Rights, the principle of food sovereignty, and the preservation of environment;

Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Recalls that the agricultural sector can contribute to further mitigating climate change, and the CAP post 2013 is expected to enhance this contribution; notes
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Stresses that livestock production is responsible for around 10% of EU greenhouse gas emissions; notes that both sustainable livestock production and reduced meat consumption are vital to reducing agricultural emissions; recalls that such a transition to a more healthy diet could reduce methane and nitrous oxides emissions substantially;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 b (new) 1b. Considers that long term competitiveness can only be achieved by having healthy, biologically diverse agro- ecosystems that are climate resilient and by taking due care of limited and finite natural resources, such as soil, water and land;

Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Recalls that improved agricultural and forestry practices should increase the capacity of the sector to preserve and sequester carbon in soils and forests; notes that both adaptation to and mitigation of climate change can be achieved by increasing the carbon content of the soil, re-linking animal and arable production, decreasing dependency on oil-based fertiliser and pesticides, while also closing nutrient cycles and making nutrient cycles efficient and non-polluting while ensuring optimal crop growth;
Amendment 31 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Stresses that crop rotation, especially combined with conservation tillage, leads to a higher soil-carbon content and therefore contributes to combating climate change;
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Stresses that
Amendment 43 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Stresses that the food chain should be shortened and the consumption of locally produced food should be encouraged, including the support for local markets, in order to reduce the transport related emissions of agricultural production; notes that transport-related emissions of agricultural products only represent a relatively small part of the total carbon footprint of these products and therefore agricultural production and product losses also need to be addressed;
Amendment 48 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Notes that there is a need for better management of bio-waste and of agriculture and forestry by- products; notes in this respect the use of animal waste and plant based by-products and processing waste e.g. in biofermenters to produce on- farm energy, while at the same time also reducing farmers' production costs;
Amendment 56 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 10 10. Supports the financing by EU funds, including the Rural Development Fund, of only energy efficient projects for agricultural facilities, especially of those applying renewable energy sources which can reduce carbon emissions to a level as
Amendment 64 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 11 11. Stresses that more research funding is necessary to develop and mainstream less energy intensive a
Amendment 66 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 11 a (new) 11a. Believes that better livestock feed management, including protein crops in arable rotations and increasing the diversity of protein crops in permanent pasture mixes, in order to grow more animal feed on-farm, would reduce dependence on animal feed imports with a high carbon cost; this would also reduce costs of animal feed for farmers, and invest into better soil management, through increasing soil water retention, and also reducing susceptibility to pests;
Amendment 67 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 11 b (new) 11b. Stresses the need to improve the energy self-sufficiency of farms, through incentives for on-farm renewable energy, such as wind turbines, solar panels and bio fermentation technology, to reduce production costs and increase their economic viability by providing an alternative income stream for farmers;
Amendment 68 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 11 c (new) 11c. Notes the FAO study "Low Greenhouse Gas Agriculture" from 2009, and its finding that organic agriculture reduced energy requirements for production systems by 25 to 50 percent compared to conventional chemical-based agriculture; stresses that integration of organic techniques into farming have a major role to play in tackling carbon emissions while boosting farm productivity, such as sequestering carbon in the soil, thus increasing soil organic matter content and boosting plant growth fertility, plus increasing retention of water and reducing the need to irrigate.

Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Notes that current threats to biodiversity are principally fragmentation of ranges and habitats and toxicological effects on populations, leading to local and regional extinction, as well as abandonment of High Nature Value grazed pastoralist systems; Notes further that the environmental fluctuations inherent in climate change mean that species need to be able to move to adapt their ranges if large-scale local extinctions are to be avoided, therefore habitat connectivity is crucial; Considers that biodiversity should not and can not be limited to reserves, and a matrix of nature-friendly land use is needed, incorporating Natura 2000 sites, agri- environmental measures, permanent grasslands, ecological focus areas, within a diverse agricultural system that does not erode biodiversity but adds to it, e.g. via crop rotation which reduces the need to apply costly pesticides;
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Welcomes the new EU biodiversity strategy and the Commission recommendations for CAP reform that provides for a greening of the CAP, including clearly formulated measures under both the first and second pillars seeking to conserve and improve biodiversity; welcomes therefore the allocation of 30% of Pillar I payments to simple agronomic practices that are beneficial for the climate and the environment - these should include crop rotation, permanent pasture and ecological focus areas made up of existing landscape elements and buffers which would improve soil formation, pollination and the cycling of water and nutrients;
Amendment 28 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Notes with concern that domesticated biodiversity of crop varieties and animal breeds is decreasing and that, because of the nature of susceptibility to pests and resistance against widely used biocides, long term food security is therefore threatened by reliance on a narrowing range of genotypes; Stresses the need for more effective co-operation and measures at European level

AGRI
8 amendments...
Amendment 25 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4 a) In the EU, 90 million tonnes of food are wasted annually, of which a considerable part is safe and fit for consumption. Many beneficiaries already have supply sources other than EU support such as local or regional supermarkets, farmers, restaurants etc., which at the same time provides aid to the most deprived and prevents food waste. Notwithstanding efforts to minimise food waste supported by other EU programmes, this Fund should support the development of or strengthening these local food supply chains thereby reducing food waste.
Amendment 45 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 17 a (new) (17 a) However, the use of intervention stocks and food that would otherwise be wasted does not preclude the need for good supply management and wise management of the food chain which avoids systematic structural surpluses and which matches European production with demand.
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 3 The Fund shall promote social and territorial cohesion in the Union by contributing to achieving the poverty reduction target of at least 20 million of the number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion in accordance with the Europe 2020 strategy. The Fund shall contribute to achieving the specific objective of alleviating the worst forms of poverty in the Union by providing non- financial assistance to the most deprived persons and by local and regional food supply chains that benefit the most deprived persons, by supplying them with nutritious, healthy, quality food with due emphasis on fresh and seasonal products. This objective shall be measured by the number of persons receiving assistance from the Fund and the use of local and regional food supply networks.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 4 – paragraph 2 a (new) 2 a. The Fund may, at the request of a Member State, provide beneficiaries with assistance and/or equipment to make more use or more efficient use of local food supply chains, thereby augmenting and diversifying the supply of food for the most deprived and also preventing the waste of food.
Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 5 – paragraph 12 (12) Member States and beneficiaries shall choose the food products and the goods on the basis of objective criteria to ensure access to healthy, nutritious and quality food.
