Amendment 114 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 Amendment 121 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 33 (33) The indication of origin is currently mandatory for beef and beef products15 in the Union following the bovine spongiform encephalopathy crisis and it has created consumer expectations. The impact assessment of the Commission confirms that the origin of meat appears to be consumers’ prime concern. There are other meats widely consumed in the Union, such as swine, sheep, goats and poultry. It is therefore appropriate to impose a mandatory declaration of origin for those products, and for those products when used in processed foods. The specific origin requirements could differ from one type of meat to another according to the characteristics of the animal species. It is appropriate to provide for the establishment through implementing rules of mandatory requirements that could vary from one type of meat to another taking into account the principle of proportionality and the administrative burden for food business operators and enforcement authorities.

Such additional forms of expression and presentation may help consumers to better understand the nutrition declaration.

2012/01/26
ENVI
24 amendments...
Amendment 103 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 20 (20) It is appropriate to establish and update a Union list of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other substances that may be added to infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, and food for special medical purposes, subject to certain criteria laid down in this Regulation. For sake of legal clarity and avoiding legal gaps, it must be made clear that when a substance which is already included in the Union list and which undergoes a significant change in the production methods or if there is a change in particle size, for example through nanotechnology, the substance shall be removed from the Union list and considered a substance requiring an application as a novel food under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients. 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. The Commission should adopt immediately applicable implementing acts updating the Union list, where, in duly justified cases relating to public health, imperative grounds of urgency so require.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) Making EID mandatory throughout the Union may have economically adverse effects on certain operators. It is therefore appropriate that a voluntary regime for the introduction of EID is established.
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 a (new) (19a) So far, there is no specific legislation on cloning. However, opinion polls show that this issue is of great interest for the European public. It is therefore appropriate to ensure that beef derived from cloned animals or their descendants is labelled as such. This provision should apply transitionally, until specific legislation is introduced prohibiting the placing on the market of food from cloned animals and their descendants.
Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 b (new) (19b) The labelling of beef has been well- regulated for years, and can serve as a model for meat labelling in general. However, there is a gap in ensuring full transparency for consumers when it comes to the labelling of beef derived from animals which have been fed with genetically modified organisms. As there is a clear public demand, it is appropriate to introduce mandatory labelling requirements for beef from animals which have been fed with genetically modified organisms, with a view to ensuring such labelling for all animal products at a later stage.
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 1 – point 1 a (new) Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 Article 2 (1a) In Article 2, the following definition is added: "cloned animals" means animals produced by means of a method of asexual, artificial reproduction with the aim of producing a genetically identical or nearly identical copy of an individual animal,

2012/08/03
ENVI
3 amendments...
Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 (2) Fish belonging to the taxon Elasmobranchii, including sharks, skates and rays are generally very vulnerable to overexploitation due to their life cycle characteristics of slow growth, late maturity and small number of young. In recent years, some shark populations have been severely targeted by vessels flying the flag of a Member State or third countries in maritime waters under the sovereignty or the jurisdiction of Member States or in other maritime waters and put under serious threat as a result of a dramatic increase in demand for shark products, fins in particular.
Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 2 a (new) (2a) Shark fins do not constitute a traditional ingredient of the European diet, but sharks do constitute a necessary element of the EU's marine ecosystem; therefore, their management and conservation, as well as in general the promotion of a sustainably managed fishing sector for the benefit of the environment and of the people working in the sector, should be the priority.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The EU Member States are very concerned about environmental issues and the EU aspires to be one of the leaders in the conservation of ecosystems; however, the current EU legislation concerning the species belonging to the Elasmobranchii taxon is not as strong as in other countries and is insufficient to ensure the sustainable management and the conservation of those species, due to the high fin-to-carcass ratio, the lack of quotas for many species and the existing derogations.

2011/2175(INI) How to avoid food wastage: strategies for a more efficient food chain in the EU
2011/10/21
ENVI
11 amendments...
Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion Indent 2 a (new) - whereas it requires a paradigm shift to positively change consumers behaviour towards less food wastage, improvements can already be made in the EU food chain in the management of storage, transport and distribution stages,
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Is convinced that the prevention of food losses has to be the very first priority of
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Is of the opinion that avoidance of food wastage is more efficient than composting, incinerating or land-filling food waste as there will be less GHG emissions and less spillage of water;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Stresses that (food-) waste should be recognised as a resource. If it under no circumstances can be used as foods, the opportunities to use waste in biogas plants should be improved and biogas production should be further supported.
Amendment 30 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Is of the opinion that packaging must be optimised and reduced. Research and innovation in the field of intelligent packaging should be promoted to explore good solutions for the actual use by date for individual products.
Amendment 34 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Believes that sales by loose weight and in customised portions in supermarkets should be encouraged to delimit that customers purchase excess food.
Amendment 51 #

Draft opinion Paragraph 7 a (new) 7a. Point out the initiatives already taken in various Member States aimed at recovering, locally, unsold agricultural products and foodstuffs in order to redistribute them to groups of citizens who lack purchasing power; stresses that these initiatives are complementary to existing social security and welfare systems and should not be replacing them in Member States;
Amendment 90 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 b (new) 7b. Is of the opinion that the functioning of the market, as expressed by for example, but not limited to, speculation in foodstuffs, artificially maintaining high price levels of food, agricultural subsidies and waste treatment of discarded food, leads to the situation that for certain actors in the food chain it is more opportune to discard food, than to sell it. Future EU food waste and bio-waste policies should be aimed at preventing this behaviour.

Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B e (new) B e. Whereas the goal of halting the decline of biodiversity by 2010 has not been reached due to lack of political and financial commitmetns;
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1 a. Considers that the new 7th EAP needs to describe in an un-ambivalent manner the environmental challenges the EU is faced with, including accelerating climate change, deterioration of our eco- system and increasing overuse of natural resources.
Amendment 34 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7.
Amendment 53 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 a (new) 11 a. Considers that the 7th EAP should cover the next decade and should be instrumental in achieving a long term target: reduce the Ecological Footprint with 50% in the next 20 years.

Amendment 67 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14 a.

Amendment 138 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a. Emphasises the importance of halting and reversing the reduction in species diversity and crop varieties, leading to an erosion of the genetic basis on which human and animal nutrition depends; advocates the need to promote the use of traditional agricultural varieties specific to certain regions and rejects the homogenisation/specialisation of agricultural production, flowing from successive CAP reforms;

15 amendments...
Amendment 155 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 a (new) 14a. Advocates the appropriateness of “Greening” practices to agricultural diversity in the various Member States, taking into account, for example, the specific situation of Mediterranean countries, which is not addressed by the proposed thresholds in relation to the diversification of crops and land of ecological importance; assembled crops, permanent crops (olive groves, vineyards, apple orchards) or rice crops are some examples of the practices that should be compatible with “greening”, given the high ecological and conservation value that some of these agricultural systems may have.
Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 b (new) 14b. Notes that the general philosophy of the current CAP reform proposal points to a “greater market orientation” and towards “competitiveness”, calls for the dismantling or sever limitation of the instruments regulating production and the markets, as well as subjecting agriculture to the WTO rules, thereby promoting productavist models, which are intensive and export orientated, threaten and destroy the natural resources and biodiversity and are contradictory to the proclaimed “greening”;
Amendment 180 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 a (new) 16a. Draws attention to the fact that the increase in the demand for agricultural fuels and the consequent intensification of pressure for their production in developing countries is threatening biodiversity, particularly in developing countries, through the degradation and conversion of habitats and ecosystems such as wetlands and forests, among others;
Amendment 199 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 a (new) 17a. Warns of the fact that various highly valued species and habitats, from a conservation perspective, including those protected by Community legislation, are dependent on the agricultural environmental systems in which the man’s presence is a key factor; in this context, it highlights the importance in halting and reversing land abandonment, promoting the placement of people in rural areas; advocates increased support for small and medium sized agriculture, for family-based agriculture and for comprehensive agricultural practices, promoting good conservation practices of natural resources.
Amendment 204 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18.
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 a (new) 18a. Raises, as a concern, the Commission’s insistence on the centralised management of the CFP, often resulting in inadequate guidelines of the reality and with results that are very often contrary to what was intended, considers the amendment of the CFP should ensure conditions for effective proximity management – the one that best ensures the necessary environmental sustainability – that defined objectives of a general nature have the complete freedom and autonomy to provide the most appropriate instruments to achieve these objectives, taking into account local, regional and national specificities;
Amendment 210 #

Amendment 217 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Stresses that the aim of eliminating discards and by-catches of protected non- target species should be incorporated into the CFP and implemented as a matter of urgency, given the diversity of fisheries at European level and differentiated approach that it necessarily demands;
Amendment 232 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 a (new) 22a. Advocates the need for strategies to manage and eradicate alien invading species, which have spread to such a degree has turned them into a serious ecological problem; considers these strategies should not be restricted to only those species considered a “priority”, as advocated by the Commission in its communication;
Amendment 235 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 b (new) 22b. Calls on Member States to monitor and report regularly to the Commission and the other Member States on imports of exotic species into its territory; calls for greater restrictions on the importation and private possession of endangered species, such as primates, reptiles and amphibians;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 a (new) 27a. Advocates for greater Community accountability for the protection of the natural resources in the Natura 2000 Network, especially in terms of its financing;
Amendment 272 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 b (new) 27b. Notes the difficulties experienced by several Members States in the management of areas included in the Natura 2000 Network, due to the lack of a specific financial instrument aimed at the management of the areas included in the Natura 2000 Network, which complements the inclusion of biodiversity concerns in the sectoral policies;
Amendment 285 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 a (new) 28a. Proposes holding an annual tripartite meeting between the Council and the Commission and the European Parliament, to review the progress of the Strategy on biodiversity, as well as an annual conference on biodiversity involving non-governmental organisations from several Member States, European and national parliamentarians, paying special attention each year to a previously defined subject;

Proposal for a decision Recital 24 a (new) (24a) Further steps to enhance the sustainability of agriculture would be beneficial. Greater emphasis should be given to improving soil quality through the use of rotations, legumes, green manure and integrated crop-livestock systems. The use and pollution of water could be reduced by rearing animals in mixed and grazing systems rather than in industrial systems. Biodiversity could be promoted by the adoption of less intensified farming.

2012/0366(COD) Tobacco and related products: manufacture, presentation and sale. Approximation of Member States legislation
2013/05/14
ENVI
44 amendments...
Amendment 60 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 1 (1) Directive 2001/37/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2001 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning the manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco products lays down rules at Union level concerning tobacco products. Due to scientific, market and international developments, including the improved availability on the market of e-cigarettes, substantial changes are to be made to that Directive. For the sake of clarity it is appropriate to repeal Directive 2001/37/EC and to replace it by a new Directive.
Amendment 69 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 8 (8) In accordance with Article 114(3) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter: ‘Treaty’), a high level of health protection should be taken as a basis, regard being had, in particular, to any new developments based on scientific facts. Tobacco products are not ordinary commodities and in view of the particularly harmful effects of tobacco, health protection should be given high importance, in particular to reduce smoking prevalence among young people
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) The lack of a harmonised approach on ingredients regulation affects the functioning of the internal market and impacts on the free movement of goods across the EU and impedes an effective harmonised investigation at EU level on the health effects and attractiveness of tobacco products. Some Member States have adopted legislation or entered into binding agreements with the industry allowing or prohibiting certain ingredients or their combination. As a result, some ingredients are regulated in some Member States, but not in others. Member States are also taking different approaches as regards additives integrated in the filter of cigarettes as well as additives colouring the tobacco smoke. Without harmonisation, the obstacles on both the safeguard of citizens' health and the internal market are expected to increase in the coming years taking into account the implementation of the FCTC and its guidelines and considering experience gained in other jurisdictions outside the Union. The guidelines on Articles 9 and 10 FCTC call in particular for the removal of ingredients that increase palatability, create the impression that the tobacco products have health benefits, are associated with energy and vitality or have colouring properties.
Amendment 115 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 17 (17) Certain additives are used to create the impression that tobacco products have health benefits, present reduced health hazards or increase mental alertness and physical performance. Other additives such as sugar are used to mitigate or to improve the flavour and taste of tobacco products in order to enable easier consumption. These additives should be prohibited in order to ensure uniform rules and a high level of health protection.
Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 18 Amendment 137 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 22 (22) The labelling provisions also need to be adapted to new scientific evidence. For example the indication of the yields for tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide on cigarette packets have proven to be misleading as it makes consumers believe that certain cigarettes are less harmful than others. Evidence also suggests that large combined health warnings with both clear pictorial and text warnings are more effective than text-only warnings. In this light combined health warnings should become mandatory throughout the Union and cover significant and visible parts of the packet surface. A minimum size should be set for all health warnings to ensure their visibility and effectiveness.

Proposal for a directive Recital 34 (34) Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 November 2001 on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use provides a legal framework to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of medicinal products including nicotine containing products. A significant number of nicotine-containing products were already authorised under this regulatory regime. The authorisation takes into account the nicotine content of the product in question.
