Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 a (new) (6a) A comprehensive sectoral investigation of the whole food supply chain should be undertaken to identify any abuses of the power of the demand side in the sector; marketing at below purchase price should be banned throughout the Community.
Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 a (new) (8a) In order to strengthen producers, the payment deadline for all kinds of milk products (cheese, fresh products, butter, preserved milk products, milk powder, whey powder, etc.) should not in any instance exceed the use-by date of the product marketed and, in the case of more durable products, should not exceed 30 days. It should not be possible to waive this rule contractually, and it should be observed consistently at all stages in the trading chain.
Amendment 86 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 b (new) (8b) In order to support producers, supply contracts for all kinds of milk products (cheese, fresh products, butter, preserved milk products, milk powder, whey powder, etc.) between dairies and the food trade or intermediaries or industrial processors which are concluded for longer than six months should include a provision limiting fixed prices to six months. Long- term supply contracts should lay down minimum quantities of which delivery is to be taken and maximum quantities to be supplied, binding on both parties.
Amendment 87 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 c (new) (8c) In order to support producers effectively it is essential that, in sales contracts relating to all kinds of milk products (cheese, fresh products, butter, preserved milk products, milk powder, whey powder, etc.), the real net/net price should be clearly established for the product concerned per kg, taking account of all price adjustments such as rebates, discounts, advertising cost supplements, brokerage, del credere commissions, loyalty premiums, volume discounts, target quantity premiums, shop opening premiums, analysis cost and labour cost supplements, freight cost supplements, commissioning cost supplements, flat-rate contractual penalties for any shortcomings in performance without proof of real costs, etc., and that this obligation cannot be waived by individual contract. The ultimate aim is to make settlements on a net/net basis subject to conditions clear to both parties.
Amendment 121 #
Recital 14 a (new) (14a) With reference to the European Parliament resolution of 5 May 2010 on ‘agriculture in areas with natural handicaps: a special health check’, it is particularly important that, in future too, measures should be taken in certain areas where there are no alternatives to the burdensome forms of production and products established there (e.g. mountain regions, Nordic regions, grassland regions, etc.) to preserve milk production, in particular, in these areas even after the milk quota system has ceased to operate. Without a functioning milk sector, it will not be possible to preserve farmland in these areas. These measures include, inter alia, marketing measures and measures to protect geographical origin, traditional processing and recipes, traditional specialities and the quality specifications of milk products.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references. Therefore direct income support should be more equitably distributed between Member States, by reducing the link to historical references and having regard to the overall context of the Union budget. To ensure a more equal distribution of direct support, while taking account of the differences that still exist in wage levels and input costs, the levels of direct support per hectare should be progressively adjusted. Member States with direct payments below the level of 90 % of the average should close one third of the gap between their current level and this level.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 Amendment 12 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 (21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references. Therefore direct income support should be more equitably distributed between Member States, by reducing the link to historical references and having regard to the overall context of the Union budget. To ensure a more equal distribution of direct support, while taking account of the differences that still exist in wage levels and input costs, the levels of direct support per hectare should be progressively adjusted. Member States with direct payments below the level of 90 % of the average should close one third of the gap between their current level and this level.

Amendment 146 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 25 (25) Forestry is an integral part of rural development and support for sustainable and climate friendly land use should encompass forest area development and sustainable management of forests. During the 2007-2013 programming period a variety of measures covered different types of support for forestry investments and management. In the interest of simplification but also of allowing beneficiaries to design and realise integrated projects with increased added value, a single measure should cover all types of support for forestry investments and management. The information shall refer to: This measure should cover the extension and improvement of forest resources through afforestation of land and creation of agro-forestry systems combining extensive agriculture with forestry systems, restoration of forests damaged by fire or other natural disasters and relevant prevention measures, investments in new forestry technologies and in the processing and marketing of forest products, investments in the preparation and storage of forestry biomass and the sowing of areas with multiannual energy crops aimed at improving the economic, innovative and environmental performance of forest holders and non remunerative investments which improve ecosystem and climate resilience and environmental value of forest ecosystems. Support should avoid distorting competition and be market neutral. As a result limitations should be imposed relating to the size and legal status of beneficiaries. Preventive actions against fires should be in areas classified by Member States as medium or high fire risk. All preventive actions should be part of a forest protection plan. The occurrence of a natural disaster in the case of action for the restoration of damaged forest potential should be subject to the formal recognition by a scientific public organisation. The forestry measure should be adopted in the light of undertakings given by the Union and the Member States at international level, and be based on Member States’ national or sub-national forest plans or equivalent instruments which should take into account the commitments made in the Ministerial Conferences on the Protection of Forests in Europe. It should contribute to the implementation of the Union Forestry Strategy. In order to ensure that afforestation of agricultural land is in line with the aims of environmental policy the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the definition of certain minimum environmental requirements.

Similar rules should also apply to beneficiaries of funding from other EU funds (ERFD, ESF and EFF) so that this objective can also be achieved in other fields of EU policy. It enables citizens to participate more closely in the decision- making process and guarantees that the administration enjoys greater legitimacy and is more effective and more accountable to the citizen. It would also help local people to witness concrete examples of the provision of "public goods" by farming and underpin the legitimacy of state support for the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the personal accountability of the farmers for use of the public funds received will be reinforced.

Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Welcomes the new EU biodiversity strategy and notes the Commission recommendations for CAP reform, including clearly formulated measures under both the first and second pillars seeking to conserve and improve biodiversity; stresses in this connection the particular role played by farming, which has already made a great contribution to preserving the diversity of species and biotopes and will also make a crucial contribution to the success of the European biodiversity strategy;
Amendment 19 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Is convinced that the so-called 'greening' of the CAP should be implemented efficiently and unbureaucratically, without leading to discrimination against existing agri- environmental measures; calls, with regard to the necessary reduction in the administrative burden, for, inter alia, all CAP payments to continue to be underpinned by robust cross-compliance rules after 2014, which should be both transparent and as easy as possible to implement and monitor;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Stresses that only functioning, sustainable, broad-based and productive agriculture is in a position to provide the additional services demanded by society in the form of public assets; is therefore in favour of an approach that balances and integrates the introduction of additional environmental protection measures and the key role of the CAP in safeguarding efficient production;
Amendment 27 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 c (new) 2c. Recalls the key role played by the CAP in guaranteeing a secure supply of high- quality and affordable food for consumers; points out in this connection that the Commission proposal for the mandatory across-the-board designation of 7% of farmland as environmental focus areas is considered to be inappropriate and impracticable, particularly where these areas would no longer be available to produce food in productive regions;

2012/0297(COD) Assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment: provisions concerning the quality of the EIA
2013/05/13
PETI
18 amendments...
Amendment 52 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 (3) It is necessary to amend Directive 2011/92/EU in order to strengthen the quality of the environmental assessment procedure, streamline the various steps of the procedure and enhance coherence and synergies with other Union legislation and policies, as well as strategies and policies developed by Member States in areas of national competence. In many cases administrative procedures became too complicated and extended, causing delays and creating additional risks for the protection of the environment. In this respect, simplification and harmonization of the proceedings shall be one of the aims of the Directive. The suitability of creating a one-stop shop is to be taken into account with a view to allow coordinated assessment or joint procedures when several EIA's are required, for instance in cases of cross-border projects, as well as to define more specific criteria mandatory assessments.
Amendment 54 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 a (new) (3a) In the case of projects which may have a cross-border impact on the environment, the Member States involved should set up a joint one-stop shop where they should be represented on the basis of parity, which should be responsible for all procedural steps. For the final project approval, the consent of all Member States concerned must be obtained.
Amendment 55 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 3 b (new) (3b) The revised Directive 2011/92/EU should also ensure that environmental protection is improved, resource efficiency increased and sustainable growth supported in Europe. To this end, it is necessary to simplify and harmonise the prescribed procedures.
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 4 (4) Over the last decade, environmental issues, such as resource efficiency, biodiversity, climate change, and disaster risks, have become more important in policy making and should therefore also constitute critical elements in assessment and decision-making processes, especially for infrastructure projects. As the Commission has not determined guidelines for the application of the Directive on conservation of Historical and Cultural Heritage, the Commission shall propose a list of criteria and indications with a view to a better implementation of the Directive.
Amendment 71 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 (13) Experience has shown that in cases of civil emergency compliance with the provisions of Directive 2011/92/EU may have adverse effects, and provision should therefore be made to authorise Member States not to apply that Directive in appropriate cases. In this respect, the Directive shall take into account the provisions of the Espoo Convention, which, in cases of cross- border projects, oblige the participating States to notify and consult each other. In such cross-border projects, the Commission shall, where and when appropriate and possible, play a more pro- active and facilitating role.
Amendment 91 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b – introductory part2011/92/EU Article 1 – paragraph 2 – points fa and fb (new) (b) in paragraph 2, the following definition
Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b 2011/92/EU Article 1- paragraph 2 - point f a (new) 'joint procedures': under the Joint Procedure the competent authority shall issue one environmental impact assessment, integrating the assessments of one or more authorities without prejudice to other provisions of other relevant EU legislation.
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 1 – point b 2011/92/EU Article 1- paragraph 2 - point f b (new) 'simplification' means the reduction of forms, the creation of joint procedures and coordination tools in order to integrate the assessments made by the concerned authorities. Simplification also means to establish shared criteria, shorten deadlines for submitting reports and to strengthen objective and scientific evaluations.
Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 3 2011/92/EU Article 3 - point c (c) material assets, cultural heritage and the landscape in accordance with Article 3 TUE;

Depending on the nature, complexity, location and size of the proposed project, the competent authority may extend that deadline by
Amendment 116 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 5 2011/92/EU Article 5 - paragraph 1 ‘1. Where an environmental impact assessment must be carried out in accordance with Articles 5 to 10, the developer shall prepare an environmental report. The environmental report shall be based on the determination pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Article and include the information that may reasonably be required for making informed decisions on the environmental impacts of the proposed project, taking into account current knowledge and methods of assessment, the characteristics, technical capacity and location of the project, the characteristics of the potential impact
Amendment 120 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 5 (2) The competent authority, after having consulted the authorities referred to in Article 6(1) and the developer, shall determine the scope and level of detail of the information to be included by the developer in the environmental report, in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, if the operator so requests. In particular, it shall determine:

Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 6 – point b 2011/92/EU Article 6 - paragraph 7 The time-frames for consulting the public concerned on the environmental report referred to in Article 5(1) shall not be shorter than 30 days or longer than 60 days. In exceptional cases, where the nature, complexity, location or size of the proposed project so require, the competent authority may extend this time-frame by
Amendment 145 #

Amendment 153 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 9 a (new)2011/92/EU Article 11 – paragraphs 5 a and b (new) (9a) Article 11 is amended as follows: (a) the following paragraph 6 is added: ‘(6) Member States may lay down that a breach of procedural and formal rules shall not affect the lawfulness of a development consent if the decision would not have been likely to have been different without the breach. That is particularly the case where: (a) in cases where participation by the competent authorities or the public is required pursuant to this Directive, individuals or authorities were not given the opportunity to participate, but the interests at stake were insignificant or were taken into account in the decision, (b) the particulars referred to in Article 9(1) are incomplete, or (c) an announcement required pursuant to this Directive was made in a flawed manner, but the purpose for which the announcement was required was still fulfilled. This shall be without prejudice to the right of Member States to lay down in their domestic law that, in addition to a formal error, there must be a breach of the law.’ (b) the following paragraph 7 is added: ‘(7) Member States may lay down that procedural steps which have been carried out incorrectly may also be performed correctly after the decision has been adopted if the procedural error is not serious and does not affect the fundamentals of the project. Member States shall ensure that the competent authorities also take a fresh decision, whose outcome remains open, in the event of subsequent rectification of a procedural step in which an error has occurred.’
