Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 3 (3) The rights inherent to citizenship of the Union are incorporated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

Chapter V of the Charter sets down

Proposal for a decision Recital 15 (15) Awareness of the electoral rights guaranteed to Union citizens is of primary importance in this respect.

2011/0280(COD) Common agricultural policy (CAP): direct payments to farmers under support schemes 2014-2020

Amendment 129 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 8 Amendment 132 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) In order to take into account specific new elements and to guarantee the protection of the rights of beneficiaries, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission for the purpose of laying down
Amendment 164 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) The distribution of direct income support among farmers is characterised by the allocation of disproportionate amounts of payments to a rather small number of large beneficiaries. Due to economies of size, larger beneficiaries do not require the same level of unitary support for the objective of income support to be efficiently achieved. Moreover, the potential to adapt makes it easier for larger beneficiaries to operate with lower levels of unitary support. It is therefore fair to introduce a system for large beneficiaries where the support level is gradually reduced and ultimately capped to improve the distribution of payments between farmers. Such system should however take into account salaried labour intensity to avoid disproportionate effects on large farms with high employment numbers. Those maximum levels should not apply to payments granted to agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment since the beneficial objectives they pursue could be diminished as a result. In order to make capping effective, Member States should establish some criteria in order to avoid abusive operations by farmers seeking to evade its effects. The proceeds of the reduction and capping of payments to large beneficiaries should remain in the Member States where they were generated and should be used for financing p
Amendment 192 #
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.
Amendment 241 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) One of the objectives of the new CAP is the enhancement of environmental performance through a mandatory "greening" component of direct payments which will support agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment applicable throughout the Union. For that purpose, Member States should use part of their national ceilings for direct payments to grant an annual payment, on top of the basic payment, for compulsory practices to be followed by farmers addressing, as a priority, both climate and environment policy goals. Those practises should take the form of simple, generalised, non-contractual and annual actions that go beyond cross- compliance and are linked to agriculture such as crop diversification, maintenance of permanent grassland and ecological focus areas.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 38 (38) A simple and specific scheme for small farmers should be put in place in order to reduce the administrative costs linked to the management and control of direct support. For that purpose, a lump- sum payment replacing all direct payments should be established. Rules seeking simplification of formalities should be introduced by reducing, amongst others, the obligations imposed on small farmers such as those related to the application for support, to agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment, to cross-compliance and to controls as laid down in Regulation (EU) No […] [HZR] without endangering the achievement of the overall objectives of the reform, it being understood that Union legislation as referred to in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No […] [HZR] applies to small farmers.

Amendment 463 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 a (new) (28a) In some Member States the degree to which producers are organised is particularly slight, and producer organisations are weak, not to say non- existent. Taking into account their specific situation and the extent to which producer organisations have developed on their territory, Member States may choose to have competent national authorities exercise the responsibilities assigned to producer organisations.
Amendment 486 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 83 (83) Specific instruments will still be needed
Amendment 489 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 83 a (new) (83a) This Regulation should ensure, as it is essential to do, that Member States can recover beet production quotas for sugar refining, a point applying particularly to countries which have lost their quotas and now depend entirely on imports for their raw material for processing; it should, in addition, guarantee fair access to raw materials for sugar production.
Amendment 586 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 145 a (new) (145a) In recent years tens of thousands of milk producers in all parts of the EU have been forced to cease production because of ruinous producer prices that do not offset production costs. The present state of the milk sector is inextricably linked to its liberalisation and to the increase in production quotas with a view to their abolition.
Amendment 587 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 145 b (new) (145b) Wine-growing is a core farming activity, especially in southern European countries, and the projected abolition of vine planting rights is adding to the risk that the agricultural products concerned will die out.

Average annual production shall be calculated with reference to the three preceding years or to a three-year average based on the last five years, excluding the highest and the lowest figure; (c) “local products” means products produced within not more than 150 km of the place where they are consumed.

The Commission shall assess the need for any adjustments and adaptations to the current system and shall submit a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down special arrangements for regions in which wine-growing is the main activity with a view to preserving the distinctive characteristics of the grapevine products of those regions; the time-frame shall be such as to enable that Regulation to enter into force on 1 July 2014. Article 100c Quotas in the sugar sector 1. The existing quota system in the sugar sector shall remain in force beyond 2015. The quotas shall, as soon as possible, be adjusted to the relative installed and/or potential production capacity levels of the Member States. 2.

On the basis of the findings of the study referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall, in due course, submit proposals establishing quota systems in other sectors, where this is necessary in order to enable production to be spread evenly in the Member States, taking into account their individual possibilities and potential while allowing scope for differentiated development in Member States with higher deficits in the sectors concerned.

Amendment 66 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a.

Amendment 147 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 24 a (new) 24a. Believes that the EU’s response to global threats and challenges can in no case be of a military nature; underlines the importance of tackling the root causes of instability by means of development policies that are in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other socio-economic, political and cultural measures which can create an environment conducive to preventing the resurgence of conflict, and which aim to eliminate poverty, foster economic, social and cultural development, create institutional and administrative capacities, improve the quality of life of the population and consolidate the rule of law;
Amendment 158 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 a (new) 27a.

Amendment 222 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 42 d (new) 42d. Stresses that while clauses concerning democracy and human rights have been included in political framework agreements with third countries since 1995, and in agreements concluded with more than 120 countries, these clauses have mostly remained a dead letter; is convinced that these clauses, which should constitute a legally binding commitment on the part of the EU and partner countries, must be complemented by an operational enforcement mechanism to give them concrete form; considers there is a need for ex-ante monitoring mechanisms prior to the conclusion of a framework agreement, and on which such conclusion is made conditional as a fundamental part of the agreement, and for ex-post monitoring mechanisms which enable tangible action to be taken in response to infringements of these clauses, including the possible suspension of an agreement;
Amendment 228 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 44 a (new) 44a. Calls once again on the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission and the Member States to endeavour to establish a common position for the European Union concerning the action to be taken on the report by the UN fact-finding mission headed by Judge Goldstone on the Gaza conflict in the south of Israel, and to endeavour to ensure the effective implementation of its recommendations, including those concerning the assignment of responsibilities for all violations of international law, including alleged war crimes; calls in this connection for the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement;

Amendment 290 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 68 a (new) 68a. Regrets that human rights violations still remain a painful problem in the occupied areas of Cyprus. Thousands of refugees, who have been forced to abandon their homes and properties, are being denied by the Turkish military forces to live in their homeland until today. Moreover, the families and relatives of missing persons are still denied the right to have an answer about the fate of their loved ones as Turkey does not facilitate the access to military zones and relevant reports from archives for the investigations of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus.
