Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) In order to give substance to the objectives of the CAP as established by Article 39 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), as well as to ensure that the Union adequately addresses its most recent challenges and international undertakings, it is appropriate to provide for a set of general objectives reflecting the orientations given in the Communication on ‘The Future of Food and Farming’. A set of specific objectives should be further defined at Union level and applied by the Member States in their CAP Strategic Plans. WhileIn order to strikinge a balance across the dimensions of sustainable development, in line with the impact assessment, these specific objectives should translate the general objectives ofMember States should strive to achieve all of these specific objectives for the CAP intofor more concrete priorities and take into account relevant Union legislation, particularly with regard to climate, energy and environment.

Amendment 90 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The CAP has been unable to reduce the agricultural sector's dependence on pesticides. Therefore, specific policy instruments are needed to change farmers' use of pesticides, such as national tax measures, cross-compliance between integrated plant health, as defined in Directive 2009/128 / EC, and the CAP or direct subsidies. Scientific studies have established that today's intensive use of pesticides contributes to the gradual decline of biodiversity in Europe and this is extremely worrying, particularly the loss of winged insects. Therefore, the transition to a more sustainable use of pesticides, including low-risk methods and products, should be promoted in European agriculture.

Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16 - point 1
As many rural areas in the Union suffer from structural problems such as lack of attractive employment opportunities, skill shortages, underinvestment in connectivity, infrastructures and essential services, as well as youth drain, it is fundamental to strengthen the socio-economic fabric in those areas, in line with the Cork 2.0. Declaration, particularly through job creation and generational renewal, by bringing the Commission's jobs and growth to rural areas, promoting social inclusion, generational renewal, increased integration of women into the rural economy and the development of ‘Smart Villages’ across the European countryside. As indicated in the Communication on ‘The Future of Food and Farming’, new rural value chains such as renewable energy, the emerging bio- economy, the circular economy, and ecotourism can offer good growth and job potential for rural areas. In this context, financial instruments and the use of the InvestEU guarantee can play a crucial role for ensuring access to financing and for bolstering the growth capacity of farms and enterprises. There is a potential for employment opportunities in rural areas for legally staying third country nationals, promoting their social and economic integration especially in the framework of Community-led Local Development strategies.

Amendment 136 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
(24) Member States should set farm advisory services for the purpose of improving the sustainable management and overall performance of agricultural holdings and rural businesses, covering economic, environmental and social dimensions, and to identify the necessary improvements as regards all measures at farm level provided for in the CAP Strategic Plans. These farm advisory services should help farmers and other beneficiaries of CAP support to become more aware of the relationship between farm management and land management on the one hand, and certain standards, requirements and information, including environmental and climate and animal welfare ones, on the other hand. The list of the latter includes standards applying to or necessary for farmers and other CAP beneficiaries and set in the CAP Strategic Plan, as well as those stemming from the legislation on water, on the sustainable use of pesticides, as well as the initiatives to combat antimicrobial resistance and the management of risks. In order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of the advice, Member States should integrate advisors within the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS), in order to be able to deliver up-to-date technological and scientific information developed by research and innovation.
