Recital 3
(3) The European Parliament resolution of 12 February 2019 on the implementation of Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides41noted that the Union must act without delayto transition to a more sustainable use of pesticides and called on the Commission to propose an ambitious Union-wide binding target for the reduction of pesticide use. The European Parliament re-affirmed its call for binding reduction targets in its resolution of 20 October 2021 on a Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally- friendly food system42. However, the European Parliament in its resolution of 20 October 2021 on a Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system avoided setting a numerical Union-wide binding target for the reduction of pesticide use. The European Parliament also called on the Commission to clarify how it will deal with individual Member States’ contributions to Union-wide binding target, ensure a level playing field, as well as how it will clarify the baselines for these reduction targets, taking into account the different starting points, efforts undertaken and characteristics of each Member State. _________________ 41 P8_TA(2019)0082, 12 February 2019. 42 P9_TA(2021)0425, 20 October 2021.

Recital 15
(15) In order to achieve the Union-wide reduction targets (‘Union 2030 reduction targets’) as well as national 2030 reduction targets, it is necessary to increase the availability and use of biological control and other non-chemical alternatives. Availability of these alternatives will incentivise the adoption of low pesticide- input pest management practices such as organic farming. When justified by shortage of available alternatives to chemical plan protection products and to ensure food security, Member States are allowed to decrease their national reduction targets.

(20a) In order not to burden small farms with additional sustainability requirements already set in the National CAP Strategic Plans, integrated pest management shall be mandatory only for professional users, whose size of agricultural holdings is above the average size of the agricultural holding in the Member State. Member States should also be allowed to put additional minimum thresholds for the mandatory application of integrated pest management with setting the minimum thresholds of hectares of arable land and land under permanent crops per crop type.
