CE marked fertilising products (debate)
Amendments (48)
Amendment 49 #
Proposal for a regulation
Title 1
Title 1
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL laying down rules on the making available on the market of CE marked fertilisingers and improving nutrition efficiency products (INEP) and amending Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EC) No 1107/2009 (Text with EEA relevance) ("fertiliser" should be removed throughout the text for those products intended to improve nutrition efficiency of plants.)
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Products withplaced on the market which have an intended use for one or more functions, at least one of which is covered by the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, shoulare plant protection products and remain under the control tailored for such products and provided for by that Regulation. Where such products also have the function of a fertilising product, it would be misleading to provide for their CE marking under this Regulation, since the making available on the market of a plant protection product is contingent on a product authorisation valid in the Member State in question. Therefore, such products should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation.

Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Contaminants in CE marked fertilising products, such as cadmium, can potentially pose a risk to human and animal health and the environment as they accumulate in the environment and enter the food chain. Their content should therefore be limited in such products. Furthermore, impurities in CE marked fertilising products derived from bio-waste, in particular polymers but also metal and glass, should be either prevented or limited to the extent technically feasible by detection of such impurities in separately collected bio-waste before processing.

4a. For the purposes of CMC 10 in Annex II, the Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 43 to define the requirements for the standard for the biodegradability criteria and the development of an appropriate testing method for biodegradation. These requirements and testing method shall be evaluated towards latest scientific evidence and shall be set out as of [Publications office, please insert the date occurring five years after the date of application of this Regulation].
