Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 2
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.1 – paragraph 2
Meeting the goals of sustainable development, guaranteeing the production and consumption of safe and healthy food, promoting sustainable practices in agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry, combating soil consumption, ensuring access to clean water, soil and air for all, cleaning up the seas and oceans, preserving and restoring the planet’s vital natural systems and environment requires that we harness the potential of research and innovation. But the pathways for the transition to sustainability and ways to overcome resilient barriers are hardly understood. Making the transition to sustainable consumption and production and restoring planetary health requires investing in technologies, new business models, and social and environmental innovation. This creates new opportunities for a sustainable, resilient, innovative and responsible European economy, boosting resource efficiency, productivity and competitiveness, and generating jobs and growth.

Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.3 – paragraph 2 – indent 9 a (new)
- Land use; as soil formation is an extremely slow process, soil can essentially be considered as a non- renewable resource. Because of its importance in socio-economic and environmental terms, soil should be protected because it provides us with food, biomass and raw materials; it serves as a platform for human activities; It is an element of the landscape and cultural heritage, and plays a central role as a habitat and gene pool; It stores, filters and transforms many substances, including water, nutrients and carbon.

Amendment 189 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1
Annex I – part II – point 5 – point 5.2 – point 5.2.4 – paragraph 1
Seas and oceans' natural capital and ecosystem services offer significant socio- economic and welfare benefits. This potential is at risk because of the severe pressure from human and natural stressors such as pollution, overfishing, climate change, sea-level rise and extreme weather events. To prevent seas and oceans from reaching a point of no return and in order to promote the value chains of the blue economy, it is necessary to strengthen our knowledge and understanding in order to sustainably manage, protect and restore marine and coastal ecosystems and prevent marine pollution, in a context of an improved and responsible ocean governance framework. This will also include research to sustainably unlock the vast and unexploited economic potential of seas and oceans aiming at producing more food without increasing pressures on them, and also contribute to alleviate pressure on land, freshwater and ocean resources. There is a need for partnering approaches, including sea basin and macro-regional strategies, extending beyond the EU (e.g. in the Mediterranean, the Baltic, the Black Sea, the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and in the Indian Ocean); and for contributing to International Ocean Governance commitments, initiatives like the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and commitments linked to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
