Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Takes note of the Commission communication on the Sustainable Europe Investment Plan (COM(2020)0021), but emphasises that the elements proposed within it, including the Just Transition Fund, depend entirely on an ambitious MFF agreement; expresses its deep concern that the front-loading of EU budget funds to cover new spending requirements stemming from the COVID- 19 pandemic may deprive EU farmers of funding in the latter years of the MFF, which would be particularly damaging if they are expected to comply with new obligations under the Green Deal; underlines that the transition towards sustainability shall be just, fair and responsible, involving all economic and social sectors to avoid any particular pressure on the agriculture sector;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Points out that the recent COVID- 19 outbreak has revealed the strategic role that agriculture plays in providing safe and high-quality food at affordable prices and kept the sector running, avoiding any food crisis; underlines the crucial role of the 'vital workers' in the agriculture and food processing sector during the crisis and insists that these workers shall benefit from proper and safe working conditions; insists that efforts made by EU farmers to produce food more sustainably must not be undermined by the import of products from third countries that do not meet the EU’s food safety, environmental protection, animal welfare and social standards.
