Paragraph 6
6. Recalls its resolution of 15 January 2020 on the European Green Deal, and its demand to the Commission to present, without delay, a proposal for a European legal framework based on due diligence to ensure sustainable and deforestation-free supply chains for products placed on the Union market, with a particular focus on tackling the main drivers of imported deforestation and instead encouraging local production and imports that do not create deforestation abroad;
Amendment 273 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. stresses that an economic model based entirely on free trade is not ecologically sustainable; points out the ecological importance of limiting imports of products that can be produced, or for which substitutes can be produced, within the Union with a small carbon footprint and on the basis of effective standards, the application of which can be monitored; points out that it is desirable to encourage the production of endemic oil seeds and protein crops within the Union, rather than importing them and actually contributing to deforestation; stresses that the EU is capable of ensuring its self- sufficiency in meat and that imports of meat from outside Europe should be strictly limited, which will curb the expansion of mono-cropping for livestock feed and the encroachment of pasture land onto forest zones;

Annex I – point 2 – paragraph 4
The proposal should cover all commodities that are most frequently associated with deforestation, natural forest degradation, and natural ecosystem conversion and degradation. These commodities should be listed in an annex to the proposal and comprise at least palm oil, soy, meat, leather, cocoa, coffee, rubber, and maize, coconut and its derivatives, paper and pulp, and biofuels and all intermediate or final products that are derived from these commodities, and products that contain these commodities. In the event that the derived products contain input from more than one commodity covered by the proposal, due diligence should be performed with respect to each of these commodities. Commodities covered by Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council2 (‘the EU Timber Regulation’) should be integrated into the scope of the proposal within three years from the date of entry into force of the proposal. _________________ 2 Regulation (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 laying down the obligations of operators who place timber and timber products on the market Text with EEA relevance (OJ L 295, 12.11.2010, p. 23).
Amendment 394 #
Motion for a resolution
Annex I – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 2
Annex I – point 3 – point 3.2 – paragraph 2
For that purpose, FERCs placed on the Union market, in raw form or as products derived from or containing such commodities, should not be harvested, extracted or produced from land that had the status on 1 January 2008 of natural forest or natural ecosystem, in accordance with the definition laid down in Section 3.3 “Definitions”, and still has that status, but where the land has been subject to changes amounting to degradation. It should only be legally possible to place on the Union market a commodity that has been harvested, extracted or produced in compliance with conservation objectives and it did not lead to the loss or degradation of ecosystem functions on or adjacent to the land from which it was harvested, extracted or produced. It should also be ensured that the land used has not recently undergone a change of use that has resulted in other crops being transferred to land that had the status of forest or natural ecosystem on 1 January 2008. The Global Forest Watch tool could be used for this purpose.
