Amendment 32 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 b (new)
Paragraph 1 b (new)
1b. Notes that innovative technologies in the area of animal feed are promising, but in some cases have not yet been authorised for use;

Paragraph 1 c (new)
1c. Notes that methane sources are diffuse and very variable across Member States;
Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 d (new)
Paragraph 1 d (new)
1d. Notes that that represents a significant challenge as regards measurement, reporting and verification and must be taken into account when mitigation actions are disseminated and reported on;
Amendment 46 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 e (new)
Paragraph 1 e (new)
1e. Notes that methane is a short-lived greenhouse gas;
Amendment 49 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 f (new)
Paragraph 1 f (new)
1f. Notes that, because atmospheric methane is short-lived, constant methane emissions do not cause additional warming, but, rather, maintain the existing warming effect;
Amendment 51 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 g (new)
Paragraph 1 g (new)
Amendment 52 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 h (new)
Paragraph 1 h (new)
1h. Notes that, with regard to methane, the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report gives different values for the 100- year warming potential (GWP100) for biogenic methane (GWP100: 28) and fossil methane (GWP100: 30) and that the values are presented differently in the IPCC report;
Amendment 68 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Highlights that research and investment in mitigation measures and technologies is of paramount importance; considers that there is great potential in adapting diet of and developing feed additives for ruminant and bovine species, which could reduce methane emissions without having negative effects on the livestock sector; highlights the need to screen all measures so as to establish whether they are compatible with the other objectives of a sustainable agricultural policy, such as, for instance, animal welfare;
Amendment 145 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Stresses that the upcoming methane regulatory measures should strive to achieve emissions reductions as cost- effectively and efficiently as possible and provide flexibility for companies to achieve performance standards in an optimal, technologically neutral manner, and at the lowest possible cost;
Amendment 172 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Highlights the fact that the overall strategy for reducing emissions from livestock farming must also take into account possible effects on international agricultural trade and the possible transfer of emissions to third countries;
Amendment 181 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6b. Calls on the Commission to take account of the difference between biogenic and fossil methane emissions in the design and implementation of the methane strategy;
Amendment 253 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Stresses that technologies and practices to limit methane emissions from agriculture are developing at a fast pace; calls on the Commission to ensure that proven effective and cost-efficient innovations are quickly implemented in the EU and integrated into EU agriculture policies; stresses that farmers need a rapid implementation and use of new and existing methane-reducing technologies, as well as continuous training and exchange of best practices;
Amendment 279 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. stresses that tightening the framework conditions for methane emissions in the agricultural sector, and in particular in the livestock sector, must not endanger food security; points out that shifting livestock production abroad and the associated imports are counterproductive;
Amendment 311 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Underlines the key role that the EU should play in supporting research, innovation and development, as well as in scaling up new technologies to help address methane emissions from livestock agriculture, e.g. through feed additives for ruminants and improved processing of manure, while protecting animal health and welfare; points especially to the need for multigenerational studies on feed additives; points in particular to the need for multi-generation studies of feed additives;
