Amendments (11)
Amendment 22 #
Recital B
B. whereas, in order to adequately protect pollinators, the presence of pesticide residues in the habitat of pollinators will need to be strongly reduced;
Amendment 32 #
Recital E

Amendment 71 #
Paragraph 3
3. However, considers that the Initiative fails to sufficiently address the main root causes of pollinators’ decline, which include land-use changes and loss of habitats, intensive agricultural management practices, plant protection products, diseases, climate change and invasive alien species; considers that the implementation of "Priority II: Tackling the causes of pollinator decline" is of the utmost urgency;
Amendment 91 #
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that boosting biodiversity and thus fostering the occurrence of pollinators' habitats on the agricultural land must become a key aim in the development of the future Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which must seek to reduce pesticide use; and promote good agricultural practice and integrated pest management;
