D. whereas these imports represent the equivalent of 20 million hectares cultivated outside the EU, or more than 10% of the EU's arable land, which in some countries has lpartly contributed to unsustainable farming on sensitive grassland and deforestation of rainforest areas, with negative effects such as soil erosion and the depletion of water resources and biodiversity,
Amendment 27 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas the high degree of imports of protein crops for animal feed has made the entire EU livestock sector extremely vulnerable to price volatility and trade distortionsextensive import of high- protein content feed components and protein crops contributed to the vulnerability of the entire EU livestock sector and increased price volatility, reflecting the consequences of increasingly liberalised agricultural markets,

Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. In view of the improvements to feed safety and traceability, calls on the Commission to conduct a study, which examines the necessity of maintaining the ban on animal protein sources for non- ruminants, covering also the possible introduction of ‘sleeping requirements’ in animal health and food safety;

Recital U
Recital U
U. whereas, instead of further encouraging cereal and maize monocultures for feed and energy production, the use of extended crop rotation systems, on-farm mixed cropping and grass-clover mixtures has greater environmental and agronomic benefits, since the growing of leguminous crops as part of a rotation system can prevent diseases and, regenerate the soil and have a beneficial effect on the population of pollinators,
