Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Recalls in particular the essential objectives in combating climate change and stresses the importance of setting a clear medium-term target of a 205%-340% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, as agreed in the roadmap adopted at the UN's Bali conference on climate change in 2007, and a long-term reduction target of 560%- 80% by 2050, in order to achieve a 50% probabilitymaintaining the focus ofn restricting the increase in average global temperature to 2°C over pre-industrial levels;

Paragraph 30
30. Suggests that the Commission rethink the notdevelop scenarions of an fixed quotas for biofuels anused instead develop flexible scenarios transport which take account not only of the growing worldwide need for agricultural land for food and feedstuffs but also of the questionand the impact on water resources but also of the need to import biofuels into the EU, with a view to meeting the requirements of individual mobility and goods transport in future;
Amendment 215 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 71
Paragraph 71
71. Calls for the rejection of the fundamental principle of 100% auctioning of allowances; takes the view that free allocation up to a limit value (benchmark) set on the basis of the best available technology is more useful, since this the only way to ensure that a sufficient stock of capital remains in the company to enable it to make the necessary investments in increasing efficiencyAcknowledges the principle of 100% auctioning of allowances as the general principle;
Amendment 237 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 79
Paragraph 79
79. Calls on the Commission to consider, without prejudging the outcome, the explicit inclusion of agriculture in a future integrated European climate policy and the elaboration of binding reduction targets for the emission of greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous oxide, from the agriculture sector, exploiting all existing potential;
Amendment 246 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 84
Paragraph 84
84. Takes the view that, if agricultural practice is to take account of climate change, new land- and water management know-how needs to be imparted, and that vocational training for young farmers should cover the effects of climate change or the climatic relevance of agricultural production;
Amendment 248 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 84 a (new)
Paragraph 84 a (new)
84a. Recognises that growing cereals and soya as feed for livestock is responsible for substantial greenhouse gas emissions; takes the view that a move away from industrial livestock production to more near natural rearing systems should be encouraged as these require less use of cereals and soya as feed and have significant environmental benefits;
Amendment 252 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 85
Paragraph 85
85. Calls for feed rations in dairy and meat production to be reviewed, and where necessary improved, with a view to achieving a reduction in methane formation in the rumen of ruminants without restricting productivity; however, considers that dietary changes that are likely to have an adverse effect on the health and welfare of any of the animals concerned must not be introduced;
Amendment 274 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 97
Paragraph 97
97. Takes the view that strategic planning and integrated water management based on present and futureresources based on supply measures and hierarchy of water needuses are key to coping successfully with the effects of climate change on the availableility and variability of water resources;
Amendment 277 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 98
Paragraph 98
98. Considers that integrated water resources management should comprise strategies for the improvement of water use efficiency, water saving, rationalisation and limitation of water consumption, and improved consumer awareness on sustainable water consumption, and should respond to issues concerning the collection and storage of rainwater in natural and artificial reservoirs, as well as to those relating to the risk and impact of floods and droughts; considers that action should be encouraged to establish an effective hierarchy of water uses and recalls that a demand-side approach should be preferred when managing water resources;
Amendment 281 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 99
Paragraph 99
99. Calls on the Commission to assume an important cross-border coordinating role in water management, particularly by network creation and funding of research into innovative technologies for increased water efficiency, the desalination of sea water, new irrigation systems and agricultural and urban water consumption, and for pilot projects to reduce damage from drought or flooding;
Amendment 513 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital BR
Recital BR
BR. whereas the availability of water resources, drinking water and other water supplies, water consumption and the treatment of waste water are closely linked to economic and social conditions,
Amendment 514 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital BS
Recital BS
BS. whereas the regional disparities in Europe with regard to available water resources, and the occurrence of floods and droughts, are being intensified still further by climate change,
