Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 19 a (new)
(19a) Soil plays a vital role in achieving the EU’s biodiversity objective. Its degradation has primarily local and regional causes and impact. Therefore, the principle of subsidiarity should consequently be respected. Member States are called upon to fulfil their obligations in terms of guaranteeing soil quality and keep the soil in good condition. Member States without soil protection legislation are urged to shoulder their responsibilities.

Amendment 174 #
Proposal for a decision
Annex 1 – point 23
23. To reduce the most significant man- made pressures on land, soil and other ecosystems in Europe, action will be taken to ensure that decisions relating to land use at all relevant levels give proper consideration to environmental as well as social and economic impacts. The Rio+20 Summit outcome called for a 'land degradation neutral world'. The EU and Member States should reflect on how best to make such a commitment operational within their respective competencies as well as to address soil quality issues within a binding legal framework42. Targets will also be set for sustainable land use and soil. __________________ 42 COM(2006) 232 (OJ C 332 of 30.12.2006) proposes a Directive establishing a framework for the protection of soil and amending Directive 2004/35/EC.deleted
