Amendment 40 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Insists also that the amounts for direct payments in Heading 2 should be left untouched; points out that this is crucial for the income situation of many farmers, particularly in times of crises, and that the absorption rate per year is almost 100 %; also stresses that the process of levelling direct payments between Member States, begun in the current financial perspective, must be completed as soon as possible; differences in production size and intensity from several decades ago cannot decide the level of support for realising current and future CAP objectives; levelling direct payment rates is essential for ensuring equal competition conditions in the EU’s single market, as well as for the sustainable exploitation of agricultural resources at EU level.

Draft opinion
Paragraph 17 a (new)
Paragraph 17 a (new)
17a. Notes that in other EU policies, significant changes which influence agriculture, the food production sector and rural areas are currently being planned and introduced; those changes concern, among others, trade policy and environment and climate policy; emphasises that the new requirements for the agri-food sector for meeting non- agricultural EU objectives should, in the future, be appropriately reflected in an increased CAP budget.
Amendment 178 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 29 a (new)
Paragraph 29 a (new)
29a. Calls also for direct payment appropriations under Heading 2 to be kept at their current level; points out that this is of key importance for the incomes of many farmers, in particular at a time of crisis, and that the annual takeup rate is close to 100%; stresses, at the same time, that the process of bringing direct payment rates in the Member States into line with one another, which began during the current MFF, must be completed as soon as possible; takes the view that differences in production volumes and intensity dating back several decades cannot form the basis for decisions on the level of support to be provided with a view to achieving current and future CAP objectives; believes the alignment of direct payment rates to be essential in order to ensure a level playing field on the single market and the sustainable use of agricultural resources throughout the EU;
