Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. draws attention to the progressive globalisation of economic processes, the rapid concentration and integration in the rest of the market chain, rising EU production standards and the concentration of investment in urban centres and sectors with higher rates of return; notes that these phenomena exacerbate the income disparity between agriculture and the rest of the economy, which is why the budgetary perspective for the CAP in the coming years should give priority to maintaining the highest possible level of profitability in agricultural production and the strongest possible position for farmers in supply chains;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. while welcoming the Commission’s aim to reduce the Union’s dependence on energy from third countries, firmly rejects its proposal to give Member States the possibility to deliver up to 12,5 % of the EAFRD through the Recovery and Resilience Facility to support investments under the RePowerEU chapter; feels that such a transfer endangers the achievement of the fundamental objectives of the CAP and that the need to reprogramme funds may cause delays and unnecessary administrative burdens; points out that the current Regulation on CAP strategic plans already allows for the financing of investments and measures similar to those proposed under the REPowerEU initiative, and that such expenditure may be included in the envelope for the environment and climate.

Expresses its grave concerns about the impact of the Russian war in Ukraine and its economic fallout as well as of the extreme weather events including severe and prolonged droughts on production and distribution in the agricultural sector and food markets; recalls that 2023 is the first year of the new common agricultural policy that will support Union farmers; believes that the crisis situation justifies the partial mobilisation of the new agricultural reserve by a minimum of EUR 10 million for young farmers; calls on the Commission to prepare pertinent exceptional measures in line with the relevant provisions in the basic act and to increase, as relevant, the amount to be mobilised;
