16 Amendments of Cristian-Silviu BUŞOI related to 2018/2793(RSP)
Amendment 3 #
Recital A
A. whereas, while a lot of research as regards the reasons for pollinator decline has already been done, the implementation of these findings leaves a lot to and should be continued, such as PoshBee: a pan- european assessment, monitoring, and mitigation of stressors on the health of bees, the Horizon 2020 funded project by the European Commission, as well as work done by the Coloss association for honey bee dresired; earch to improve the well- being of bees;
Amendment 12 #
Recital B
B. whereas, in order to adequately protect pollinators, the presence of pesticide residues in the habitat of pollinators will need to be strongly reneeds to stay within the limits as defined in the risk assessment done for the authorisation for each plant protection producedt;
Amendment 27 #
Recital E
E. whereas however, several Member States notified emergency derogations regarding the use of these neonicotinoids on their territory; whereas notifications of Member States regardingthe subsequent EFSA assessment for those emergency authorisations are often of very poor quality and are not made publicgiven in 7 countries identified 23 out of 40 emergency authorisation given as being justified; whereas notifications by Member States to the European Commission have to be done in line with Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009;
Amendment 32 #
Recital G
G. whereas connected pollinator habitats, such as buffer strips and grassy waterways, can contribute to erosion control; and in general to an improvement of biodiversity
Amendment 41 #
Recital J
J. whereas this mostly gratuitous pollination service is only possible because the main revenue source for beekeepers is the sale of honey; whereas imports of adulterated honey threatenhoney from non-EU producers challenge the economic basis of beekeeping in the EU;
Amendment 48 #
Paragraph 3
3. However, considers that the Initiative fails to sufficiently address the main root causes of pollinators’ decline, which include land-use changes and loss of habitats, impact of pathogens, parasites such as the varroa mite and diseases; intensive agricultural management practices, plant protection products, disease environmental contaminants, climate change and invasive alien species; considers that the implementation of "Priority II: Tackling the causes of pollinator decline" is of the utmost urgency;
Amendment 53 #
Paragraph 5
5. Highlights the importance of adopting a holistic approach and of evaluating the impact of existing policy measures in order to effectively measure and tackle theany decline of pollinators in the Union;
Amendment 60 #
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that boosting biodiversity and thus fostering the occurrence of pollinators' habitats on the agricultural land must become a key aim in the development of the future Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which must seek to reduce pesticide usepromote good agricultural practice and integrated pest management;
Amendment 65 #
Paragraph 9
9. Stresses that the reduction of the risk of pesticide use should therefore be set as a target in Member States’ strategic plans, and pesticide risk reduction should be set as a ‘common indicator’ with which to monitor success;
Amendment 71 #
Paragraph 10
10. Stresses that according to the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Directive (128/2009/EC), non-chemical methods of pest control should be used as a priority, to replace pesticides, with a view to protecting pollinatorsthe use of integrated pest management and of alternative approaches or techniques such as non-chemical alternatives to pesticides should be promoted;
Amendment 80 #
Paragraph 11
11. Calls on the Commission to propose legislation prohibiting the production, sale and use of allfully enforce the existing use restrictions for neonicotinoid-based pesticides throughout the Union without derogation;
Amendment 83 #
Paragraph 12
12. Calls on the Commission to set detailed rules for andeffectively implement and enforce the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 to ensure a minimum standard of notifications on emergency authorisations of pesticides, including the need for Member States to provide complete and detailed explanations, and to make those notifications public;
Amendment 86 #
Paragraph 13
13. Calls on the Commission and the Member States in the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed to adoptconvene without delay the updated bee guidance used by EFSA in its recent review of three neonicotinoida meeting with experts from EFSA and EU Member States to agree on a revised bee guidance document with highly protective and implementable protection goals;
Amendment 88 #
Paragraph 15
15. Calls on the Commission to include in the objectives of the CAP limits to the objective of increasing productivity and to regulate intensive farming practto sustainably increasing productivity in conventional and organic farming practices, while increasing efforts to improve biodiversity and ecosystem services, in order to improve the habitat and forage space for bees;
Amendment 99 #
Paragraph 17
17. Calls on the Commission and Member States to support the beekeeping sector by reinforcing import inspections in order to avoid imports of adulterated honeyhoney that does not conform to EU standards;
Amendment 110 #
Paragraph 20
20. Considers it appropriate to support the development of low-risk pesticides that comply with the authorisation requirements and are harmless to pollinators;
