Amendments (4)

Amendment 116 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
5. Recommends introducing an effective forestry policy that promotes sustainable forestry management and production and does more to tap the potential of this industry, which is the one that makes the greatest contribution to carbon capture; considers that this policy should pay close attention to the different regional conditions for forestry, because there are different opportunities and threats for forest environments in northern and southern Europe;

Amendment 123 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6. Emphasises that nitrous oxide emissions can be cut significantly by making more limited and effective use of nitrogen fertilisers (precision farming), encouraging the use of organic fertilisers based on recovered waste (local biomass from intercropping, and forest waste), developing intermediate crops such as forage legumes and identifying new varieties with superior carbon and nitrogen capture potential; also points out that fertilisation using the residual mass from biogas production provides opportunities for organic precision fertilisation and thus the reduction of emissions;

Amendment 134 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
8. Emphasises that better animal manure storage and application systems and the processing of such manure in biogas factories are currently some of the most promising ways of reducing methane emissions, particularly in regions characterised by high-density livestock farming; considers that this biogas helps make agriculture self-sufficient in energy;

Amendment 143 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
10. Emphasises that the Union’s position as the leading importer of agricultural produce results in a higher carbon cost than that generated by European farms, owing to the lower environmental standards often found in non-EU countries coupled with long-distance transport emissions; takes the view that there is a need to inform consumers by means of appropriate carbon footprint labelling, to compensate European farmers fairly for their efforts to reduce emissions, and to encourage local farms to diversify (inter alia by developing EU production of plant proteins);deleted
