Draft opinion
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the European Parliament has gained the power to shape the Union's agricultural policy, not only as regards multiannual agricultural programmes but also by amending the annual budget for agriculture, thus giving the Parliament the responsibility of ensuring a fair and sustainable common agricultural policy,
Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas the new CAP will have to face new and demanding challenges with a view not merely to meeting the food consumption needs of European citizens with adequate quality products, meeting the challenges with regards to world food security, ensuring the functioning of the agricultural markets and supporting the income of the agricultural sector but also preserving the environment in all parts of Europe and responding to climate change,
Amendment 9 #

Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. DWhile ensuring that European Common Agriculture Policy stays common, draws attention to the fact that in order to avoid inevitable disparities between Member States it is necessary to maintain a CAP financed entirely from the European budget; ensuring that agriculture can be practiced in all parts of the EU, particularly with regards to less favoured areas and areas with shorter growing seasons;
Amendment 17 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recalls that over the last four years of the current MFF, it was only possible to agree the annual budgets either by using up the existing margins or through recourse to revision and reprogramming, reducing the ceilings of Heading 2 in order to finance other EU priorities; points out that in 2011-2013 the margins in Heading 2 will be extremely limited;

Amendment 24 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Draws attention to the fact that the rule stipulating that the Commission may no longer amend its draft budget once the Conciliation Committee has been convened will preclude the use of the traditional autumn letter of amendment to take account of the updated forecasts for agricultural policy and their budgetary implications; taking into account that agriculture year is running from the 15 October each year asks the Commission to present the latest financial data on agriculture before the Conciliation committee in convened; takes the view that, if these circumstances arise, the most appropriate procedure would involve the submission by the Commission – if necessary – of a specific draft amending budget once all the agricultural data have been finalised;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7
