Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas it is necessary to adopt a more comprehensive analysis of the protein issue in Europe so as to maximise the number of instruments at our disposal for boosting the effectiveness of action to reduce our dependence on imported vegetable proteins;
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas the nitrogen needed to feed plants and manufacture vegetable proteins is today mainly provided by synthetic nitrogenous fertilisers, which are costly to produce and generate pollution of both water and airhave a high ecological footprint by using large amounts of fossil fuels during the production process; Highlights that this does not contribute to the goal of the circular economy and making more efficient use of our resources and waste streams; Therefore, the use and development of alternative organic nitrogen fertilisers needs to be stimulated, such as the recycling of nutrients from organic waste streams like animal manure;
Amendment 89 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Recalls that the by-products of food and bio-fuel production and certain processed animal proteins represent important alternative sources of proteins for feed; Highlights that legislation on processed animal protein is often outdated and should be made fit for purpose in order to create more room within the regulatory framework to make the use of alternative protein sources easier, such as insect proteins;

Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3a. Welcomes the process that has been made in the development and validation of analytical methods for official controls on the presence of Processed Animal Protein (PAP) in feed; Is looking forward to further developments in this field, to re-authorise pig PAP in poultry feed or poultry PAP in pig feed, in order to both contribute to the circular economy and to become less depended on imported vegetable protein;

Paragraph 14 a (new)
14a. Considers it necessary to invest in new breeding techniques in order to develop firstly, protein crops that are more adapted to the European climate, and secondly, improve the protein value of our crops; stresses the importance of security of investments in order to foster research and investment in breeding better protein crops in the EU;
Amendment 270 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Considers it important for the CAP to support protein crop cultivation by means of the voluntary coupled payment (which, if not restricted to crops and regions in difficulty, would give scope for more action) and the greening payment, and by means of the second pillar, particularly through agro-environmental measures on organic farming, investment quality, advice, training and of course innovation via the EIP;
Amendment 322 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Takes the view that it is necessary to secure our soya supplies by cooperating more closely with our neighbourhood, in particularfor example with Ukraine, which has opted for Europe and which produces soya that could be brought into the EU via the Danube;
