Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) Securing reliable and unhindered access to raw materials is crucial to the Union economy and essential to maintaining and improving quality of life, industry and employment. The Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) in order to identify raw materials with a high supply- risk and a high economic importance to the Union and secure their reliable and unhindered access. In 2014, The Commission added phosphate rock to this list. This Regulation should not introduce any measures unduly restricting the use, in EC marked fertilising products, of raw materials on which the import- dependency of the Union or its Member State exceeds 70%, or raw materials classified - due to import dependency and risk of supply disruptions - as CRMs under the EU Raw Materials Initiative (COM(2008) 699 final).

(8a) In order to facilitate the compliance of the phosphate fertilising products with the requirements of this Regulation and to boost innovation, it is necessary to provide sufficient funding to the relevant technologies, particularly to decadmiation, by means of the financial resources available under Horizon 2020 and other financial instruments. The Commission should annually inform the Council and the European Parliament on how much EU funding has been provided for decadmiation.

Recital 8 b (new)
(8b) The Union production of fertilisers depends on manufacturers' ability to procure raw materials that include nutrients. Contaminant limits set out in this Regulation should take due account of the need to import such raw materials from third countries in sufficient quantities. While maintaining high standards for quality, health and environment, due care should be taken that contaminant limits set out in this Regulation do not unduly restrict the manufacturers' ability to source and use such raw materials in the production of CE marked fertilising products; do not, provide, by law or in fact, raw material sourcing preferences to individual companies; do not unduly restrict export of raw materials from third countries; and comply with the Union's bilateral and multilateral international trade obligations, are based on objective and accurate scientific data and do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade.

Recital 8 c (new)
(8c) Contaminant limits set out by this Regulation should not disqualify or give preference to certain sources of raw materials. Therefore market and trade effects of such limits should be monitored to ensure stable and affordable access to raw materials, ensuring effective competition and competitiveness of the EU fertilizer industry. The Commission should ensure that foreign suppliers providing both raw materials and finished fertilising products to the Union do not abuse their market position by restricting the Union industry's access to raw materials and rendering its finished fertilizing products uncompetitive.

Recital 13
(13) For certain recovered wastes within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives, a market demand for their use as fertilising products has been identified. Furthermore, certain requirements are necessary for the waste used as input in the recovery operation and for the treatment processes and techniques, as well as for fertilising products resulting from the recovery operation, in order to ensure that the use of those products does not lead to overall adverse environmental or human health impacts. For CE marked fertilising products, those requirements should be laid down in this Regulation. Therefore, as of the moment of compliance with all the requirements of this Regulation, such products should cease to be regarded as waste within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC. _________________ 20 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste and repealing certain Directives (OJ L 312, 22.11.2008, p. 3).

Recital 14
(14) Certain substances and mixtures, commonly referred to as agronomic additives, improve the nutrient release pattern of a nutrient in a fertiliser. Substances and mixtures made available on the market with the intention of them being added to CE marked fertilising products for that purpose should fulfil certain efficacy criteria at the responsibility of the manufacturer of those substances or mixtures, and should therefore as such be considered as CE marked fertilising products under this Regulation. Furthermore, CE marked fertilising products containing such substances or mixtures should be subject to certain efficacy and safety criteria. Such substances and mixtures should therefore also be regulated as component materials for CE marked fertilising products.
Amendment 129 #

Recital 17 a (new)
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Fertilising products which are CE marked in accordance with this Regulation should be afforded equal treatment and not unduly discriminated against by rules laid down in other Union legislation. No preferences should be granted to any type of CE marked fertilising products and no derogations should be granted to any fertilising products from generally-applicable EU law, in particular from Directive 91/676/EEC. No incentives should be granted to any type of fertilizing products, to the exclusion of other types, as they are contrary to the concept of parity and equal treatment under EU law.

Recital 47
(47) CE-marked fertilising products should be placed on the market only if they are sufficiently effectiir agronomic efficacy has been proven and do not present unacceptable risks to human, animal or plant health, to safety or to the environment when properly stored and used for their intended purpose, and under conditions of use which can be reasonably foreseen, that is when such use could result from lawful and readily predictable human behaviour. Therefore, requirements for safety and quality, as well as appropriate control mechanisms, should be established. Furthermore, the intended use of CE marked fertilising products should not lead to food or feed becoming unsafe.

Article 40 d Derogation for international trade dispute 1. Subject to paragraph 4, if a third country initiates dispute settlement proceedings against the Union under the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes ('DSU'), part of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, or under any international trade agreement, questioning the legality, under international law, of the limit set out in Annex I for PFC 1(C)(I), the application of that limit, in the context of Article 4(1), shall be suspended for the duration of such proceeding. 2. For purposes of paragraph 1, and subject to paragraph 3, the suspension shall begin three months after the third country files a request for any consultation under the agreement concerned and shall continue until a final ruling is issued by the relevant dispute settlement body provided for by the agreement to adjudicate the dispute or, if no such body has been created by the agreement, by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. Where no mutually acceptable solution is found within the timeframe prescribed by the agreement or, if no such timeframe is prescribed, within 6 months from the beginning of the suspension, the request for consultations must be followed by the launch of arbitration proceedings at the earliest possible date, if the agreement provides for arbitration and if not, recourse must be taken to the dispute settlement proceedings under the WTO. If no recourse is taken at the earliest possible date, to arbitration proceedings or the WTO DSU, respectively, then the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 shall be lifted. For purposes of this paragraph, arbitration proceedings consist of the phase of the proceeding that is normally concluded with a ruling of the relevant dispute settlement body adjudicating the merits of the dispute 3. When proceedings referred to in paragraph 1, are initiated, the Commission may propose to the Council to stop the suspension. In such case, the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 is delayed until the Council takes a decision, by qualified majority. If the Council approves the Commission proposal, within 3 months from the initiation of such dispute settlement proceedings, the suspension does not come into force. In all other cases, the suspension comes into force. 4. The Commission shall publish a notification in the Official Journal of the European Union, once the suspension becomes effective, stating the nature of the proceeding and informing of the suspension of the application of the relevant provisions. 5. The suspension shall remain in force until the dispute settlement proceedings are concluded by the final ruling of the relevant dispute settlement body. If the decision establishes that the Union violated its obligations under international law, the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 shall continue to be in force until compliance. If the decision establishes that the Union did not violate its obligations under international law, the suspension referred to in paragraph 1 shall be immediately revoked and the Commission shall publish a notification to this effect in the Official Journal of the European Union.
