Recital E
Amendment 62 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Affirms that EU agriculture can contribute to the Union’s global warming mitigation objectives by finding ways, through land use which encourages photosynthesis and consequent capture of CO2, to limit and reduce its GHG emissions, promoting carbon storage in the soil and developing the production of sustainable renewable energies; emphasises that, to this end, it is essential to foster the development of a different kind of agriculture betterthat is able to reconcile economic, social and environmental imperatives with the natural potential of each ecosystem;
Amendment 68 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Takes the view that organic farming and integrated pest management practices are among the ecologically effective systems needing further development; emphasises, however, the need to find ways to facilitate a transition to morhieve sustainable agriculture in the case of the other systems used on most farmland;
Amendment 113 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Recommends introducing an effective common European 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;
Amendment 133 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
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 and dependence on chemical nitrogen fertilisers, particularly in regions characterised by high-density livestock farming;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Notes that the current cross-compliance system, which is based on a best efforts obligation rather than an obligation to achieve results, is both very complicated for farmers and inadequate as a response to environmental issues; takes the view that a new approach focusing on sustainable production models should be adopted, necessitating compensatory aid to cover the extra costs arising from these objectives (local eco-certification contracts) and pay for the services rendered to society through the supply of ‘public goods’ (such as the preservation of rural areas, biodiversity conservation, carbon capture and food security) that are not rewarded by the market;
Amendment 222 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Takes the view that climate change is forcing the Union to reinvent its development model; consequently calls on the Commission, in its future communication on CAP reform after 2013, to consider turning the CAP into an agricultural, food and environmental policy with fairer, more sustainable farmer support systems that enjoy greater legitimacy in the eyes of the public and which also restorgive meaning to the farming profession;
Amendment 233 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Also calls on the Commission to give thought to new support systems that promote carbon fixing in farm soil and biomass and encourage agricultural use of areas that make a positive contribution to climate change;
