Proposal for a regulation
Recital 60 a (new)

(60 a) It is necessary to assess and take into account the impact of this Regulation on the economies of the European Neighbourhood countries and developing countries. In order to mitigate possible negative economic and social impacts on countries highly-dependant on phosphate- rock and fertiliser exports, the Commission should take steps necessary to promote recycling and industrial-scale decadmiation technologies and processes in these countries, facilitating compliance with the conditions for CE marking.

Amendment 15 #

Marielle DE SARNEZ, Frédérique RIES

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 60 b (new)

(60 b) Due to the high Union dependency on phosphate rock imports, it has been classified as a critical raw material. It is therefore necessary to monitor the impact of this Regulation on the access to raw material supplies, on the availability of phosphate rock and on the prices. After such evaluation, and in case of negative impact, the Commission should take any measures that it deems to be appropriate in order to remedy those disturbances to trade.

Amendment 147 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1

(1) The conditions for making fertilisers available on the internal market have been partially harmonised through Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , which almost exclusively covers fertilisers from mined or chemically produced, inorganic materials. There is also a need to make use of recycled or organic materials for fertilising purposes. Harmonised conditions for making fertilisers made from such recycled or organic materials available on the entire internal market should be established in order to provide an important incentive for their further use. Promoting increased use of recycled nutrients would further contribute to the circular economy and allow a more resource efficient overall use of nutrients, while lowering EU dependency on nutrients from third countries. The scope of the harmonisation should therefore be extended in order to include recycled and organic materials. __________________ 15 Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (OJ L 304, 21.11.2003, p. 1).

Recital 8

(8) Contaminants in CE marked fertilising products, such as cadmium, can potentially pose a risk to human and animal health and the environment as they accumulate in the environment and enter the food chain. ~~Their content should therefore be limited in such products~~Cadmium content in cereals, vegetables, meat, fish and fisheries products, and food supplements, is strictly controlled in the EU through the maximum levels thereof laid down in Regulation (EU) No 488/2014. The content of heavy metals, such as cadmium, in phosphate fertilisers should therefore be limited by establishing harmonised limit values that take account of thresholds already in place in some Member States, and decadmiation techniques that are viable on an industrial scale. Furthermore, impurities in CE marked fertilising products derived from bio-waste, in particular polymers but also metal and glass, should be either prevented or limited to the extent technically feasible by detection of such impurities in separately collected bio-waste before processing.

Proposal for a regulation
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 European 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 European 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).

Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) Account should also be taken of contamination from fertilisers produced from animal by-products, through medicaments administered to animals. These medicaments, notably antibiotics and anabolics, and their residue may damage the environment during fertiliser spreading, and be harmful to public health when found in ground water or foods exposed to fertilisers. Studies should be conducted therefore on the traceability and breakdown of molecules of this kind in fertilisers produced from animal by- products.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) Member states which already have more stringent national limit values for cadmium in fertilisers shall be allowed to maintain these limit values during a phase-in period, until the rest of the Union reaches an equivalent level of ambition. It would be illogical and counterproductive to force these more ambitious Member States to allow limits values for cadmium to rise above their present levels, even for a shorter period.

Amendment 157 #

Peter LIESE, György HÖLVÉNYI

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)

(8a) A cadmium content labelling requirement for fertilising products, to show whether they contain more or less than 20 mg of cadmium per kg of P2O5 , should be introduced throughout Europe. This should take the form of a clearly visible colour-coded label on the product so that users can immediately tell whether they are using a product with more or less than 20 mg of cadmium per kg of P2O5 .

Proposal for a regulation
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: (i) do not unduly restrict the manufacturers' ability to source and use such raw materials in the production of CE marked fertilising products; (ii) do not, provide, by law or in fact, raw material sourcing preferences to individual companies; (iii) do not unduly restrict export of raw materials from third countries; and (iv) 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.

Amendment 159 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 b (new)

(8b) The contaminant limits set out in the Regulation should not disqualify or give preference to certain sources of raw materials. The market and trade effects of such limits should be monitored therefore to safeguard the stable and affordable access to raw materials, ensuring the effective competition and competitiveness of the EU fertiliser industry.

Amendment 160 #

Proposal for a regulation
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 fertiliser 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 fertilising products uncompetitive.

(9) Products complying with all the requirements of this Regulation should be allowed to move freely on the internal market. Where one or more of the component materials in a CE marked fertilising product falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council18 , but reaches a point in the manufacturing chain beyond which it no longer poses any ~~significant~~ risk to public or animal health (the 'end point in the manufacturing chain'), it would represent an unnecessary administrative burden to continue subjecting the product to the provisions of that Regulation. Such fertilising products should therefore be excluded from the requirements of that Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. __________________ 18 Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (Animal by-products Regulation) (OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 1).

(10) The end point in the manufacturing chain should be determined for each relevant component material containing animal by-products in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. In order to take advantage of technical developments concerning potential use of animal by-products the relevant component material category should be added or expanded in order to include more animal by-products. The setting of the requirements above and rules on processing and recovery for animal by-products should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of expanding or adding, without unnecessary delay, certain animal by- products to the specific component material categories in order to create more opportunities and legal certainty for producers and businesses by unlocking the potential to make better use of nutrients from animal by-products such as animal manure. Where a manufacturing process regulated under this Regulation starts already before that end point has been reached, the process requirements of both Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and this Regulation should apply cumulatively to CE marked fertilising products, which means application of the stricter requirement in case both Regulations regulate the same parameter.

(13) For certain recovered wastes such as struvite, biochar and ash-based products within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 , 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, and accordingly it should be possible for products containing or consisting of such recovered waste materials to access the internal market. To ensure legal clarity and to further incentivise producers to increase their use of valuable waste streams, the scientific analyses and the setting of process requirements on Union level for such products should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation.

In order to stimulate innovation and to create legal certainty for producers concerning the requirements which have to be fulfilled for the registration of new micro-organisms as an ingredient for CE marked fertilising products, harmonised methods for the safety evaluation of new micro-organisms have to be clearly identified. The preparatory work for defining these safety evaluation methods should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission to define, without any unnecessary delay, the requirements which producers have to comply with when demonstrating the safety of new micro-organisms in order to be registered for the use in CE marked fertilising products.

(17a) Fertilising products which are CE marked in accordance with this Regulation should always be afforded equal treatment and should not be unduly discriminated against by the rules laid down in other national and Union legislation. In order to incentivise the use of fertilising products from recycled and organic materials, technologically neutral rules should apply in order to provide legal clarity to producers who invest in the production of innovative fertilising products and to ensure fair competition between the different categories of fertilising products. Provided that fertilising products containing or consisting of processed animal manure are sufficiently agronomically efficient in order to maintain the environmental objectives of Directive 91/676/EEC1a and that this efficiency is proven by technical documentation which is checked by the mechanisms provided for in this Regulation, it would be unjustified to restrict the application of such fertilising products below the application limits of nitrogen compounds from livestock manure established under Directive 91/676/EEC or Commission implementing decisions and derogations related to obligations under the same Directive. Therefore, Directive 91/676/EEC should be amended so as to prevent discrimination of CE marked fertilising products containing or consisting of processed animal manure. __________________ 1aCouncil Directive 91/676/EEC of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources.

(18) Where a CE marked fertilising product contains a substance or mixture within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the safety of its constituent substances for the intended use should be established through registration pursuant to that Regulation. The information requirements should ensure that the safety of the intended use of the CE marked fertilising product is demonstrated in a manner comparable to that achieved through other regulatory regimes for products intended for use on arable soil or crops, notably Member States' national fertiliser legislation and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Therefore, where the actual quantities placed on the market are lower than 10 tonnes per company per year, the information requirements determined by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 for the registration of substances in quantities of 10 to 100 tonnes should exceptionally apply as a condition for making available pursuant to this Regulation.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new)

1a. Member States may maintain national rules that were in force before [date of entry into force of this Regulation] concerning restrictions on the content of cadmium in fertilising products at levels below those set out in Part II of Annex I down to the lowest level set out therein before that lowest level has become applicable. Such existing national measures shall be reported to the Commission by [six months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation] and may remain in force until the date when lower levels set out in Annex I, Part II apply. From [date of entry into force of this Regulation] until [xxx1a years after the date of application of this Regulation] Member States may adopt national rules that implement the lower limits for cadmium as set out in Part II of Annex I, where justified, in particular, on grounds such as the protection of public health or the environment. Member States shall notify such measures to the Commission in accordance with Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical regulations and of rules on Information Society services. __________________ 1aInsert date that will finally be agreed for the lowest level. (The approach of allowing Member States to maintain national restrictions, or to adopt new ones ahead of the date of application of the Union restriction has been taken in Regulation (EU) No 259/2012 of 14 March 2012 amending Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 as regards the use of phosphates and other phosphorus compounds in laundry detergents and consumer automatic dishwasher detergents.)

Amendment 261 #

Proposal for a regulation
Article 40 c (new)

Article 40 c Derogation for compliance plan 1. Under the conditions set out in this article, a Union producer of fertilising products ("applicant") may request a Member State to grant a temporary derogation, for a period of up to 10 years, from the requirements of Article 4(1), if the applicant is unable to meet the requirements of PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) because of difficulties with procuring phosphate rock of sufficient quality, due to dependency on importation of phosphate rock. 2. Import dependency is deemed to exist when the applicant sources more than 70% of phosphate rock from outside of the Union or when phosphate rock is classified as a "critical raw material" under the Raw Material Initiative. 3. The request for a temporary derogation shall include: (a) information on the location, number, size and cadmium content of phosphate rock deposits that the applicant owns, controls, or has exclusive access to by way of exclusive mining, exploration licences, exclusive purchase relationship or by any other means; (b) information on the applicant's sourcing of phosphate rock for the last five years, identifying specific deposits from which phosphate rock has been purchased, including the average cadmium content in phosphate rock purchased from such deposits; (c) information on phosphate rock import dependency for the last 5 years, which shall compare the annual production needs of the applicant with the applicant's purchases of phosphate rock from outside of the Union and its explanation for its inability to source phosphate rock from within the Union; (d) the applicant's 10 year-plan to comply with the requirements of Article 4(1) (" Compliance Plan"), covering planned: (i) diversification of the sourcing of phosphate rock to countries and deposits with low cadmium; (ii) investment in recovery and reuse of phosphorus, which would decrease reliance on imported phosphate rock, and contribute to the circular economy of the Union; and (iii) investment in decadmiation technologies so that they can be introduced in the applicants regular production process. 4. The applicant shall identify all information in the request to be treated as confidential and shall also provide a public summary thereof. 5. The request shall be filed with the competent authority of a Member State where the producer is established. The Member State shall notify the Commission of the receipt of the request, transmitting the public summary of the request. The Commission shall then notify and transfer the request and the public summary to the Council. 6. The Member State shall issue the temporary derogation if it concludes that: (a) the applicant is dependent on imports of phosphate rock within the meaning of paragraph 2; (b) the applicant is not able to comply with the requirement of Article 4(1), due to the cadmium content of its phosphate rock deposits specified in paragraph 3(a), or – in view of import dependency – due to the structure of its historical phosphate rock purchases as specified in paragraph 3(b); and (c) the applicant submitted a credible plan that is likely to allow the applicant, at the expiry of the temporary exemption, to comply with the requirements specified in Article 4(1), upon its completion. 7. If the Member State decides to approve the request and issue the temporary derogation it shall communicate its decision to the Commission and the Council. 8. Once the Member State issues the temporary derogation, a fertilising product, produced by the applicant and placed on the market during its validity , shall be deemed to be in full compliance with PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) for the purposes of Article 4(1) and may be CE-marked. 9. The applicant whose request for a temporary derogation has been approved shall, within 30 days from each anniversary of the date of the approval, submit to the competent authority an annual report, specifying: (a) the location, number, size and cadmium content of phosphate rock deposits that the applicant owned, controlled, or otherwise had exclusive access to by way of exclusive mining, exploration licences, exclusive purchase relationship or by any other means, in the Union and outside, during the past year; (b) the applicant's sourcing of phosphate rock during the past year, from within the Union and outside, identifying countries and specific deposits from which phosphate rock has been purchased, including the average cadmium content in such deposits; (c) the applicant's import dependency referred to in paragraph 3(c); (d) an update on the applicant's implementation of its Compliance Plan in the past year, including progress on : (i) diversification of sourcing of phosphate rock to countries and deposits with low cadmium that would allow the applicant to meet the requirements of Article 4(1); (ii) reduction of its import dependency; (iii) investment in, and introduction of recovery and reuse of phosphorus in the production of fertilising products; and (iv) investment in, and introduction of, decadmiation technologies in its regular production process. 10. The applicant shall indicate the information in its annual report to be treated as confidential and shall also provide a public summary thereof. 11. The Member State shall transfer the public summary of the Annual report to the Commission. The Commission shall then transfer the public summary to the Council. 12. The Member State may revoke the approval of the request and shall notify the Commission where the Member State concludes that the review of the applicant's Annual Reports does not show: (a) a steady and persistent decrease of cadmium content in purchased phosphate rock; (b) increasing diversification of sources for phosphate rock purchases towards low cadmium sources; (c) steady progress in research and implementation of phosphorus recovery and reuse technologies, leading towards increased use of recycled phosphorus in production of the fertilising products; and (d) steady progress in research and implementation of decadmiation technologies, leading towards reduced cadmium content of finished fertilising products; 13. Upon the expiry of the period for which the temporary exemption has been granted, the requirements of PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) shall begin to apply in the context of Article 4(1), as if the Regulation came into force with respect to the applicant on the date on which the exemption has expired.

Article 40 d (new)

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.

Article 40 e Reports on security of raw material supplies and combating unfair trade practices 1. By ... [6 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], and annually thereafter, the Commission shall draw up a report, identifying: (a) the main countries exporting to the Union the main raw materials used for production of fertilising products, including natural gas, phosphate rock/apatite, phosphoric acid and potash; (b) the annual volume, value and average export price of such raw materials; (c) any involvement of state-owned or state-controlled, legally or through other means, enterprises in the export of such raw materials from such third countries; (d) the existence of any distortions, such as dual pricing, regulated domestic prices, export bans, export duties, restrictions on foreign ownership or investment in the raw material industry in such third countries, or monopolistic or oligopolistic structure of that industry; (e) the volume and value of such countries' exports of fertilising products to the Union. 2. The report shall also specify, by comparing data from previous years, whether any country restricts its exports of any of the raw materials used for production of fertilising products, including by limiting export quantities or imposing higher prices, and instead increases its exports of fertilising products produced from such raw materials, and if so, the report shall also determine the circumstances of such a shift in trade patterns, in particular whether it may be the result of actions of: (a) the government of the exporting country; (b) an exporting third country monopolistic or oligopolistic exporters; (c) any other governmental or quasi- governmental entity enjoying a dominant position in exporting raw materials from the exporting countries, or a group of such entities; or (d) vertically integrated producer of fertilising products that also controls a significant part of the exporting country's capacities in production or exportation of raw materials, or a group of such producers. 3. The Commission shall present the report to the European Parliament and the Council. 4. Where the report concludes that the circumstances described in paragraph 2 occur, and that the effect of such actions is, on one hand, a limited supply of raw materials to the EU, and, on the other, increased market share of the third countries' finished fertilising products, the Commission shall take appropriate action, including: (a) where the trade distortion causing the limited supply of raw material may be a violation of any international trade agreement, entering into consultations with the third country, and, if required, initiating a trade dispute to eliminate the violation; (b) initiating consultations, and, if warranted, a Community examination procedure pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/1843 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a in order to ensure the exercise of the Union's rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organization; (c) where a country in question benefits from autonomous tariff preferences, including under Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council1b , taking action to withdraw such preferences for the third country or fertilising products originating in such third country, including by taking any action under Article 3(2), 5(3), 6(2), 8(2)&(3), 10(5), 11(2), 19(3), 21(3) and 36 of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012; in circumstances described in this point, the substantive requirements for Commission delegated acts set out in Articles 3(2), 4, 6(2), 8(1), 10(5), 11(2), 19(1)(d) and 21(1) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 are deemed to have been met; (d) where the third country in question benefits from tariff preferences under a free trade agreement, considering imposing safeguard measures under that agreement, if conditions set out under the regulation implementing such safeguard are met or taking actions to withdraw concession and reimpose the regular WTO bound Common Customs Tariff on fertilising products originating in that third country, pursuant to procedures established by free trade agreement concerned; (e) where fertilising products originating in the third country do not benefit from any tariff preferences and are subject to regular WTO-bound Common Customs Tariff, considering withdrawing concessions under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and other WTO agreements, in line with procedures set out in such agreements (f) adopting a delegated act to deny products originating in the third country the CE-marking; (g) any other action that it deems to be appropriate. 5. For purposes of this article, "oligopolistic" shall include situations where four or less entities or corporate groups control more than 80% of the third country's deposits, production or exports of a given raw material. __________________ 1a Regulation (EU) 2015/1843 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 laying down Union procedures in the field of the common commercial policy (OJ L 272, 16.10.2015, p. 1). 1bRegulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP Regulation) (OJ L 303, 31.10.2012, p. 1).

Where the report identifies the existence of phosphate rock deposits and no exports or insignificant exports, in general or to the Union, of phosphate rock from the countries referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1, which may be the result of any export, foreign ownership or foreign investment restrictions imposed by the government of the third country concerned, or is the result of the practices of monopolist or oligopolistic exporters including entities with a dominant position; or any other governmental or quasi-governmental entity or a group of such entities; or of a vertically integrated producer of fertilising products that also controls a significant part of the exporting country's capacities in production or exportation of phosphate rock, or a group of such producers, the Commission shall enter into negotiations and use all tools at its disposal, including those mentioned in Article 40e (4) to make such deposits available for exports to the Union. 3. For purpose of this article, insignificance of exports may be determined in relation to the size of deposits or production from such deposits in the third country.

1a. The total declared nitrogen content is given by the sum of ammoniacal N, nitric N, ureic N, N from methylene-urea, N from isobutylidene diurea, N from crotonylidene diurea and N from cyanamide. The EU Commission proposes that the total declarable nutrient content includes by default all forms of nutrients, even those that will not be available to the plants. Only plant available nutrients should be declared and labelled because other forms of nitrogen and phosphorus have no proven contribution to plant nutrition. Otherwise farmers would not bring to their crops the nutrient quantity they were expecting to apply according to the proposal, and thus would be misled by the declaration of the total nutrient content.

Amendment 100 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28

(28) Since distributors and importers are close to the market place, they should be involved in market surveillance tasks carried out by competent national authorities, and should be required to participate actively and provide those authorities with all necessary information relating to the CE marked fertilising product.deleted

Amendment 101 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33

(33) In order to ensure that CE marked ~~ammonium~~ nitrate fertilisers of high nitrogen content do not endanger safety, and that such fertilisers are not used for purposes other than those for which they are intended, for example as explosives, such fertilisers should be subject to specific requirements relating to detonation resistance testing and to traceability.

Amendment 102 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39

(39) In order to ensure a consistent level of quality in the performance of conformity assessment of CE marked fertilising products, it is also necessary to set requirements for notifying authorities and ~~other~~ bodies ~~involved in~~responsible for the assessment, notification and monitoring of notified bodies.

Amendment 103 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 41

(41) Due to the variable nature of certain fertilising product component materials, and the potentially irreversible nature of some of the damages to which soil and crop exposure to impurities could lead, transparent accreditation as provided for in Regulation (EC) No 765/2008, ensuring the necessary level of confidence in certificates of conformity of CE marked fertilising products containing such components, should be the only means of demonstrating the technical competence of conformity assessment bodies is the fact that they are public.

Amendment 104 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 42

(42) ~~Conformity assessment bodies frequently subcontract parts of their activities linked to the assessment of conformity or have recourse to a subsidiary.~~ In order to safeguard the level of protection required for CE marked fertilising products to be placed on the market, it is essential that conformity assessment subcontractors and subsidiaries fulfil the same requirements as notified bodies in relation to the performance of conformity assessment tasks. Therefore, it is important that the assessment of the competence and the performance of bodies to be notified and the monitoring of bodies already notified cover also activities carried out by subcontractors and subsidiariesbodies are public.

Amendment 105 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 42

(42) Conformity assessment bodies frequently subcontract parts of their activities linked to the assessment of conformity or have recourse to a subsidiary. In order to safeguard the level of protection required for CE marked fertilising products to be placed on the market, it is essential that conformity assessment subcontractors and subsidiaries fulfil the same requirements as notified bodies in relation to the performance of conformity assessment tasks. Therefore, it is important that the assessment of the competence and the performance of bodies to be notified and the monitoring of bodies already notified cover also activities carried out by subcontractors and subsidiaries. This is the responsibility of the assessment body and also extends to penal aspects.

Amendment 106 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 45

(45) In the interest of easing market access, it is crucial that notified bodies apply the conformity assessment procedures without creating unnecessary burdens for economic operators. For the same reason, and to ensure equal treatment of economic operators, consistency in the technical application of the conformity assessment procedures needs to be ensured. That can best be achieved through appropriate coordination and cooperation between notified bodies, as well as through providing proper access to information about the results of the notification procedure for all stakeholders, including market participants.

Amendment 107 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 47

(47) CE-marked fertilising products should be placed on the market only if they are sufficiently effective 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.

Amendment 108 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 49

(49) The existing system should be supplemented by a procedure under which interested parties are informed of measures intended to be taken with regard to CE marked fertilising products presenting a~~n unacceptable~~ risk to human, animal or plant health, to safety or to the environment. It should also allow market surveillance authorities, in cooperation with the relevant economic operators, to act at an early stage in respect of such fertilising products.

Amendment 109 #

Proposal for a regulation

Amendment 110 #

Philippe LOISEAU, Edouard FERRAND, Sylvie GODDYN, Mylène TROSZCZYNSKI

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 53

(53) The examination procedure should be used for the adoption of implementing acts with respect to compliant CE marked fertilising products which present a~~n unacceptable~~ risk to human, animal or plant health, to safety or to the environment, since such acts fall within the ambit of Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 182/2011. For the same reason, it should also be used for the adoption, amendment or repeal of common specifications.

Amendment 111 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 54

(54) The Commission should, by means of implementing acts, determine whether measures taken by Member States in respect of non-compliant CE marked fertilising products are justified or not. Since those acts will relate to the question whether national measures are justified, there is no need for the acts to be subject to control by the Member States.deleted

Amendment 112 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 55

(55) Promising technical progress is being made in the field of recycling of waste, such as phosphorus recycling from sewage sludge, and fertilising product production from animal by-products, such as biochar. It should be possible for products containing or consisting of such materials to access the internal market without unnecessary delay when the manufacturing processes have been scientifically analysed and process requirements have been established at Union level and any health hazards have been eliminated . For that purpose, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining larger or additional categories of CE marked fertilising products or component materials eligible for use in the production of such products. For animal by-products, component material categories should be expanded or added only to the extent an end point in the manufacturing chain has been determined in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, since animal by-products for which no such end point has been determined are in any event excluded from the scope of this Regulation.

Amendment 113 #

Philippe LOISEAU, Edouard FERRAND, Sylvie GODDYN, Mylène TROSZCZYNSKI

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 55 a (new)

(55a) Current manufacturing practices using other industry by-products or recycled products as a component of a mineral fertilizer have to be secured through this Regulation, in order to maintain and support their contribution to the circular economy in the Union. It should be possible for those components to be eligible as a component according to the requirements set in this Regulation, without unnecessary delay, once the manufacturing processes have been scientifically analysed and process requirements have been established at Union level. For that purpose, the power to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining larger or additional component materials eligible for use in the production of such products.

Amendment 114 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 56

(56) Furthermore, it should be possible to react immediately to new findings regarding the conditions for CE marked fertilising products to be sufficiently effective and to new risk assessments regarding human, animal or plant health, safety or the environment. For that purpose, the ~~power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission to amend the requirements applicable to various categories of CE marked fertilising products.~~Commission should be able to take decisions in conjunction with the European Parliament and the Council;

(2) Certain products are being used in combination with fertilisers for the purpose of improving nutrition efficiency, with the beneficial effect of reducing the amount of fertilisers used and hence their environmental impact. In order to facilitate their free movement on the internal market, not only fertilisers, i.e. products intended to provide plants with nutrient, but also products intended to improve plants’ nutrition efficiency, should be covered by the harmonisation, excluding hormones and genetically manipulated products.

(2a) Nutrients in our food originate from the soil; healthy and nutritious soil results in healthy and nutritious crops and food. Farmers need available a wide range of fertilisers, organic and synthetic in order to enhance their soil. When soil nutrients are missing, or depleted, plants will be nutrient deficient and may either stop growing or not contain nutritional value for human consumption.

Amendment 59 #

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)

(5a) Notes that since Directive (EC) no 91/676 was introduced all Member States have drawn up action plans to protect and improve water quality with 39.6% of the EU territory covered, implemented by some 300 action programs. Farmers are becoming increasingly positive about environmental protection realising that accurate placement and use of manures can have twin environmental and economic benefits. In this context it is important to ensure that the use of animal manure and farm produced compost not labelled with the CE mark remain outside the scope of this legislation and that the recycling of farm residues is not hindered by disproportionate administration burdens. To ensure effective use of animal manure cooperation between farmers is necessary, some farmers specialize in crop production importing animal manure from adjacent livestock farms. This kind of cooperation should be stimulated and encouraged, not curtailed by unrealistic administration. Animal manures properly applied using modern technologies, governed by soil sampling, within the parameters of the Nitrates Directive is still the most cost effective way of using this valuable fertiliser.

(7) Similarly, different component materials warrant different process requirements and control mechanisms adapted to their different potential hazardousness and variability. Component materials for CE marked fertilising products should therefore be divided into different categories, which should each be subject to specific process requirements and control mechanisms, and clear and easily intelligible user information measures should be established. It should be possible to make available on the market a CE marked fertilising product composed of several component materials from various component material categories, where each material complies with the requirements of the category to which the material belongs.

(8) Contaminants in CE marked fertilising products, such as cadmium, can potentially pose a risk to human and animal health and the environment as they accumulate in the environment and enter the food chain. ~~Their content~~Impurities should therefore be strictly limited in such products, and information on the presence of impurities in fertiliser should be clearly displayed on the packaging. Furthermore, impurities in CE marked fertilising products derived from bio-waste, in particular polymers but also metal and glass, should be either prevented or limited to the extent technically feasible by detection of such impurities in separately collected bio-waste before processing.

(8a) Securing reliable and unhindered access to raw materials is crucial to the European Union’s economy and essential to maintaining and improving quality of life, industry and employment. The European 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. The European Commission added phosphate rock to this list in 2014. The Regulation must take this into account when taking measures entailing restrictions on use of these materials.

(9) Products complying with all the requirements of this Regulation should be allowed to move freely on the internal market. Where one or more of the component materials in a CE marked fertilising product falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council18, but reaches a point in the manufacturing chain beyond which it no longer poses any ~~significant~~ risk to public or animal health (the ‘end point in the manufacturing chain’), it would represent an unnecessary administrative burden to continue subjecting the product to the provisions of that Regulation. Such fertilising products should therefore be excluded from the requirements of that Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. __________________ 18 Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consumption and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (Animal by-products Regulation) (OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 1).

(10) The end point in the manufacturing chain should be determined for each relevant component material containing animal by-products in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. The setting of processing methods and recovery rules for animal by- products for which an end point in the manufacturing chain has been determined should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of expanding or adding, without any unnecessary delay, certain animal by-products to the specific component material categories in order to increase opportunities and provide more legal certainty for producers and users by unlocking the circular potential of increased use of nutrients from animal by-products such as animal manure. Where a manufacturing process regulated under this Regulation starts already before that end point has been reached, the process requirements of both Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and this Regulation should apply cumulatively to CE marked fertilising products, which means application of the stricter requirement in case both Regulations regulate the same parameter.

Recital 13

(13) For certain recovered wastes such as struvite, biochar and ash-based products within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 , 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, and accordingly it should be possible for products containing or consisting of such recovered waste materials to access the internal market. To ensure legal clarity and to further incentivize producers to increase their use of valuable waste streams, the scientific analyses and the setting of process requirements on Union level for such products should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining, without unnecessary delay, larger or additional categories of component materials eligible for the use in the production of CE marked fertilising products such as struvite, biochar and ash-based products. __________________ 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).

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 a (new)

(17a) The traceability of products which are vulnerable to organic pollution from certain potentially problematic sources (or perceived as such) should be ensured back to the source of the organic material. This is necessary in order (a) to secure consumer confidence and (b) to limit damage if local contamination occurs. As a result, businesses which use fertiliser products containing organic material from these sources may be identified. This should be compulsory for products containing material from waste or from by-products which have not undergone any processing that destroys organic pollutants, pathogens and genetic material. The aim is not only to reduce risks to health and the environment but also to reassure public opinion and cater for the concerns of farmers regarding pathogens, organic pollutants and genetic material. In order to protect land owners against pollution for which they themselves are not to blame, Member States are called upon to establish appropriate liability rules.

(18) Where a CE marked fertilising product contains a substance or mixture within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the safety of its constituent substances for the intended use should be established through registration pursuant to that Regulation. The information requirements should ensure that the safety of the intended use of the CE marked fertilising product is demonstrated in a manner comparable to that achieved through other regulatory regimes for products intended for use on arable soil or crops, notably Member States’ national fertiliser legislation and Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Therefore, where the actual quantities placed on the market are lower than 10 tonnes per company per year, the information requirements determined by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 for the registration of substances in quantities of 10 to 100 tonnes should exceptionally apply as a condition for making available pursuant to this Regulation.

Recital 24

(24) It is necessary to ensure that CE marked fertilising products from third countries that enter the internal market comply with this Regulation, and in particular that the appropriate conformity assessment procedures have been carried out by manufacturers with regard to those fertilising products. Provision should therefore be made for importers to make sure that CE marked fertilising products which they place on the market comply with the requirements of this Regulation and that they do not place on the market CE marked fertilising products which do not comply with such requirements or present a risk to human, animal or plant health, safety or the environment. Provision should also be made for such importers to make sure that conformity assessment procedures have been carried out and that marking of CE marked fertilising products and documentation drawn up by manufacturers are available for inspection by the competent national authorities.deleted

(e) A description of all components ~~above 5%~~ by product weight in descending order of magnitude by dry weight, including an indication of the relevant component material categories ('CMC') as referred to in Annex II. Failure to fully label quantities under 5% may have a significant effect on the total characteristics of the mixture, and may add hazardous, unpermitted or inactive components e.g. industrial waste, synthetic compounds or sand. Meanwhile, organic farmers are only allowed to use organic (in the chemical sense) fertiliser components and products which are 100% in line with the Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, so they need to know exactly what additional components there are and how much, in case they are not permitted under Reg. 834/2007. Otherwise if the farmers are controlled after using such products containing non- permitted substances on their fields, they may be prevented from selling their products as organic or de-certified.Or. enJustification

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.

(8a) Alcohol is also a contaminant, particularly alcohol contained in by- products from wine production. These wine industry by-products should have the alcohol removed from them before being included in the composition of fertilising material. Collection of these by-products by specialist distilleries supports a sizeable labour market as well as scientific research.

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.

Amendment 106 #

Proposal for a regulation
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.

(9) PAn EU fertilising products complying with all the requirements of this Regulation should be allowed to move freely on the internal market. WThe~~re one or more of the component materials in a CE marked fertilising product falls~~ Member State authorities may put in place a system of on-line registration of economic operators trading with EU fertilising products. The aim of the scheme is to facilitate an overview of the market in fertilising products regardless of their origin. Economic operators are required to register online accordingly and update information about company activities relating EU fertilising products. The registration system will contribute to market surveillance and will be an alternative source of information for farmers on the market for EU fertilising products. Where one or more of the component materials [...] is a derived product within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council18 , but has reachesd [...] a point in the manufacturing chain beyond which it no longer poses any significant risk to public or animal health (the 'end point in the manufacturing chain'), it would represent an unnecessary administrative burden to continue subjecting the product to the provisions of that Regulation. Such fertilising products should therefore be excluded from the requirements of that Regulation.

(10) The end point in the manufacturing chain should be determined for each relevant component material containing animal by-products in accordance with the procedures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. To take advantage of technical developments, create more opportunities for producers and businesses, and unlock the potential to make more use of nutrients from animal by-products such as animal manure, the setting of processing methods and recovery rules for animal by-products for which an end-point in the manufacturing chain has been determined should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in order to expand or add component material categories to include more animal by-products. Where a manufacturing process regulated under this Regulation starts already before that end point has been reached, the process requirements of both Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and this Regulation should apply cumulatively to CE marked fertilising products, which means application of the stricter requirement in case both Regulations regulate the same parameter.

(13) For certain recovered wastes within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 , such as struvite, biochar, and ash-based products, 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, and accordingly it should be possible for products containing or consisting of such recovered waste materials to access the internal market. To ensure legal clarity, take advantage of technical developments, and further stimulate the incentive among producers to make more use of valuable waste streams, the scientific analyses and the setting of process requirements at Union level for such products should start immediately after the entry into force of this Regulation. Accordingly, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining, without unnecessary delay, larger or additional categories of component materials eligible for use in the production of CE marked fertilising products. _________________ 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).

(15) Certain substances, mixtures and micro-organisms, commonly referred to as plant biostimulants, are not as such inputs of nutrients, but nevertheless stimulate plants' natural nutrition processes. Where such products aim solely at improving the plants' nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, or crop quality traits, they are by nature more similar to fertilising products than to most categories of plant protection products. Therefore, they act in addition to fertilisers, with the aim of optimizing their efficiency and reducing the volumes of use.

Article 40 c Derogation for compliance plan 1. Under the conditions set out in this article, a Union producer of fertilizing products ("applicant") may request a Member State to grant a temporary derogation, for a period of up to 10 years, from the requirements of Article 4(1), if the applicant is unable to meet the requirements of PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) because of difficulties with procuring phosphate rock of sufficient quality, due to dependency on importation of phosphate rock. 2. Import dependency is deemed to exist when the applicant sources more than 70% of phosphate rock from outside of the Union or when phosphate rock is classified as a "critical raw material" under the Raw Material Initiative. 3. The request for a temporary derogation shall include: (a) information on the location, number, size and cadmium content of phosphate rock deposits that the applicant owns, controls, or has exclusive access to by way of exclusive mining, exploration licences, exclusive purchase relationship or by any other means; (b) information on the applicant's sourcing of phosphate rock for the last five years, identifying specific deposits from which phosphate rock has been purchased, including the average cadmium content in phosphate rock purchased from such deposits; (c) information on phosphate rock import dependency for the last 5 years, which shall compare the annual production needs of the applicant with the applicant's purchases of phosphate rock from outside of the Union and its explanation for its inability to source phosphate rock from within the Union; (d) the applicant's 10 year-plan to comply with the requirements of Article 4(1) (" Compliance Plan"), covering planned: (i) diversification of the sourcing of phosphate rock to countries and deposits with low cadmium; (ii) investment in recovery and reuse of phosphorus, which would decrease reliance on imported phosphate rock, and contribute to the circular economy of the Union; and (iii) investment in decadmiation technologies so that they can be introduced in the applicants regular production process. 4. The applicant shall identify all information in the request to be treated as confidential and shall also provide a public summary thereof. 5. The request shall be filed with the competent authority of a Member State where the producer is established. The Member State shall notify the Commission of the receipt of the request, transmitting the public summary of the request. The Commission shall then notify and transfer the request and the public summary to the Council. 6. The Member State shall issue the temporary derogation if it concludes that: (a) the applicant is dependent on imports of phosphate rock within the meaning of paragraph 2; (b) the applicant is not able to comply with the requirement of Article 4(1), due to the cadmium content of its phosphate rock deposits specified in paragraph 3(a), or – in view of import dependency – due to the structure of its historical phosphate rock purchases as specified in paragraph 3(b); and (c) the applicant submitted a credible plan that is likely to allow the applicant, at the expiry of the temporary exemption, to comply with the requirements specified in Article 4(1), upon its completion. 7. If the Member State decides to approve the request and issue the temporary derogation it shall communicate its decision to the Commission and the Council. 8. Once the Member State issues the temporary derogation, a fertilizing product, produced by the applicant and placed on the market during its validity , shall be deemed to be in full compliance with PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) for the purposes of Article 4(1) and may be CE-marked. 9. The applicant whose request for a temporary derogation has been approved shall, within 30 days from each anniversary of the date of the approval, submit to the competent authority an annual report, specifying: (a) the location, number, size and cadmium content of phosphate rock deposits that the applicant owned, controlled, or otherwise had exclusive access to by way of exclusive mining, exploration licences, exclusive purchase relationship or by any other means, in the Union and outside, during the past year; (b) the applicant's sourcing of phosphate rock during the past year, from within the Union and outside, identifying countries and specific deposits from which phosphate rock has been purchased, including the average cadmium content in such deposits; (c) the applicant's import dependency referred to in paragraph 3(c); (d) an update on the applicant's implementation of its Compliance Plan in the past year, including progress on : (i) diversification of sourcing of phosphate rock to countries and deposits with low cadmium that would allow the applicant to meet the requirements of Article 4(1); (ii) reduction of its import dependency; (iii) investment in, and introduction of recovery and reuse of phosphorus in the production of fertilizing products; and (iv) investment in, and introduction of, decadmiation technologies in its regular production process. 10. The applicant shall indicate the information in its annual report to be treated as confidential and shall also provide a public summary thereof. 11. The Member State shall transfer the public summary of the Annual report to the Commission. The Commission shall then transfer the public summary to the Council. 12. The Member State may revoke the approval of the request and shall notify the Commission where the Member State concludes that the review of the applicant's Annual Reports does not show: (a) a steady and persistent decrease of cadmium content in purchased phosphate rock; (b) increasing diversification of sources for phosphate rock purchases towards low cadmium sources; (c) steady progress in research and implementation of phosphorus recovery and reuse technologies, leading towards increased use of recycled phosphorus in production of the fertilizing products; and (d) steady progress in research and implementation of decadmiation technologies, leading towards reduced cadmium content of finished fertilizing products; 13. Upon the expiry of the period for which the temporary exemption has been granted, the requirements of PFC 1(C)(I)2(a)(2) shall begin to apply in the context of Article 4(1), as if the Regulation came into force with respect to the applicant on the date on which the exemption has expired.

[6 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], and annually thereafter, the Commission shall draw up a report, identifying: (a) the main countries exporting to the Union the main raw materials used for production of fertilising products, including natural gas, phosphate rock/apatite, phosphoric acid and potash; (b) the annual volume, value and average export price of such raw materials; (c) any involvement of state-owned or state-controlled, legally or through other means, enterprises in the export of such raw materials from such third countries; (d) the existence of any distortions, such as dual pricing, regulated domestic prices, export bans, export duties, restrictions on foreign ownership or investment in the raw material industry in such third countries, or monopolistic or oligopolistic structure of that industry; (e) the volume and value of such countries' exports of fertilising products to the Union. 2. The report shall also specify, by comparing data from previous years, whether any country restricts its exports of any of the raw materials used for production of fertilising products, including by limiting export quantities or imposing higher prices, and instead increases its exports of fertilising products produced from such raw materials, and if so, the report shall also determine the circumstances of such a shift in trade patterns, in particular whether it may be the result of actions of: (a) the government of the exporting country; (b) an exporting third country monopolistic or oligopolistic exporters; (c) any other governmental or quasi- governmental entity enjoying a dominant position in exporting raw materials from the exporting countries, or a group of such entities; or (d) vertically integrated producer of fertilising products that also controls a significant part of the exporting country's capacities in production or exportation of raw materials, or a group of such producers. 3. The Commission shall present the report to the European Parliament and the Council. 4. Where the report concludes that the circumstances described in paragraph 2 occur, and that the effect of such actions is, on one hand, a limited supply of raw materials to the EU, and, on the other, increased market share of the third countries' finished fertilising products, the Commission shall take appropriate action, including: (a) where the trade distortion causing the limited supply of raw material may be a violation of any international trade agreement, entering into consultations with the third country, and, if required, initiating a trade dispute to eliminate the violation; (b) initiating consultations, and, if warranted, a Community examination procedure pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/1843 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a in order to ensure the exercise of the Union's rights under international trade rules, in particular those established under the auspices of the World Trade Organization; (c) where a country in question benefits from autonomous tariff preferences, including under Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council1b , taking action to withdraw such preferences for the third country or fertilising products originating in such third country, including by taking any action under Article 3(2), 5(3), 6(2), 8(2)&(3), 10(5), 11(2), 19(3), 21(3) and 36 of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012; in circumstances described in this point, the substantive requirements for Commission delegated acts set out in Articles 3(2), 4, 6(2), 8(1), 10(5), 11(2), 19(1)(d) and 21(1) of Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 are deemed to have been met; (d) where the third country in question benefits from tariff preferences under a free trade agreement, considering imposing safeguard measures under that agreement, if conditions set out under the regulation implementing such safeguard are met or taking actions to withdraw concession and reimpose the regular WTO bound Common Customs Tariff on fertilizing products originating in that third country, pursuant to procedures established by free trade agreement concerned; (e) where fertilising products originating in the third country do not benefit from any tariff preferences and are subject to regular WTO-bound Common Customs Tariff, considering withdrawing concessions under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and other WTO agreements, in line with procedures set out in such agreements (f) adopting a delegated act to deny products originating in the third country the CE-marking; (g) any other action that it deems to be appropriate. 5. For purposes of this article, "oligopolistic" shall include situations where four or less entities or corporate groups control more than 80% of the third country's deposits, production or exports of a given raw material. __________________ _________________ 1a Regulation (EU) 2015/1843 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 October 2015 laying down Union procedures in the field of the common commercial policy (OJ L 272, 16.10.2015, p. 1). 1b Regulation (EU) No 978/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences (GSP Regulation) (OJ L 303, 31.10.2012, p. 1).

Article 40 f (new)

Article 40 f Availability of Phosphate Rock 1. By...[6 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], and every five years thereafter, the Commission shall draw up a report, identifying: (a) the main countries with significant phosphate rock deposits, the projected size of such deposits; production of phosphate rock from such deposits; and the levels of contaminants regulated in Annex I, in particular cadmium and chromium; (b) ownership or control of such deposits, with an indication of whether any foreign investment or foreign ownership restrictions apply to such deposits and, if deposits are already exploited, the involvement of state-owned or state- controlled enterprises in their exploitation; (c) exports of phosphate rock from such countries, with an indication of volume and value of exports to the Union for the last 5 years; (d) where there are no or insignificant exports of phosphate rock from the third country, in general or to the Union, an indication of whether the third country applies any export restrictions and if not, a plausible explanation for that situation of the exports concerned; (e) known production of fertilising products in such countries. 2. Where the report identifies the existence of phosphate rock deposits and no exports or insignificant exports, in general or to the Union, of phosphate rock from the countries referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1, which may be the result of any export, foreign ownership or foreign investment restrictions imposed by the government of the third country concerned, or is the result of the practices of monopolist or oligopolistic exporters including entities with a dominant position; or any other governmental or quasi-governmental entity or a group of such entities; or of a vertically integrated producer of fertilising products that also controls a significant part of the exporting country's capacities in production or exportation of phosphate rock, or a group of such producers, the Commission shall enter into negotiations and use all tools at its disposal, including those mentioned in Article 40e (4) to make such deposits available for exports to the Union. 3. For purpose of this article, insignificance of exports may be determined in relation to the size of deposits or production from such deposits in the third country. Insignificance of exports to the Union may also be determined in relation to exports to other third countries.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1

(1) The conditions for making fertilisers available on the internal market have been partially harmonised through Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , which almost exclusively covers fertilisers from mined or chemically produced, inorganic materials. There is also a need to make use of recycled or organic materials for fertilising purposes. Harmonised conditions for making fertilisers made from such recycled or organic materials available on the entire internal market should be established in order to provide an important incentive for their further use. Promoting increased use of recycled nutrients would further aid in the development of the circular economy and allow a more resource-efficient general use of nutrients, while lowering EU dependency on nutrients from third countries. The scope of the harmonisation should therefore be extended in order to include recycled and organic materials. _________________ 15 Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (OJ L 304, 21.11.2003, p. 1).

(1) The conditions for making fertilisers available on the internal market have been partially harmonised through Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , which almost exclusively covers fertilisers from mined or chemically produced, min~~organic~~eral materials. There is also a need to make use of recycled or organic materials for fertilising purposes. Harmonised conditions for making fertilisers made from such recycled or organic materials available on the entire internal market should be established in order to provide an important incentive for their further use. The scope of the harmonisation should therefore be extended in order to include recycled and organic materials. (This amendment applies throughout the text. Adopting it will necessitate corresponding changes throughout.) _________________ 15 Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (OJ L 304, 21.11.2003, p. 1).

Recital 5

(5) Contrary to most other product harmonisation measures in Union legislation, Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 does not prevent non- harmonised fertilisers from being made available on the internal market in accordance with national law and the general free movement rules of the Treaty. In view of the very local nature of certain product markets, this possibility should remain. Compliance with harmonised rules should therefore remain optional, and should be required only for products, intended to provide plants with nutrient or improve plants' nutrition efficiency, which are CE marked when made available on the market. This Regulation should therefore not apply to products which are not CE marked when made available on the market.deleted

Recital 5 a (new)

(5a) To ensure effective use of animal manure and on-farm compost, farmers should use those products which follow the spirit of "responsible agriculture", favouring local distribution channels, good agronomic and environmental practice and in compliance with the EU environmental legislation, such as Nitrate Directive or Water Framework directive. The preferential use of fertilisers produced on-site and in neighbouring agricultural undertakings should be encouraged.
