Amendment 74 #
Motion for a resolution Recital J a (new) Ja. whereas there are no clear figures on women's involvement in farming, be it as farm owners or as employees:
Amendment 75 #
Motion for a resolution Recital K K. whereas in 2014 women were responsible for about 35 % of total working time in agriculture, carrying out 53.8 % of part-time work and 30.8 % of full-time work, thereby making a significant contribution to agricultural production, but at the same time bearing the principal burden of unpaid domestic and care work; whereas work carried out by spouses and other female family members on farms may constitute ‘invisible work’ and their economic independence is therefore not adequately secured;

Motion for a resolution Recital K K. whereas in 2014 women were responsible for about 35 % of total working time in agriculture, carrying out 53.8 % of part-time work and 30.8 % of full-time work, thereby making a significant contribution to agricultural production; whereas work carried out by spouses and other female family members on farms

Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution Recital K K. whereas in 2014 women were responsible for about 35 % of total working time in agriculture, carrying out 53.8 % of part-time work and 30.8 % of full-time work, thereby making a significant contribution to agricultural production; whereas work carried out by spouses and other female family members on farms may constitute ‘invisible work’, as there is still no professional status which makes it possible to recognise the work of these women in the Member States;
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas social and economic circumstances and living conditions have changed substantially in recent decades and differ quite considerably between the Member States as well as within them; whereas the concept of multifunctionality has opened up new opportunities for women, thanks to innovation and the creation of new concepts which make it possible to inject fresh dynamism into farming; whereas women are very often the promoters of the development of these additional innovative and dynamic activities on or outside the farm beyond the scope of agricultural production, making it possible to impart real added value to activities in rural areas;
Amendment 80 #
Motion for a resolution Recital K a (new) Ka. whereas employment rates in rural areas are low both for men and for women, and whereas many women are never active in the labour market and are therefore neither registered as unemployed nor included in unemployment statistics;

Amendment 85 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L L. whereas about 30 % of farm holdings in the EU are managed by women, laments nevertheless that women in rural areas have limited access to farmland ownership and the labour market; whereas fully recognising the role played by women in agriculture also involves increasing the proportion of farms managed or co-managed by them and facilitating their access to farmland ownership;
Amendment 86 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L a (new) La. whereas not being the owner of the farm means not having rights of any kind (rights to single payments, suckler cow premiums, vine planting rights, income, etc.), and this places women farmers in a highly vulnerable situation, where in some cases they are even excluded from aid for female workers within the framework of positive action schemes, and this situation occurs regardless of whether or not the women concerned are registered with the social security system;
Amendment 87 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L a (new) La. whereas the owner of a farm is the only person mentioned on bank documents and for the purposes of subsidies and accumulated rights, and is also the only person to represent a farm within associations and groups, and in the vast majority of cases the owner is a man;

Motion for a resolution Recital L a (new) La. whereas women’s access to farm ownership or co-ownership should be promoted through European programmes as a means of giving them access to all labour, social and economic rights;
Amendment 89 #

Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas social and economic circumstances and living conditions have changed substantially in recent decades and differ quite considerably between the Member States as well as within them; whereas the concept of multifunctionality has opened up new challenges and opportunities for women; whereas women are very often the promoters of the development of additional activities on or outside the farm beyond the scope of agricultural production; whereas economic, infrastructure-related and social factors can make it more difficult for women to take on new roles;
Amendment 90 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L a (new) L a. whereas there are a significant number of female workers in agriculture, and most women are classified as the holder's spouse, corresponding to 80.1% of all spouses in 20071a ; _________________ 1aEuropean Commission (2012), 'Agricultural Economic Briefs. Women in EU agriculture and rural areas: hard work, low profile', Brief No 7 – June 2012.
Amendment 91 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L a (new) L a. Whereas women's engagement in the labour market also provides means for households to prevent poverty or to improve living conditions;
Amendment 92 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L b (new) Lb. whereas in 2007 only 29% of farm owners in the EU were women, which means that the majority of CAP aid goes to men, and furthermore women own the smallest farms which are often excluded from the CAP;
Amendment 93 #
Motion for a resolution Recital L b (new) L b. whereas in the predominantly rural areas of the EU, only 61% of women aged 20 to 64 were employed in 20091b ; _________________ 1bEuropean Commission (2011), 'Agriculture and Rural Development.
