OPINION on a European strategy for the promotion of protein crops – Encouraging the production of protein and leguminous plants in the European agriculture sector
Amendments (9)
Amendment 132 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Considers it important to conduct a profound evaluation of earlier policies on protein crops before introducing new strategies;
Amendment 183 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Hopes that crops such as lucerne, clover, sainfoin, and many other legumes and their mixed cultivation with grasses may be reintroduced into large-scale cultivation and forage systems;
Amendment 187 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Considers it advisable to develop regional protein production and processing chains by creating closer links between cereal farmers and livestock farmers (supply and exchange contracts, building of decentral small to medium large "green protein" bio/refining plants), and deems it useful, to that end, to assist risk- taking by operators entering small supply chains for protein-based food and feed;
Amendment 203 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Believes that there is an untapped potential in plant breeding, especially for higher protein content in cereals and legumes, but also the development of cultivation-proof varieties of leguminous seeds;
Amendment 246 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Believes it is important to consider the consequences of any further restriction concerning the use of fertilizers in relation to the production of protein;
Amendment 254 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Calls for research and development of smaller, regional protein bio-refining units to extract “green protein” from forage legumes and/or grass/legume mixes which could benefit rural developments and employment;
Amendment 272 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Considers it important for the CAP to support protein crop cultivation by means of the voluntary coupled payment (which, if not restricted to crops and regions in difficulty, would give scope for more action) and the greening payment, and by means of the second pillar, particularly through agro- environmental measures on organic farming, investment quality, advice, training and of course innovation via the EIP;
Amendment 281 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18 a (new)
Paragraph 18 a (new)
18a. Considers it important that the CAP ensures a level playing field between Member States for the production of protein crops in the European Union; this would be an important pre-condition for the functioning of the internal market; therefore voluntary coupled support should continue to be restricted to crops and regions in difficulty, and encourages Member States to offer farmers to use nitrogen fixing crops as Ecological Focus Area;
Amendment 310 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20 a (new)
Paragraph 20 a (new)
20a. Believes that the current research in the field of a strategy for protein crops is fragmented and lacking focus; calls for a larger R & D effort;
