Recital E a (new)
Ea. whereas the attainment of European objectives in the field of the circular economy, water quality and implementation of climate legislation is hampered by obsolete or incorrectly implemented European legislation in force, as in the case of high-grade mineral concentrates from manure treatment, as green substitutes for artificial fertilisers, and the associated reduction of the carbon footprint of, and emissions from, agricultural production; whereas the adoption of circular 'end-of- livestock-manure' criteria to supplement both Directive 91/676/EEC and the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules on the making available on the market of CE marked fertilising products1 a and harmonised implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 by all Member States and regions in the Union are essential conditions for the closure of regional mineral cycles, increasing soil fertility, improving water quality and attaining climate targets; _________________ 1a Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules on the making available on the market of CE marked fertilising products and amending Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EC) No 1107/2009 (COM(2016) 0157).
