REPORT on 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 products and amending Regulations (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EC) No 1107/2009 PDF (821 KB) DOC (418 KB)

Recital 8 a (new)
(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.

Recital 13
(13) For certain recovered wastes within the meaning of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council20 of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives, 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. _________________ 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).

Recital 14
(14) Certain substances and mixtures, commonly referred to as agronomic additives, improve the nutrient release pattern of a nutrient in a fertiliser. Substances and mixtures made available on the market with the intention of them being added to CE marked fertilising products for that purpose should fulfil certain efficacy criteria at the responsibility of the manufacturer of those substances or mixtures, and should therefore as such be considered as CE marked fertilising products under this Regulation. Furthermore, CE marked fertilising products containing such substances or mixtures should be subject to certain efficacy and safety criteria. Such substances and mixtures should therefore also be regulated as component materials for CE marked fertilising products.

Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) Fertilising products which are CE marked in accordance with this Regulation should be afforded equal treatment and not unduly discriminated against by rules laid down in other Union legislation. No preferences should be granted to any type of CE fertilizing products and no derogations should be granted to PFC from generally-applicable EU law, in particular from Directive 91/676/EEC. No incentives should be granted to any type of fertilizing products, to the exclusion of other types, as they are contrary to the concept of parity and equal treatment under EU law.
