Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1 a (new)
Paragraph 1 a (new)
1 a. Calls on the Commission to broaden the European carbon certification framework by taking into account the reduction of all greenhouse gases emitted by agriculture and carbon sequestration, since, at EU level, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) account for 56% and 39% respectively of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural production, while carbon dioxide (CO2) represents only a minor proportion of these emissions. Furthermore, covering all greenhouse gases would be more coherent at the farm level and increases the incentives for land managers.
Amendment 35 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Believes that the future certification system should not generate a disproportionate administrative burden that would discourage the participation of land managers, and should not result in penalties where carbon sequestration is lower than expected for reasons beyond the control of land managers.
Amendment 41 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2 b (new)
Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. Is of the opinion that the new European certification framework should be a tool contributing to the achievement of the EU objectives on both the effort sharing regulation (ESR) and the Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry Regulation (LULUCF) in order to make the same agricultural credit compatible by both a company and a Member State without putting into question the environmental integrity of the carbon credit.
Amendment 65 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recalls the fact that carbon farming practices provide additional environmental and social co-benefits, such as improved biodiversity, enhanced ecosystem services and the increased resilience of EU agriculture; insists that the economic valuation of co-benefits be fully integrated into the European certification scheme in order to strengthen the environmental ambition and integrity of the scheme for buyers.
Amendment 115 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7 a. Calls on the Commission to clearly define additionality criteria for projects to be developed under the European certification framework.These projects must enable the implementation of greenhouse gas emission reduction and carbon absorption practices that go beyond : - the obligations arising from the legislative and regulatory texts in force; - the various incentives that exist, in particular economic incentives, whatever their origin; - common practice in the relevant sector of activity.
Amendment 141 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)

Amendment 148 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 8 b (new)
Paragraph 8 b (new)
8 b. Calls on the Commission to make full use of the expert group it plans to set up in order to benefit from existing experience in this area.
