Recital 15
(15) In taking the relevant measures at Union and national level to achieve the climate-neutrality objective, Member States and the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission should take into account the contribution of the transition to climate neutrality to the well- being of citizens, the prosperity of society and the competitiveness of the economy, including agricultural production; energy and food security and affordability; dependence on imports of products and raw materials from third countries that do not always share the EU’s high levels of ambition and apply lesser requirements to their economies and production; fairness and solidarity across and within Member States considering their economic capability, national circumstances and the need for convergence over time; the need to ensure a just and socially fair transition; best available scientific evidence, in particular the findings reported by the IPCC; the need to integrate climate change related risks into investment and planning decisions; cost-effectiveness and technological neutrality in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions and removals and increasing resilience; progression over time in environmental integrity and level of ambition.

Recital 21 a (new)
(21а) Imports of agricultural products and foodstuffs from third countries have risen constantly in recent years. That trend dictates that an assessment should be made of which products imported from third countries are subject to requirements comparable to those applicable to European farmers and whose origins lie in the objectives of EU policies on reducing the impact of climate change. The Commission should submit a report and communication on this topic to the European Parliament and the Council by 30 June 2021.
