Amendment 163 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
8. Encourages innovative solutions in animal housing systems that can contribute to a higher level of animal welfare and consequently lead to higher levels of animal health, by reducing the need for veterinary medicinal products, including antimicrobials; stresses that the application of antimicrobials should be prudent and responsible and would be improved by improving the entire production chain with more efficient and faster diagnostic tools that rely on data, better real-time monitoring, targeted precautionary measures and new ways of dispensing in order to combat antimicrobial resistance; taking account that in those Member States which already have exceeded the reasonable level in antimicrobial resistance, can maintain the higher than EU-regulation level, if necessary;

Amendment 196 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
12. Highlights that a sizeable proportion of biotic waste streams are already used as, for example, animal feed or base material for biofuels; considers, however, that these materials should generate even higher outputs by aiming for the most added value and by using new technologies such as biorefining, insect breeding, solid state fermentation, biogas extraction and the extraction of minerals from manure and usage of the surplus of the manure as a renewable energy source; notes the lack of economies of scale for agricultural by- products and waste streams, and encourages the Commission to support their reuse by facilitating EU-wide recognition systems and special rural development programmes, to facilitate cross-border circulation and to improve synergy and coherence with other EU policies;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24
24. Stresses that the CAP should be more focused on farmers’ needs while not compromising policy goals; stresses the need for a more simple and flexible legislative framework that is better aligned to deliver synergies with other sectors such as chemicals, health and technology, by enhancing knowledge crossovers, integration of resource use and better understanding of reciprocal effects in order to optimise their interplay and better integrate with the circular economy, stresses further that a market-oriented CAP will enhance the innovative power and competitiveness of the European agricultural sector by reducing government intervention and stimulating entrepreneurship;
