Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15 a (new)

(15a) Manufacturers are key players for the development of alternative to chemical pesticides, whose availability is a necessary step to reach the objectives of this Regulation. It is therefore relevant to ask them to develop a transformation plan, using solid already existing indicators in the EU law, in order to understand how they contribute to the replacement of chemical pesticides with non-chemical alternatives, such as biological control product or services to reduce the use of input or to enhance the uptake of relevant agronomic practices. Such an obligation would enhance transparency of the production of pesticides, and urge manufacturer to switch their business model.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 48 a (new)

(48a) In order to support the transition to sustainable food systems and to support the international agreement of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, it is important to continue to strengthen the coherence between the European Green Deal, the European Union's sectoral policies and the common trade policy. This coherence requires, in particular, better application of European production standards, in particular sanitary, phytosanitary, environmental and animal welfare standards, to imported products. A variety of tools exist for this purpose at multilateral, bilateral and autonomous level, as noted in the European Commission's report of June 2022, and has to be used in the relevant Regulations and their appropriate application (the Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on MRLs for instance). This Regulation must contribute to this coherence.
