Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)

Ca. whereas non-compliance, non- harmonised standards and the absence of legal milestones inevitably lead to the following problems in relation to the implementation of European environment law: - failure to transpose directives properly, or at all; - lack of compliance with fundamental secondary obligations under directives; - structural problems arising from a lack of information about environmental legislation; - lack of coordination between administrative structures; - inadequate implementation due to insufficient or delayed investment in the infrastructure required to safeguard the environment;

Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution

Motion for a resolution
Recital F d (new)

Fd. whereas effective implementation must be ensured by: - information: greater efforts to share best practices and regulatory experience, including the statistical monitoring of environmental legislation and infringements thereof, can lead to significant mutual benefits; - dissemination: thereby enhancing the impact and visibility of Community environmental programmes; - reorganisation of administrative structures: with a view to improving the collection of data, communication, and access to information at all levels of governance and every stage of the policy- making process, including investment in telematic equipment;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1 a (new)

1a. Deplores the fact that, although regional and local authorities have clear tasks in environmental protection, EU environmental legislation addresses Member States ‘only’, requests the designation of a ‘competent authority’ only (seldom ‘authorities’) and mentions cooperation only exceptionally;

Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 a (new)

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3 b (new)

3b. Recognises that, by introducing simpler rules which are easier for the stakeholders involved to understand, and hence ensuring greater legal certainty, simplification could also help to reduce the incidence of errors and increase the safeguards provided by national implementing systems;

Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 a (new)

4a. With that end in view, deplores the Commission’s failure to ensure the completion of an exhaustive impact assessment of the administrative and regulatory burdens which would be imposed by any new EU initiative arising from the communication in question; urges the Commission, therefore, to do so;

2012/12/18
Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4 b (new)

4b. Calls on the Commission, consequently, to extend the global assessment of the impact of implementing environmental legislation properly and more effectively to include local and regional authorities; an additional means of ensuring the legislation was consistent and proportionate would be to require an impact assessment of any proposals for transposition which might place a strain on undertakings investing in the environmental sector;

2012/12/18
Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5

5. Points to the need to relax the market distortion rules where these act as a disincentive to environment-related investment and hence impede the implementation of European regulations; considers, therefore, that ways must be found to lower administrative costs directly, including for example: - the exchange of best practices; - avoiding ‘gold-plating’, in other words, the imposition of unnecessary burdens and obligations on SMEs; - e-government and digital solutions; - simplified and increasingly automated reporting procedures, generally involving web tools which enable beneficiaries to submit programmes to the authorities, keep all information in an electronic format and use the data which is held in public registers; this would reduce the problems connected with retaining information, the errors made when entering data and the effort involved in having to submit documents more than once;

2012/12/18
Committee: ENVI

2012/2104(INI)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)

5a. Stresses the need for European legislation to aim to tackle the causes of environmental damage by establishing rules concerning legal responsibility for environmental damage as well as corporate social responsibility; with that end in view, considers that it is essential to carry into effect all the initiatives designed to encourage and propagate greater corporate social responsibility in relation to environmental matters, which reflects the requirement for businesses to be receptive to the sustainable development strategy;

Paragraph 7 a (new)

7a. Notes that, nowadays, environmental disputes (in other words any disputes or public demonstrations relating to actions by public- or private-sector stakeholders which could cause damage to the environment, public health or places where people live) have a significant impact on environmental protection and a wide range of social and economic implications; considers, therefore, that it would be useful to identify the most appropriate models of environmental justice so as to ensure that all the various issues are covered by the law;

Section 1 – paragraph 1 b (new)

1b. Notes on the contrary that the decarbonisation scenarios being envisaged by the Commission presuppose a severing of the link between economic growth and CO2 emissions –implying a revolutionary breakthrough in economic efficiency unheard of over any sustained period in the history of mankind – or, as a more tangible alternative, the beginning of an organised world economic decline;

Committee: ENVI

2012/2103(INI)

Draft opinion
Section 1 – paragraph 7

7. Takes the view that the overall decarbonisation goal necessitates a substantial reduction in transport emissions, which implies a substantial rise in electricity use and thus high levels of investments in electricity infrastructure; notes that quick action is needed to avoid being locked into a higher emission path on account of the long lifecycle of infrastructure.deleted

(8) In accordance with Article 114(3) of the Treaty ofn the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter: “Treaty”), a high level of health protection should be taken as a basis, regard being had, in particular, to any new developments based on scientific facts. Tobacco products are not ordinary commodities and in view of the particularly harmful effects of tobacco, health protection should be given high importance, in particular to reduce smoking prevalence among young people. To that end, it is also essential to continue to provide education, information and prevention campaigns and programmes to help citizens who wish to give up smoking.

Recital 16

(16) The prohibition of tobacco products with characterising flavours does not prohibit the use of individual additives altogether, but obliges the manufactures to reduce the additive or the combination of additives to such an extent that the additives no longer result in a characterising flavour. The use of additives ~~necessary~~which are essential for the manufactur~~ing~~e of tobacco products should be allowed, as long as they do not result in a characterising flavour. The Commission should ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the provision on characterising flavour. Independent panels should be used by the Member States and by the Commission to assist in such decision -making. The application of this Directive should not discriminate between different tobacco varieties.

(22) The labelling provisions also need to be adapted to new scientific evidence. For example the indication of the yields for tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide on cigarette packets haves proven to be misleading as it makes consumers believe that certain cigarettes are less harmful than others. Evidence also suggests that large combined health warnings are more effective than text-only warnings. In this light combined health warnings should become mandatory throughout the Union and, in order to be effective, cover significant and visible parts of the packet surface. ~~A minimum size should be set for all health warnings to ensure their visibility and effectiveness.~~

(22a) Furthermore, several scientific studies show that verbal encouragement to stop smoking is effective when it is aimed at smokers’ egos, indirectly hurting their pride and eliciting an emotional response. Text warnings of this kind, for example: ‘Smoking damages the skin and speeds up wrinkles’, ‘Smoking makes you less attractive’, ‘Nobody likes a cigarette- flavoured kiss’, ‘Quitting won’t make you fat: it will improve your life’, or ‘Think about it: stopping for a cigarette does more harm than the stress you are trying to relieve’, could therefore be combined with the text warnings currently in use.

(23) In order to ensure the integrity and the visibility of health warnings and maximise their efficacy, provisions should be made regarding the d~~imension~~esign characteristics of the warnings as well as regarding certain aspects of the appearance of the tobacco package, including the opening mechanism. The package and the products may mislead consumers, in particular young people, suggesting that products are less harmful. For instance, this is the case with certain texts or features, such as ‘low- tar’, ‘light’, ‘ultra-light’, ‘mild’, ‘natural’, ‘organic’, ‘without additives’, ‘without flavours’, ‘slim’, names, pictures, and figurative or other signs. Likewise, the size and appearance of individual cigarettes can mislead consumers by creating the impression that they are less harmful. A recent study has also shown that smokers of slim cigarettes were more likely to believe that their own brand might be less harmful. This should be addressed.

(30) Cross-border distance sales of tobacco, and practices such as the free distribution or swapping of tobacco products in public places for promotional purposes, facilitate access to tobacco products ofby young people and risk to undermineing compliance with the requirements provided for by tobacco control legislation and in particular by this Directive. Common rules on a notification system are necessary to ensure that this Directive achieves its full potential. The provision on notification of cross-border distance sales of tobacco in this Directive should apply notwithstanding the notification procedure set out in Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services. Business to consumer distance sale of tobacco products is further regulated by Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 1997 on the protection of consumers in respect of distance contracts, which will be replaced by Directive 2011/83/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2011 on consumer rights, as of 13 June 2014.

Recital 23 a (new)

(23a) Under the existing Directive 2011/92/EU, the exploration and extraction of both conventional and non- conventional hydrocarbons is included in Annex II, regardless of the quantity explored or extracted. Such projects require monitoring on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex III, with the aim of determining the significance of their environmental effects. In accordance with the 'Guidance note on the application of Directive 85/337/EEC to projects related to the exploration and exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbons'1 and as called for by the European Parliament resolution on the environmental impacts of shale gas and shale oil extraction activities2, projects involving non- conventional hydrocarbons must be subject to this Directive, as conventional activities already are. Annex I to Directive 2011/92/EU should therefore be amended so that projects related to the exploration and extraction of non-conventional hydrocarbons that are likely to have significant effects on the environment are subject to mandatory environmental impact assessment. __________________ 1 Ares(2011)1339393. 2 P7_TA(2012)0443.

(16) As a consequence of the classification of emission allowances as financial instruments as part of the review of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, those instruments will also come within the scope of this Regulation. Bearing in mind the specific nature of those instruments and structural features of the carbon market, it is necessary to ensure that the activity of Member States, the European Commission and other officially designated bodies involving emission allowances is not restricted in the pursuit of the Union’s climate policy. Moreover, the duty to disclose inside information needs to be addressed to the participants in that market in general. Nevertheless, in order to avoid exposing the market to reporting that is not useful and as well as to maintain cost- efficiency of the measure foreseen, it appears necessary to limit the regulatory impact of that duty to only those ~~EU ETS operators,~~emission allowance market participants that – by virtue of their size and activity – can reasonably be expected to be able to have a significant effect on the price of emission allowances. Where ~~emission allowance market participant~~EU ETS (Emissions Trading System) operators already comply with equivalent inside information disclosure duties, notably pursuant to Regulation on energy market integrity and transparency (Regulation (EU) No…of the European Parliament and the Council on Wholesale Energy Market Integrity and Transparency), the obligation to disclose inside information concerning emission allowances should not lead to the duplication of mandatory disclosures with substantially the same content.

(5) To ensure the sustainable development of rural areas, it is necessary to focus on a limited number of core priorities relating to knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural areas, the competitiveness of all types of agriculture and farm viability, food chain organisation, short supply chains and risk management in agriculture, restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems dependant on agriculture and forestry, resource efficiency and the shift towards a low carbon economy in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors, and promoting social inclusion, poverty reduction and the economic development of rural areas. In doing so account must be taken of the diversity of situations that affect rural areas with different characteristics or different categories of potential beneficiaries and the cross-cutting objectives of innovation, environment and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation action should relate to both limiting emissions in agriculture and forestry from key activities such as livestock production, fertilizer use and to preserving the carbon sinks and enhancing carbon sequestration with regard to land use, land use change and the forestry sector. The Union priority for rural development relating to knowledge transfer and innovation in agriculture, forestry and rural areas should apply horizontally in relation to the other Union priorities for rural development.

Each programme should identify a strategy for meeting targets in relation to the Union priorities for rural development and a selection of measures. Programming should comply with Union priorities for rural development, while being adapted to national and regional contexts and complement the other Union policies, in particular the agricultural market policy, cohesion policy and the common fisheries policy.

(18) Union or national quality schemes for agricultural products and food provide consumers with assurances on the quality and characteristics of the product or the production process used as a result of the participation of farmers in such schemes, achieve added value for the products concerned and enhance their market opportunities. Farmers should therefore be encouraged to participate in these schemes. Given that it is at the moment of entering such schemes and in the early years of their participation that additional costs and obligations imposed on farmers as a result of their participation are not fully remunerated by the market, support should be limited to new participation and cover a period of no more than five years. Given the special characteristics of cotton as a farm product, quality schemes for cotton should also be covered. In order to ensure the efficient and effective use of EAFRD budgetary resources, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of the Union quality schemes that may be covered by this measure.

(28) Agri-environment-climate payments should continue to play a prominent role in supporting the sustainable development of rural areas and in responding to society's increasing demands for environmental services. They should further encourage farmers and other land managers to serve society as a whole by introducing or continuing to apply agricultural practices contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment, the landscape and its features, natural resources, the soil and genetic diversity. In this context the conservation of genetic resources in agriculture and the additional needs of farming systems that are of high nature value should be given specific attention. Payments should contribute to covering additional costs and income foregone resulting from the commitments undertaken and should only cover commitments going beyond relevant mandatory standards and requirements, in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle. In many situations the synergies resulting from commitments undertaken jointly by a group of farmers multiply the environmental and climate benefit. However, joint action brings additional transaction costs which should be compensated adequately. In order to ensure that farmers and other land managers are in a position to correctly implement the commitments they have undertaken, Member States should endeavour to provide them with the required skills and knowledge. Member States should maintain the level of efforts made during the 2007-2013 programming period and have to spend a minimum of 25% of the total contribution from the EAFRD to each rural development programme for climate change mitigation and adaptation and land management, through the agri- environment-climate, organic farming and payments to areas facing natural or other specific constraints measures.

Recital 37

(37) Farmers are exposed today to increasing economic and environmental risks as a consequence of climate change and increased price volatility. In this context, effective management of risks has an increased importance for farmers. For this reason a risk management measure should be set up to assist farmers in addressing the most common risks faced by them. This measure should therefore support farmers to cover the premiums they pay for crop, animal and plant insurance as well as the setting up of mutual funds and the compensation paid by such funds to farmers for losses suffered as a result of the outbreak of animal or plant diseases, adverse climatic events or environmental incidents. It should also cover an income stabilisation tool in the form of a mutual fund to support farmers facing a severe drop in their income. In order to ensure that there is equal treatment among farmers across the Union, that competition is not distorted and that the international obligations of the Union are respected, specific conditions should be provided for the granting of support under these measures. In order to ensure the efficient use of EAFRD budgetary resources the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission in respect of defining the minimum and maximum duration of commercial loans to mutual funds.

Recital 21

(21) Due to the successive integration of various sectors into the single payment scheme and the ensuing period of adjustment granted to farmers, it has become increasingly difficult to justify the presence of significant individual differences in the level of support per hectare resulting from use of historical references. Therefore direct income support should be more equitably distributed ~~between Member States,~~ by reducing the link to historical references and having regard to the overall context of the Union budget. To ensure a more equal distribution of direct support, while taking account of the differences that still exist in wage levels and input costs, the levels of direct support per hectare should be progressively adjusted. Member States with direct payments below the level of 90 % of the average should close one third of the gap between their current level and this level. This convergence should be financed proportionally by all Member States with direct payments above the UnThe redistribution of direct payments should comply with the basic principles of Europa 2020, while highlighting the need to use Union resources for economic growth. To that end, direct payments should be redistributed on the basis of appropriate, objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as the value of agricultural production, a~~verage~~dded value, labour and purchasing power. In addition, all payment entitlements activated in 201922 in a Member State or in a region should ~~have~~approximate to or reach a uniform unit value following a convergence towards this value that should take place during the transition period in ~~linear~~ steps. However, in order to avoid disruptive financial consequences for ~~farme~~productive sectors, Member States having used the single payment scheme, and in particular the historical model, should be allowed to partially take historical factors into account when calculating the value of payment entitlements in the first year of application of the new scheme. The debate on the next Multiannual Financial Framework for the period starting in 2021 should also focus on the objective of complete convergence through the equal distributionmay retain an element of differentiation in relation to direct support in order to take account of differecnt ~~support across the European Union during that period~~types of land use.

Recital 26

(26) One of the objectives of the new CAP is the enhancement of environmental performance ~~through a mandatory "greening" component of direct payments which will support agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment applicable throughout the Union~~. For that purpose, Member States should use part of their national ceilings for direct payments to grant an annual payment~~, on top of the basic payment,~~ for compulsory practices to be followed by farmers addressing, as a priority, both climate and environment policy goals. Those practisces should take the form of simple, generalised, non- contractual and annual actions that go beyond cross- compliance and are linked to agriculture such as crop diversification, maintenance of permanent grassland and pastures, of perennial crops associated with appropriate agronomic practices and of ecological focus areas. T~~he compulsory nature of t~~hose practisces should also concern farmers whose holdings are fully or partly situated in "‘Natura 2000"’ areas covered by Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora and by Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds, as long as these practisces are compatible with the objectives of those Directives. Farmers who fulfil the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 of 28 June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic products and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 should benefit from the "‘greening"’ component without fulfilling any further obligation, given the recognised environmental benefits of the organic farming systems. ~~Non-respect of the "greening" comp~~The same should apply to farmers who sign up for agri-environmental programmes as an aspect of rural development or take part in a national certification scheme of recognised environmental value, or who comply with the environment ~~should lead to penalties on the basis of Article 65 of Regulation (EU) No […] [HZR]~~al guidelines applicable to sustainable operational programmes under the Single CMO, or who adhere to agri-environmental schemes approved at national level.
