   Annex I

   Eingereicht von Anja Hazekamp, Marina Mesure, Mick Wallace +4 · The Left

   Entfernt: Criteria of equivalence of NGT plants to conventional plants A NGT plant is considered equivalent to conventional plants when it differs from the recipient/parental plant by no more than 20 genetic modifications of the types referred to in points 1 to 5, in any DNA sequence sharing sequence similarity with the targeted site that can be predicted by bioinformatic tools. (1) substitution or insertion of no more than 20 nucleotides; (2) deletion of any number of nucleotides; (3) on the condition that the genetic modification does not interrupt an endogenous gene: (a) targeted insertion of a contiguous DNA sequence existing in the breeder’s gene pool; (b) targeted substitution of an endogenous DNA sequence with a contiguous DNA sequence existing in the breeder’s gene pool; (4) targeted inversion of a sequence of any number of nucleotides; (5) any other targeted modification of any size, on the condition that the resulting DNA sequences already occur (possibly with modifications as accepted under points (1) and/or (2)) in a species from the breeders’ gene pool.

    Recital 1 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1a) The use of plants modified by new genomic techniques is presented as a solution to help the European agricultural sector adapt to current challenges, despite the fact that it may pose unprecedented risks to health and biodiversity. This regulation is at odds with the precautionary principle and promotes an intensive and predatory agricultural model for European farmers.

    Recital 1 b (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1b) To allow all farmers to make a decent living from their work, there is a pressing need to limit large retailers’ margins and carry out a thorough reform of the Common Agricultural Policy so as to support those wishing to move towards an alternative production model free from industrial farming interests and products that are dangerous to farmers’ and consumers’ health and the environment. In this regard, an immediate end also needs to be put to free trade agreements that push farmers to the lowest social and environmental standard to keep up with unfair international competition.

    Recital 1 c (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1c) Directive 2001/18/EC established a legislative framework for genetically modified organisms, including plants obtained by new genomic techniques, as upheld by a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in 2018. It provides for a crucial risk assessment mechanism which, since its adoption, has ensured the effectiveness of the precautionary principle laid down in Article 191 TFEU. By stepping away from that directive, this Regulation therefore compromises the precautionary principle which has prevailed until now.

15. Änderungsantrag 166 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 1 d (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1d) Under Article 290 TFEU, a legislative act may delegate to the European Commission the power to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or modify certain non-essential elements of the legislative act. It should therefore not be possible to amend, by means of a delegated act, certain essential parts of this Regulation, such as Annex I, which determines the equivalence criteria for classifying a plant obtained by category 1 new genomic techniques.

16. Änderungsantrag 167 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAngenommen

    Recital 1 e (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1e) Allowing for new genomic techniques and their results to be patented risks giving multinational seed companies even more power over farmers’ access to seeds. In a context where large companies already have a monopoly on seeds and increasingly control natural resources, this would deprive farmers of all freedom of action by making them dependent on private companies. For this reason, patents on these products must be banned.

17. Änderungsantrag 168 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 1 f (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (1f) Plants obtained by new genomic techniques are genetically modified organisms, as affirmed by many scientists. These plants should therefore be governed by all EU rules on genetically modified organisms, in particular Directive 2001/18/EC.

18. Änderungsantrag 171 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 3 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (3a) The use of NGTs is presented by an increasing number of interest groups as a solution to help the European agricultural sector adapt to climate issues and international competition, despite the fact that it may pose unprecedented risks to health and biodiversity. Moreover, recent advances in biotechnology cannot resolve structural economic issues, such as the growing impoverishment of farmers, the collapse of biodiversity, global warming, famines or the development of zoonoses.

19. Änderungsantrag 204 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 37 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (37a) The sustainability objectives of the Green Deal and the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies require firm action to be taken by the Union to achieve an agri-ecological transition of agricultural systems. Such a transition is, by its very principles, contrary to the use of NGT plants. In addition, the deliberate placing on the market and dissemination in the environment of NGT plants exposes organic farming systems to cross-plot contamination via natural phenomena such as wind or pollination, which could endanger the credibility of their labels, to the point of eliminating them.

20. Änderungsantrag 210 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 42 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (42a) Member States should retain the possibility for each of them to make use of the safeguard clause provided for in Directive 2001/18/EC in order to protect themselves against the cultivation and marketing on their territory of genetically modified plants, in particular those obtained by new genomic techniques, if they consider that this could endanger the health of their population or jeopardise the equilibrium of their ecosystems.

21. Änderungsantrag 212 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 43a (new)

    Eingereicht von Marina Mesure, Manon Aubry, Leila Chaibi · The Left

    Hinzugefügt: (43a) The peoples of Europe, like all living beings, depend on access to healthy food to ensure their continued good health. The consumer’s right to information guarantees everyone the opportunity to be informed about the quality of the products they buy, in accordance with Article 169 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Therefore, the traceability and labelling of food products, especially NTGs, throughout the production and distribution chain is necessary to ensure compliance with this principle.

    Article 32 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Christophe Clergeau · S&D

    Hinzugefügt: Article32a Penalties and withdrawal of the decision Member States shall lay down the rules on penalties applicable in case of failure to disclose any information requested in the verification procedure or in the authorisation procedure. The competent authority may withdraw its decision. The penalties provided for shall be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. The withdrawal decision must be sent by registered letter to the beneficiary of the decision, who must be given 15 days to make observations. In that case, the marketing of the NGT plant or product is prohibited from the day following the date of receipt of the registered letter. Member States shall notify the rules referred to in the first subparagraph to the Commission and the other Member States without delay. Any subsequent decision of penalties or withdrawal shall also be notified without delay.

25. Änderungsantrag 238 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 24 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Martin Häusling · Verts/ALE

    Hinzugefügt: (24 a) Organic and conventional operators should have the right and freedom not to use NGTs in their production process and throughout their supply chain. This Regulation shall lay out adequate provisions to ensure the freedom of choice for operators not to use NGT plants and seeds, both category 1 and 2, in their production processes. Any additional financial and legal burden to ensure the GMO and NGT-free status of production should not fall on farmers and operators who do not wish to use NGTs. Economic losses incurred due to the adventitious presence of GMOs shall not fall on NGT-free conventional and organic operators. In most cases of adventitious presence, it is impossible to establish the causes, faults, and therefore responsibilities. Thus, this Regulation shall establish coexistence measures, laying the basis for national liability provisions and compensation funds.

    Recital 37

    Eingereicht von Christophe Clergeau · S&D

    Entfernt: (37) In order to enable NGT plants to contribute to the sustainability objectives of the Green Deal and the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategies, cultivation of NGT plants in the Union should be facilitated. This requires predictability for breeders and farmers as regards the possibility to cultivate such plants in the Union. Therefore, the possibility for Member States to adopt measures restricting or prohibiting the cultivation of category 2 NGT plants in all or part of their territory, set out in Article 26b of Directive 2001/18/EC would undermine those goals. Hinzugefügt: deleted

27. Änderungsantrag 240 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAbgelehnt

    Recital 38

    Eingereicht von Christophe Clergeau · S&D

    … special rules laid down in this Regulation concerning the authorisation procedure for Entfernt: category 2 NGT plants are expected to result in more cultivation in the Union of Entfernt: category 2 NGT plants compared to the situation so far under the current Union … renders necessary for Member States’ public authorities to define coexistence measures to Entfernt: balance Hinzugefügt: protect the interests of producers of Entfernt: conventional, organic and GM Hinzugefügt: conventional and organic plants and thereby allow producers a choice between different types of production, … target of 25 % of agricultural land under organic farming by 2030. Hinzugefügt: Organic and conventional operators should have the right and freedom not to use NGTs in their production process and throughout their supply chain. This Regulation should lay out adequate provisions to ensure the freedom of choice for operators not to use NGT plants and seeds in their production processes. Any additional financial or legal burden to ensure the GMO-free and NGT-free status of production should not fall on farmers and operators who do not wish to use NGTs. Economic losses incurred due to the adventitious presence of GMOs should not fall on NGT-free conventional and organic operators. In most cases of adventitious presence, it is impossible to establish the causes, faults, and therefore responsibilities. To achieve the goal of ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market, and in order to ensure that the coexistence measures are consistent, EU-wide legally binding coexistence measures for cultivation of NGTs should be adopted. Thus, this Regulation should establish coexistence measures, laying the basis for national liability provisions and compensation funds. The Commission should be empowered to draw up delegated acts to cover, in particular, the width of buffer strips between conventional plants and NGT plants, for each type of crop.

28. Änderungsantrag 241 · Entwurf eines GesetzgebungsaktsAngenommen

    Recital 47 a (new)

    Eingereicht von Martin Häusling · Verts/ALE

    Hinzugefügt: (47 a) The European Green Deal, the ‘Farm to Fork’, and the EU Biodiversity Strategies put organic farming at the core of a transition to sustainable food systems, with a target to expand European agricultural land under organic production to 25 % by 2030. This is a clear recognition of the environmental benefits of organic farming, for less dependency on inputs for farmers, and a resilient food supply and food sovereignty. This Regulation must not adversely undermine the pathway to a transition of European food systems to organic farming to 25 % by 2030.

    Recital 47 c (new)

    Eingereicht von Martin Häusling · Verts/ALE

    Hinzugefügt: (47 c) Traceability requirements for food and feed produced from NGTs should be established to facilitate the accurate labelling of such products, in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on genetically modified food and feed, so as to ensure that accurate information is available to operators and consumers to enable them to exercise their freedom of choice in an effective manner, as well as to enable control and verification of labelling claims. Requirements for food and feed produced from NGTs should be similar in order to avoid discontinuity of information in cases of change in end use.
