Modifica dei dazi doganali applicabili alle importazioni di determinate merci originarie della Federazione russa e della Repubblica di Bielorussia o esportate direttamente o indirettamente da tali paesi

Aggiunto: (5 a) Low-cost gas and lack of any emissions regulations allow the Russian Federation and Belarus to weaken the market position of Union producers, whose competitiveness is curbed by compliance with the Union´s Emission Trading System, which adds further costs, estimated at 10 to 15 % of production expenses. Therefore, support for the European fertiliser industry cannot be limited to imposing tariffs on imported fertilisers: a long-term protection and growth strategy is needed, which should aim at securing diversified supplies of affordable natural gas and easing the regulatory burden on the fertiliser industry, either by excluding it from the scope of the Directive 2003/87/EC, or by allocating to it additional free greenhouse gas emission allowances.
