(COM(2025)0471 – C10-0193/2025 – 2025/0261(COD))
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (3 a) The European Union regrets that the so-called “Turnberry” political agreement contains unprecedented concessions, particularly in the areas of energy, investment, and industrial cooperation, and does not appear to have any legal basis on an explicit, precise, and up-to-date mandate of negotiation, in accordance with Article 207 of the TFEU. |

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (4 a) United States agriculture continues to make extensive use of active substances that are banned in the European Union, and the proposed agreement thus creates structural unfair competition between European producers who adhere to a more sustainable and virtuous model and United States imports produced under lax standards, generating an increased risk to the health of European consumers. There is therefore concern about the European Commission’s future responsibility for diseases linked to these imports and their consumption by European citizens. |

Recital 4 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
| (4 b) The European Union stresses that the United States is one of the European Union’s main competitors in the agricultural sector, with significant differences in production standards, regulatory frameworks and cost structures; considers that this agreement undermines Union standards and the sustainability of the European agricultural model, to the exclusive benefit of the United States. It undermines European food sovereignty, is contrary to CAP objectives and creates a major tariff imbalance without adequate and robust safeguards. |
