Amendment

(5) The European Green Deal sets out the Commission’s commitment to tackling climate change and environment-related challenges. It aims to transform the Union’s economy to create a more sustainable future. The Union rules on the production and marketing of FRM need to be in line with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council4 , which establishes the Union framework for achieving climate neutrality, and with the three implementing strategies of the European Green Deal, as presented in Commission Communication of 20 May 2020 entitled ‘EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 – Bringing nature back into our lives’ (‘EU Biodiversity Strategy’), Commission Communication of 24 February 2021 entitled ‘Forging a climate-resilient Europe – the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change’ (‘EU Adaptation Strategy’) and Commission Communication of 16 July 2021 entitled ‘New EU Forest Strategy for 2030’ (‘EU Forest Strategy’).

(5) The European Green Deal sets out the Commission’s commitment to tackling climate change and environment-related challenges. It aims to transform the Union’s economy to create a more sustainable future, although the evident consequences such as increasing the bureaucratic burden, interference of the EU to national forest policy, weakening the rural economic activity, loss of agricultural competitiveness, unability of small family farms with fewer resources to adapt, reductions in intensive livestock farming, weaker food security and regulations affecting rural regions excessively. The Union rules on the production and marketing of FRM do not need to be in line with Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of the European Parliament and of the Council4 , which establishes the Union framework for achieving climate neutrality, and with the three implementing strategies of the European Green Deal, as presented in Commission Communication of 20 May 2020 entitled ‘EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 – Bringing nature back into our lives’ (‘EU Biodiversity Strategy’), Commission Communication of 24 February 2021 entitled ‘Forging a climate-resilient Europe – the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change’ (‘EU Adaptation Strategy’) and Commission Communication of 16 July 2021 entitled ‘New EU Forest Strategy for 2030’ (‘EU Forest Strategy’).
