Paragraph 16

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
16. Calls on the Commission to update the financial allocations for POSEI to reflect cumulative inflation in the next MFF and regrets that the 2 % deflator applied to direct payments has not also been considered for POSEI in the current MFF;16. Calls on the Commission to update the financial allocations for POSEI to reflect, as a minimum, cumulative inflation in the next multiannual financial framework and regrets that the 2 % deflator applied to direct payments has not also been considered for POSEI in the current MFF; stresses that mere indexation to inflation is insufficient to meet the growing challenges faced by farmers in the outermost regions, where production, transport, logistics and supply costs are structurally higher; argues, therefore, that the increase in POSEI funding should also take into account the real, specific agricultural needs of these regions, including changes in production costs, exposure to extreme weather events, territorial fragmentation, market volatility and the need to ensure the economic viability of farms and fair incomes for farmers; stresses, in this context, the importance of creating a specific mechanism, namely a POSEI Transport programme, which will help mitigate the additional transport costs of products and factors of production in the outermost regions; reiterates that adequate funding for POSEI is essential for the continuation of agricultural activity in the outermost regions and for ensuring the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the European Union, in full compliance with Article 349 TFEU, which recognises the specific nature of these regions and the need to adopt differentiated measures to address their permanent constraints;

Paragraph 23 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
23a. Notes that for the period 2023-27, the common agricultural policy (CAP) was built around ten key objectives, focused on social, environmental and economic goals; these were, to ensure a fair income for farmers; to increase competitiveness; to improve the position of farmers in the food chain; climate change action; environmental care; to preserve landscapes and biodiversity; to support generational renewal; vibrant rural areas; to protect food and health quality; fostering knowledge and innovation; highlights that the CAP Strategic plan regulation contained a wide range of tools to achieve these objectives, from capping of direct payments and the complementary redistributive income support for sustainability (CRISS) to support small farmers, to eco-schemes and option for higher level action from the second pillar to support environmental actions; regrets that the vast majority of the Member States did not avail of the wide ranging tools and option they had at their disposal and only did the minimum required under the regulation despite have the option to be more ambitious; is convinced therefore that the new regulation must be ambitious in laying down supports for small farmers, young farmers and the environment, while respecting subsidiarity, as the Member stated have demonstrated an unwillingness to take on the vested interests who are in favour of the status quo;

__________________
1a EIB is administered by member states while the funds promised for agriculture is private financing from outside of the CAP budget ; it makes sense this funding is also directed to support national and regional admin capacity and investment into their IT systems to make the interface simpler for farmers. There is no budget now under the CAP for this, nor is there likely to be in the next MFF.

Urges the Commission to incorporate a water resilience perspective into the post-2027 CAP in order to take a holistic and integrated water management approach and allocate more investment to boosting retention in the soil and landscape, and to modernise and make irrigation infrastructure more efficient, so as to make agriculture more efficient and resilient, including water as an essential element in the protection of food sovereignty; points out the need to regulate water storage systems 1a so that all farmers in the drainage basin have fair access to the shared resource, and using cumulative hydrological assessments of the whole catchment, to avoid water tables dropping and to ensure functional flow of rivers for downstream users including fisheries. Points out the need to promote water efficiency and water saving including in water/irrigation infrastructure and agronomy, greater use of reclaimed and desalinated water in order to provide water security and balance and to support farming practices that improve water efficiency and resilience , especially by increasing soil quality to absorb and retain more water on and in the land, reducing erosion, and use of agroforestry and other agroecological techniques and organic farming; on this point, looks forward to the presentation of the water resilience strategy in 2025;
__________________
1a Reservoirs are a subset of water storage systems. It is also not clear what a “regulating reservoir” is. Also, regulation of surface storage is important to avoid wasting precious water resources due to evaporation and blocking infiltration and percolation to the groundwater supply; it is imperative that water tables do not drop, so that all users can access water and to avoid that other farmers have to dig deeper wells at their own (enormous) expense.
