Amen­de­menten Hazekamp tot wijziging van Richtlijn 2010/75/EU van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 24 november 2010 inzake indu­striële emissies en Richtlijn 1999/31/EG van de Raad van 26 April 1999 over het storten van afval­stoffen

Proposal for a directive on amending Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) and Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999 on the landfill of waste of the Plenary.

Amendment 1
Anja Hazekamp, Marisa Matias

Proposal for a directive
Recital 4

Text proposed by the Commission

(4) Rearing of pigs, poultry and cattle cause significant pollutant emissions into the air and water. In order to reduce such pollutant emissions, including ammonia, methane, nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air, water and soil quality, it is necessary to lower the threshold above which pigs and poultry installations are included within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU and to include also cattle farming within that scope. Relevant BAT requirements take into consideration the nature, size, density and complexity of these installations, including the specificities of pasture based cattle rearing systems, where animals are only seasonally reared in indoor installations, and the range of environmental impacts they may have. The proportionality requirements in BATs aim to incentivise farmers to implement the necessary transition towards increasingly environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Amendment

(4) Rearing of pigs, poultry and cattle cause significant pollutant emissions into the air and water. In order to reduce such pollutant emissions, including ammonia, methane, nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions and thereby improve air, water and soil quality, the number of farmed animals should be significantly reduced, additionally, it is necessary to lower the threshold above which large pigs and poultry installations are included within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU and to include also cattle farming within that scope, to meet the commitments made under the Global Methane Pledge. Relevant BAT requirements take into consideration the nature, size, density and complexity of these installations, including the specificities of pasture based cattle rearing systems, where animals are only seasonally reared in indoor installations, animal welfare and the range of environmental impacts they may have. The proportionality requirements in BATs aim to incentivise farmers to implement the necessary transition towards increasingly environmentally and animal friendlier agricultural practices. BAT requirements should be consulted with environmental and animal NGOs on a regular basis. High environmental standards in both industrial activities and intensive animal rearing tend to increase the production value of products, complying with the requirements of Union environmental legislation. It is therefore essential, in order to promote higher environmental standards worldwide, to introduce reciprocity with producers outside of the Union, thus incentivising the import onto the internal market of products complying with similar environmental obligations, starting with agricultural production under Annex Ia as provided for in this Directive and potentially extending such reciprocity to industrial activities

(This amendment replaces AM 5 of the ENVI committee report.)

Amendment 2
Marisa Matias, Anja Hazekamp

Proposal for a directive
Recital 4 a (new)

Amendment

(4 a) Decision (EU) 2022/591 of the European Parliament and the Council on General Union Environmental Action Programme to 2030 holistically recognises the interconnections between human health, animal health and the environment through integration of the One Health approach in policy making. Therefore, the One Health approach should be taken into account while implementing this Directive.

Amendment 3

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 - paragraph 1 - point 1 a (new)
Directive 2010/75/EU
Article 1 - paragraph 2 b (new)

Amendment

(1 a) When undertaking the actions to meet their obligations set out in this Directive, Member States shall consider the need to ensure a just and socially fair transition for all. The Commission may issue guidance to support Member States in that regard.

Justification

Similar just transition references were added to Regulation (EU) 2018/841 (LULUCF) and Regulation (EU) 2018/841 (ESR) in their revisions. The concept should also be mainstreamed in this Directive in order to promote a fair and inclusive industrial transition.

(This amendment replaces AM 53 of the ENVI committee report.)

Justification

Proposal for a directive
Article 1 - paragraph 1 - point 3 - point e
Directive 2010/75/EU
Article 3 - paragraph 1 - point 23c a (new)

Amendment

(23c b) ‘extensive farming’ refers to a type of animal rearing characterised by low levels of input per unit area of land, based on extensive practices, with livestock unit density equal to or less than 1.0 LSU per hectare (LSU/ha density) used for grazing, or based on farming practices certified in accordance with Directive 2018/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2018 on organic production and labelling of organic products, with livestjock unit density equal to or less than 1.0 LSU per hectare (LSU/ha density) used for grazing or foraging, or rearing practices where livestock is subject to transhumance practices at least 180 days per year or as long as climatic conditions allow, in particular in alpine regions.

(This amendment replaces AM 54 of the ENVI committee report.)

Justification

Scientists have pointed out that the threshold for extensive farming should be maximum 1.0 LSU per hectare (LSU/ha density) in the EU: https://unece.org/sites/defaul...

Where emissions of a greenhouse gas from an installation are specified in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC in relation to an activity carried out in that installation, the permit shall not
include an emission limit value for direct emissions of that gas, unless necessary to ensure that no significant local pollution is caused.

Amendment
