lpv:translated text	". − I am speaking on behalf of Mrs Buitenweg, the draftsman of the opinion of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, who is ill and has sent her apologies. The Committee on the Environment drew up 17 recommendations, of which I shall highlight four. 1. The Committee on the Environment welcomes the fact that, in its Communication, the European Commission intends to respond to the challenge of climate change and to support less intensive farming practices. 2. The Committee on the Environment stresses the need to develop in the direction of sustainable, multifunctional agriculture, and in so doing takes a stand for conservation farming and organic farming. 3. The European Commission is urged not to weaken the existing measures on cross-compliance – that is, measures on the environment and animal welfare and the compatibility of these – through so-called simplification. On the contrary, in our view, cross-compliance should even be strengthened in certain areas, such as water use and management and water quality. 4. The Committee warns the Commission to show a little more restraint regarding the concept of ‘biofuels’. Their benefit is questionable, and they are certainly not unequivocally good in either environmental or social respects."@en1
