"Can the Commission state what measures it intends to take in the context of the new CAP to promote initiatives aimed at preventing soil erosion?
Question 33 by Nadezhda Neynsky ()
Without a significant increase in targeted subsidies for Bulgaria, the agriculture sector there could collapse. This is especially serious in times of crisis. Bulgaria and Romania, which, in 2007, were the last countries to join the EU, receive just 40% of the amount granted in agricultural subsidies to established Member States such as Germany, France and others. The 100% alignment of subsidies under the treaty on the accession of those countries to the EU is only due to take place in 2016. Does the Commission intend to accelerate the increase in the level of subsidies granted to Bulgaria during the negotiations on the new framework for the common agricultural policy for the period 2014-2020 which are currently in progress and, if so, will the criteria be modified?
Question 34 by Sandrine Bélier ()
In its report of 21 September 2010 (), Parliament clearly denounced the failure of the European strategy for halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010. Increasingly intensive farming, growing use of pesticides and fertilisers, the increasing size of agricultural holdings, the development of monoculture: agricultural biodiversity is particularly affected and is in an alarming state.
We have to act, and act fast. As the report points out, a cross-sector approach is needed: the protection and restoration of our natural capital is not solely a matter for environmental policies. These considerations must be integrated into all of the EU’s policies: the way we see the agriculture of tomorrow is decisive.
Sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity calls for a firm commitment to an ecologically sustainable future. We need to take advantage of the CAP reform to reverse the trend and ensure that biodiversity is protected and restored. Bioconditionality is a major element in this change.
In light of the failure of efforts to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010, could the Commission state what criteria on protection of biodiversity will be integrated into the CAP after 2013. Would it be possible to use this new policy to restore agricultural biodiversity?

Question 35 by Janusz Wojciechowski ()
In George Lyon’s report on the future of the common agricultural policy after 2013, which was adopted on 8 July 2010, Parliament called for ‘a fair distribution of CAP payments’ and insisted ‘that it should be fair to farmers in both new and old Member States’.
What steps is the Commission taking and what solutions does it intend to put forward with a view to acting on this call for CAP payments to be fairly distributed between the old and new Member States?
Taking the view that the hectare basis for aid is inadequate for ensuring a fair distribution of direct aid under the CAP after 2013, the European Parliament has called on the Commission to propose additional objective criteria and assess their potential impact, bearing in mind the complexity of the agricultural sector and the differences between the Member States (Lyon report on the future of the CAP after 2013).
Will the Commission say what specific measures it has taken in this connection? What criteria is it considering for direct aid distribution?
Question 32 by Giovanni La Via ()
An increasing number of disasters are occurring in central, eastern and southern Europe owing to hydrogeological disturbances.
In its resolution of 5 May 2010 on agriculture in the Union and climate change (2009/2157 (INI)), Parliament stressed that the ‘next reform of the CAP’ should include ‘protecting the soil from water and wind erosion by ensuring organic matter content’."@en1
