Annex 1

Declaration of the EPP Group regarding the objection pursuant to Rule 88(2) of the list of permitted health claims made on foods

The EPP group has always supported the idea of a scientifically based assessment of the validity of health-related claims on foodstuff. Any health claim made on food must be true and may not mislead consumers. Unfortunately, the evaluation process of claims submitted for approval has revealed severe shortcomings which can result in unfair treatment and conflicting assessments. In the ENVI committee meeting on 20 March 2012, even the representative by GD SANCO admitted that "the process was not perfect." Therefore, the EPP group has decided to support the resolution rejecting the list of approved health claims.

Our main concerns are:

The evaluation of claims by stages can have a discriminatory effectProducts, whose claims have already been rejected under the application procedure for individual claims or in the list are being disadvantaged in comparison to botanical claims or claims on hold, since these claims can be made until their evaluation is finalized. Therefore, the publication of the list is premature.

The separate evaluation of claims might result in unequal treatmentGiven the difficulty to assess botanical claims, the Commission decided to review the evaluation criteria applied in the scrutiny process for this food category and to evaluate them at a later stage. However, this might result in unequal treatment. We are specifically concerned that pharmaceutical criteria might be applied when assessing foods such as herbal teas. Most foods cannot be up to such a tight standard.

The method of evaluation is too restrictiveThe evaluation method of the scientific evidence on some claims appears to be exaggerated for foodstuff. The requirement of clinical trial studies equals the approval procedure for pharmaceuticals. As a result, some decisions on claims contradict nutrition recommendations by internationally respected bodies such as WHO.

The rejection of claims despite favourable EFSA opinion is unscientificThe decision by the Commission to prohibit claims on the effect of sodium and fats, although these claims have been positively assessed by EFSA, contradicts the scientific approach of the evaluation procedure. The argumentation of the Commission that positive advertising should not be allowed on "allegedly" unhealthy products, clearly results from the intention of the Commission to develop nutrition profiles. Since the profiles have yet to be established and have to undergo a scrutiny procedure, the rejection of these positively assessed claims is premature and of political nature. It is not acceptable that the Commission makes political decisions whilst ignoring the European Parliament.

The evaluation process discriminates against SMEsThe evaluation procedure imposes obstacles which can hardly be met by SMEs. We


EN

do therefore consider it necessary to have an SME representative in the management board of EFSA

The above concerns reveal that the regulation, in its current form, is not feasible in practice. Given that Article 7 of the new regulation on food information to consumers (No 1169/2011) already covers major contents of the health claims regulation, we propose a general revision of Commission regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.

On behalf of the EPP-Group

Dr. Renate Sommer, MEP

Summary Note

Interparliamentary Committee MeetingTowards the Rio+20 Summit

European Parliament, Brussels21 March 2012

Annex 3

33 Members from 20 Parliamentary Chambers in 19 EU Member States participated in the inter-parliamentary committee meeting on "Rio+20" on 21 March in Brussels. The event was organised by the EP Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) with the support of the Directorate for Relations with national Parliaments. Meeting documents, background information and photos are available on the ICM website.

Session I: Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development<PathFdR>PV\898347EN.doc</PathFdR> 47/70 PE<NoPE>487.673</NoPE><Version>v01-00</Version>

http://www.europarl.europa.eu/webnp/cms/lang/en/pid/1705

ENVI Chair Matthias Groote MEP (S&D, DE) welcomed the participants and gave the floor to Lone Loklindt, Chairwoman of the Environment Committee of the Danish Parliament and keynote speaker for the first session. Ms Loklindt underlined that the outcome of the Rio+20 should be a "focused and political declaration" setting out a shared vision for change, as well as goals with agreed time-frames. There is an urgent need to reform the institutional framework for sustainable development to accelerate global action.

In this context, Ms Loklindt endorsed the proposals made in the Rio+20 "zero draft" outcome document, such as the integration of sustainable development in the over-arching structure of the UN General Assembly, the transformation of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development into a Sustainable Development Council, and welcomed an upgrade of the UN Environmental Programme. Ms Loklindt underlined the fact that the EU is a driving force for a green economy, and that Rio+20 provides a unique opportunity for the world to make concrete and ambitious commitments. "Parliamentarians should take the opportunity to participate and influence the outcome", Ms Loklindt said.

In the ensuing debate, 13 national Parliamentarians and 12 MEPs took the floor, as did the President of the European Economic and Social Committee and a representative of the EU Committee of the Regions.


EN

Parliamentarians call for new institutional frameworkThe vast majority of participants agreed that the institutional framework for sustainable development was in need of reform. The proposal to strengthen UNEP was explicitly welcomed by Jo Leinen MEP (S&D, DE), Thérèse Snoy et d'Oppuers (BE, Chambre/Kamer), Marieke van der Werf (NL, Tweede Kamer), Staffan Nilsson, President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and Michel Lebrun, Member of the Committee of the Regions of the EU.

Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy (ALDE, NL), who will lead the EP's delegation to the Rio+20 Summit, underlined that a new "WTO"-style organisation for the environment, together with an International Criminal Court for the Environment were needed. Mr Adamos Adamou (CY, House of Representatives) said that conflicts of competence between the various UN agencies needed to be avoided. Leo Brincat (MT, Kamra tad-Deputati) stated that the institutional infrastructure needed to be "beefed up", while Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado) supported the proposals for a new institutional architecture. Richard Seeber MEP (EPP, AT) suggested that the UN should support cooperation in cross-border river basins. Gilles Pargneaux MEP (S&D, FR), said that we have a "big problem" concerning governance and that a WTO-style organisation for the environment would be an interesting idea. Vittorio Prodi MEP (S&D, IT) agreed that we needed to take a "fresh look" at international structures.

Tõnis Lukas (EE, Riigikogu) said that we have to be "very wise" when creating new institutions, to avoid new bureaucracy. According to Miroslav Ouzký MEP (ECR, CZ), there is a danger of "getting lost" in institutional discussions.

Actions, not words: Rio needs concrete commitmentsVicente Aparici (ES, Senado) spoke of Rio+20 as "a very important opportunity" for achieving real sustainable development. Many speakers emphasised the need to agree concrete targets and timelines at Rio+20, including Leo Brincat (MT, Kamra tad-Deputati), Helmut Heiderich (DE, Bundestag), Jo Leinen MEP (S&D, DE), Fernand Boden (LU, Chambre des Députés) António Ramos Preto (PT, Assembleia da República), Judith A. Merkies MEP (S&D, NL) and Nikos Chrysogelos MEP (Greens/EFA, EL).

Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado) stressed that the current economic crisis must not be an excuse for neglecting environmental commitments, a warning which was echoed by Andres Perello Rodriguez MEP (S&D, ES). Zofija Mazej Kukovič MEP (EPP, SI) spoke of the importance of changing our thinking and lifestyles if we want to achieve sustainable development.

Mobilising public opinion, pushing governmentsLaurence Rossignol (FR, Senate) stressed that national Parliaments play an important role in mobilising public opinion, and feared an unsuccessful outcome to the summit if public opinion were not fully behind it. Joan Walley (UK/House of Commons) also underlined the important role of Parliamentarians in raising awareness on the subject of sustainable development. Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP (ALDE, NL) said that participants should not underestimate their role in pushing governments to be more ambitious on Rio+20. Ewa Wolak (PL, Sejm), Jolanta Emilia Hibner MEP (EPP, PL), Staffan Nilsson (EESC President) and Gilles Pargneaux MEP (S&D, FR), reiterated the importance of involving civil society in the Rio+20 process.

Lone Loklindt (DK/Folketinget) acknowledged that many of the goals of the 1992 'Earth Summit' had not been achieved, and that we now have to raise awareness of sustainable development. Loklindt underlined that some small steps towards sustainable development had been made during the past 20 years, but that now, a huge leap forward was needed.

ENVI Chair Matthias Groote MEP (S&D, DE) concluded by saying that the discussions showed a great deal of convergence between participants and high-lighted the importance of communicating Rio+20 to the public.

Lunch debate hosted by EP Vice-President Anni Podimata on behalf of President Martin Schulz

In her lunch speech, EP Vice-President Anni Podimata (S&D, EL) emphasised that members of national Parliaments and the European Parliament have a prominent role to play in the preparations for Rio+20. She underlined that we have to make full use of the opportunities offered by the Lisbon Treaty and enhance the existing cooperation between Parliamentarians.

Session II: A Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication

ENVI Chair Matthias Groote MEP (S&D, DE) gave the floor to Janez Potočnik, Commissioner for the Environment and keynote speaker for the second session. Mr Potočnik stressed the important role of Parliaments in the process, especially after the conference as it is the parliaments that hold the governments - that will make commitments in June - to account, and that will be instrumental in ensuring that the commitments are not forgotten about until Rio +40.

Mr Potočnik explained that the concept of a Green Economy is not a new one; we have, until now, referred to it under the name of "resource efficiency". The over-arching objective is to decouple resource use and its impacts from economic growth, which requires a legislative approach, changes in our behaviour as producers and consumers, and the involvement of the private sector. Mr Potočnik further stressed that the Commission's roadmap to resource efficiency is perhaps a European approach, but the problem is a global one. Global megatrends make resource efficient growth a necessity - in fact an inevitability - for rich countries and poor countries; for resource-rich countries and for resource-poor countries. The next few months, our task will be to explain this logic, and to overcome the immediate presumption that there is some hidden and selfish motive behind the whole concept of a green economy, and that it is not a matter of green protectionism. We further wish to stress that green economy is not in competition with the other pillars of sustainable development; an inclusive green economy ought to be seen rather as one of the main vehicles to actually achieving sustainable development, not only in Europe but also globally. Mr Potočnik called on the Parliamentarians to help in getting this message across at every opportunity in the coming months.

Mr Potočnik explained the latest state of the art on the negotiations leading to the Rio+20 Summit, and on the development of the EU position. In March, the European Council adopted conclusions that we should work towards clear operational targets and concrete action at


EN

national and international level within agreed time frames. This gave a firm mandate to the Environment Council one week later, when the Commission was invited to present proposals in five principal areas ("pillars of life"): sustainable energy, water, land degradation and eco-systems, marine environment, and resource efficiency. The Commission is thus currently working on developing operational targets in these 5 areas, to take with us to the negotiations. Mr Potočnik however noted that not all partners in the global conference agree with this ambitious EU position.

In addition, Mr Potočnik elaborated upon the Colombian concept of Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"), noting that these SDGs would be rather implementation-oriented and for all levels of development, while the current Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were predominantly for developing countries. Mr Potočnik emphasized the importance of the participation of business and civil society at Rio and post-Rio. Mr Potočnik pointed out that for global purposes, they will try to build upon progress made at Nagoya and Durban, and that they will continue to show that the EU is an active listener, willing to adapt.

In the ensuing debate, 11 national Parliamentarians and 6 MEPs took the floor.

A roadmap for an inclusive Green EconomyLeo Brincat (MT, Kamra tad-Deputati) stressed that we need concrete implementation, rather than declarations of intent, and robust indicators to track progress. In addition, green growth should be tailored to meet the needs of different countries. Many other speakers, including Judith A. Merkies MEP (S&D, NL) and Elena O. Antonescu MEP (EPP, RO), further emphasized the need for specific objectives, and a timetable and strategy on how to achieve these objectives. Richard Seeber MEP (EPP, AT) referred to working on price signals and taking into account the "price of eco-systems"; Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado) said that sustainability has a price and that we need to pay for maintaining our eco-systems; Bas Eickhout MEP (Greens/EFA, NL) would like to see a shift in taxation; and Elena O. Antonescu MEP (EPP, RO) high-lighted the need to eliminate environmentally harmful subsidies. Thérèse Snoy et d'Oppuers (BE, Chambre/Kamer) stressed that a green economy has to be understood as a whole economy which functions within the limits of our planet.

Several speakers, including Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado), mentioned that the economic crisis should be seen as an opportunity rather than a risk. Rovana Plumb MEP (S&D, RO) and Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado) further noted that a green economy could be an important source for green jobs. Adamos Adamou (CY, House of Representatives) pointed out that the economic crisis could lead to a reduction of funds assigned for environmental protection. He further noted that the human dimension must be at the heart of our development. In addition Rovana Plumb MEP (S&D, RO) stressed that the environmental and social dimension should not be watered down because of the economic crisis. Both Miguel Fidalgo (ES, Senado) and Elena O. Antonescu MEP (EPP, RO) high-lighted the need to take into account social aspects and correcting inequalities. Torben Hansen (DK, Folketinget) pointed out that the price of doing nothing is a lot higher than doing something. Tiberiu Günthner (RO, Camera Deputatilor) further said that the SDGs could positively contribute to progress on the condition that they are accompanied by a green economy roadmap. Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP (ALDE, NL) stressed the importance of showing developing countries that a green economy is for their own future the way forward.


EN

Awareness raising and involvement of the civil society and the private sectorElena O. Antonescu MEP (EPP, RO), Joan Walley (UK/House of Commons) emphasized the need to take businesses and the private sector into account. She further noted that, in order to succeed, regulations should be combined with education and awareness campaigns. The need for more education and awareness was supported by Tõnis Lukas (EE, Riigikogu) and Judith A. Merkies MEP (S&D, NL).

To show how our economy is evolving, Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP (ALDE, NL) gave the example of inclusion of data on CO2 emissions in car advertisements, although many consumers would often rather buy the car because "it is heavy weight-wise, and has fast acceleration", than because of its low emission level. This shows the importance of sustainable production processes in order to become more competitive. Vicente Aparici (ES, Senado) noted the potential of high performance technologies for energy enhancement, and the importance of recovery and recycle practices; Judith A. Merkies MEP (S&D, NL) referred to substitution of resources and appropriate labeling; Roger Negri (LU, Chambre des Députés) noted the need for rational and renewable energy use; Thérèse Snoy et d'Oppuers (BE, Chambre/Kamer) suggested a gradual withdrawal of nuclear energy and put the emphasis on small scale farmers.

On-going negotiations and role of the ParliamentsTiberiu Günthner (RO, Camera Deputatilor) spoke about the success of the CSD-19 and how it raised many hopes on the contribution to the Rio+20 Summit. The final document however, did not fully reflect the outcome of CSD-19. Janez Vasle (SL, Drzavni Zbor) referred to the prevailing scepticism amongst several players in the negotiations and stressed the need for a strengthened institutional framework, as was discussed in the morning session.

Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy MEP (ALDE, NL), Joan Walley (UK/House of Commons) and Judith A. Merkies MEP (S&D, NL) emphasized the role the international legislators network GLOBE can play in this whole process, especially when it comes to putting pressure on our own governments, and suggested all parliamentarians sign up to GLOBE.

Concluding remarksMr Potočnik confirmed the need for robust indicators and for the SDGs to be accompanied by a roadmap with clear targets and time-frames to give it more credibility. In addition, he said that companies had already been applying a green economy approach as it had become an economic imperative, even if one did not care for environmental concerns. By not taking this road the danger would mean disappearing from the face of the market. For this reason refocusing from labour to resources has become an essential factor to take into account. He stressed the need for education and awareness, for getting the private sector fully involved and thus the need for market measures and fconditions to attract businesses to invest. Furthermore, Mr Potočnik said that GLOBE is definitely worth investing in. ENVI Chair Matthias Groote MEP (S&D, DE) concluded by saying that today's conference was an excellent start to turn Rio+20 into a success. He noted that a real transformation of the economy will cost us money; but stressed that by not taking an action, by not making Rio+20 into a success will cost even more, and that an honest debate on the internalisation of costs was much needed. In addition Mr Groote emphasized the need to have clear and quantifiable objectives on sustainable energy, resource efficiency and energy efficiency, and that it would


EN

be then up to the Parliaments to transform the binding targets into legislation. Furthermore, he noted there is a great deal of agreement in environmental politics in the European and national Parliaments, while on the other hand there is a need to convince colleagues in other policy areas that a green economy is a solution, and is indeed a way out of the crisis.

C.9. Request by Mr Davies on oral question on European zoos[JV/YG]

The following draft Oral Question was received from Chris Davies on behalf of the ALDE Group:

"The Zoo Directive (1999/22/EC) provides for the strengthening of the role of zoos in the conservation of biodiversity, and requires Member States to ensure that zoos participate in research which benefits conservation and/or develop captive breeding programmes, while maintaining a high standard of husbandry and accommodating animals in conditions that provide species specific enrichment. While Europe's leading zoos may meet these requirements, studies by the Born Free Foundation suggest that the vast majority of zoos are not in compliance, that many zoo operators lack the necessary knowledge and expertise, and that only a small minority demonstrate a commitment to conservation. What steps is the Commission taking to ensure more effective implementation of the Directive, particularly with regard to the conservation of biodiversity?"

Decision:

The Coordinators decided that the above Oral Question should be discussed in the ENVI Committee (Rule 197).
