AMENDMENT
The Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development submits the following to the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, as the committee responsible:
Amendment 1
Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (2) In response to the 2024 Draghi report5 which points to regulatory obstacles and the regulatory administrative burden as one of the key challenges, notably for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the Competitiveness Compass6 identifies a set of horizontal enablers to underpin competitiveness including simplifying regulatory environment, reducing burden and favouring speed and flexibility. | In response to the 2024 Draghi report5 which points to regulatory obstacles and the regulatory administrative burden as one of the key challenges, notably for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the Competitiveness Compass6 identifies a set of horizontal enablers to underpin competitiveness including simplifying regulatory environment, reducing burden and favouring speed and flexibility. Regulatory stability is also a key enabler of competitiveness, as it reduces investment uncertainty, unlocks long-term capital, and lowers compliance costs. |

Amendment 2
Proposal for a directive
Recital 4 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (4a) In the case of livestock-rearing activities, simplifying the legislation should translate into a real reduction in the administrative burden for livestock farms, taking into account their production-related nature, their family aspect in many Member States, the contribution they make to maintaining the fabric of rural areas, and the structural difference that they have in relation to major industrial installations. The environmental standards that apply to farming must be proportionate, clear, verifiable, and compatible with the economic viability of livestock farms. |
Amendment 3
Proposal for a directive
Read the rest (461 paragraphs)
Recital 4 b (new)
| Present text | Amendment |
|---|---|
| ‘(4b) The introduction of new environmental and health standards for rearing activities covered by this Directive should go hand in hand with the effective enforcement of strict reciprocity clauses in free trade agreements with third countries. In order to prevent any distortion of competition that may be detrimental to the economic viability of European farms and in order to ensure total transparency for consumers, the EU should ensure that imported products comply with strictly equivalent requirements.’ |
(02010L0075)
Justification
The introduction of additional standards without genuine reciprocity in international trade agreements places a heavy burden on European farmers who have to contend with unfair competition. This situation poses a threat to the EU’s food sovereignty and is confusing for consumers, who find themselves confronted with products available on the market which are not subject to the same quality and sustainability requirements.
Amendment 4
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (7a) The possibility for several installations to be covered by a single environmental management system should not be interpreted as permission to regard several livestock farms that are close to each other as a single installation automatically. In the case of livestock farms, it should only be possible to consider them jointly in this way where there is a genuine operational connection, such as common manure management, common feed systems, ventilation, operations management or integrated technical management. |
Amendment 5
Proposal for a directive
Recital 10 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (10a) The publication of environmental information should respect the need to protect sensitive data, the security of the farms in question, and the specific circumstances faced by family-owned livestock farms. Transparency should not result in the public disclosure of information that could disproportionately identify the operators, reveal sensitive production-related or financial data, compromise the biosecurity of the installations in question, or give rise to any legal uncertainty and unwarranted pressure on food producers. |
Amendment 6
Proposal for a directive
Recital 15
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (15) Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial and livestock rearing emissions does not currently include organic pig farms in its scope, while it includes organic poultry farms in it. With a view to ensuring a coherent approach for the organic livestock sector, and given that the organic poultry sector is already subject to specific legislation, it is appropriate to remove organic poultry farms from the scope of the directive. | deleted |
Amendment 7
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16) Under the current rules, unweaned piglets count in addition to the sows when calculating the capacity of livestock installations. Given that unweaned piglets are only causing low emissions, it is appropriate to adjust the conversion rate used to calculate the LSU level of an installation, so that unweaned piglets are not counted for the calculation of the installation capacity. | deleted |
Amendment 8
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16a) In order to ensure that the provisions relating to livestock-rearing activities are applied uniformly, predictably and proportionately, their scope and compliance schedule should be based on criteria that are objective, verifiable and easy for the operators and the competent authorities to apply. Thresholds expressed in terms of places or production capacity provide greater legal certainty than conversion methods that are based on larger livestock-rearing units and which can give rise to administrative complexity and differences in interpretation. |
Amendment 9
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 b (new)
| Present text | Amendment |
|---|---|
| ‘(16b) The setting of thresholds for farms should be subject to careful assessment, and any changes should be based on studies analysing potential impacts. A lowering of these thresholds could bring about unintended and undesirable consequences; this would increase the administrative burden on smaller holdings which would not be able to afford the cost of compliance, thereby promoting farm concentration to the detriment of the smallest holdings.’ |
(32010L0075)
Amendment 10
Proposal for a directive
Recital 16 c (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16c) The inclusion of new livestock farms within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU should respect the principle of proportionality and take into account the real impact of such farms on global emissions, as well as the economic and administrative burden imposed on the operators. Union legislation should not hasten the disappearance of viable farms or foster a concentration of production based on disproportionate bureaucratic obligations. |
Amendment 11
Proposal for a directive
Recital 22 b (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (22b) The application of the rules on aggregation set out in Article 70b(1) requires a case-by-case assessment of the structural, geographical, and production conditions of livestock farms, which vary significantly among Member States due to differing agricultural traditions, land tenure structures, and organizational models in the livestock sector. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity set forth in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union, Member States are best placed to determine the criteria for applying the aggregation rule in their national context, while respecting the anti-avoidance function of the provision. |
Justification
The addition of this recital is intended to emphasize that national specificities can be better understood by Member States in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity

Article 16 – paragraph 2
| Present text | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (1b) In Article 16, paragraph 2 is replaced by the following: | |
| 2. The frequency of the periodic monitoring referred to in Article 14(1), point (e), shall be determined by the competent authority in a permit for each individual installation or in general binding rules. | ‘2. The frequency of the periodic monitoring referred to in Article 14(1), point (e), shall be determined by the competent authority in general binding rules. |
| Monitoring requirements may be replaced by equivalent monitoring or technical measures ensuring an equivalent level of environmental protection. | |
| The monitoring frequency may be reduced if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable. | |
| Without prejudice to the first subparagraph, periodic monitoring shall be carried out as set out in the BAT conclusions, where applicable, and at least once every 4 years for groundwater and 9 years for soil, unless such monitoring is based on a systematic appraisal of the risk of contamination. | Without prejudice to the first subparagraph, periodic monitoring shall be carried out as set out in the BAT conclusions, where applicable, and at least once every 4 years for groundwater and 9 years for soil, unless such monitoring is based on a systematic appraisal of the risk of contamination.’ |
Justification
Installations experience huge increases in monitoring requirements being introduced in the BAT conclusions, which result in large administrative burdens with no real environmental effect. The environmental authorities do not have possibilities to alter the frequency of the monitoring or approve alternative methods for measurements and monitoring.
Amendment 24
Proposal for a directive
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 3 a (new)
Directive 2010/75/EU
Article 70a a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3a) The following Article is inserted: | |
| ‘Article 70aa | |
| Overriding public interest | |
| Member States shall ensure that, in permitting procedures, as well as in the planning, construction and operation of livestock installations pursuant to Chapter VIa, including related infrastructures and installations, these activities are presumed to be in the overriding public interest, in particular serving food production, security of supply and sustainable agricultural management. | |
| Member States shall ensure that permitting procedures for such activities are conducted efficiently and without undue delay. | |
| Member States may, in duly justified individual cases, restrict the application of this paragraph to specific parts of their territory, specific categories of livestock installations or installations with specific technical characteristics. | |
| Member States shall inform the Commission of such restrictions and provide justification therefor.’ |
Justification
Livestock farming makes an essential contribution to food production and security of supply in the Union. In a context of growing uncertainty and increasing requirements, maintaining a viable and sustainable production capacity is of particular importance. Classifying such activities as being in the overriding public interest strengthens legal certainty and enables more efficient procedures without undermining the objectives of Directive 2010/75/EU. It ensures an appropriate balance between environmental protection and food security.

Article 70e – paragraph 3
| Present text | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3p) In Article 70e, paragraph 3 is replaced by the following: | |
| 3. The operator shall, without delay, make available the data and information listed in paragraph 2 to the competent authority upon request. The competent authority may make such a request in order to verify compliance with the uniform conditions for operating rules. The competent authority shall make that request if a member of the public requests access to the data or information listed in paragraph 2. | ‘3. Upon request, the operator shall make available to the competent authority the data and information referred to in paragraph 2.’ |
Justification
The competent authority should not be permitted to provide monitoring results to any member of the public without regard to whether that person has a legitimate interest in accessing such information. Indeed, monitoring data may contain farmers’ personal data.

Article 70h – paragraph 2 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3y) in Article 70h the following paragraph is added: | |
| ‘2a. In the context of judicial proceedings relating to permitting decisions under this Directive, Member States may preclude arguments from being raised before a court of law where they were not raised during the administrative stage, as long as the competent authority made available the necessary information in due time so that those arguments were known or could have been known and reviewed during the administrative stage leading to the authorisation of the project, without prejudice to the right of access to justice.’ |
(Directive 2010/75/EU https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02010L0075-20240804)
Justification
This provision has been incorporated from Article 6 of the proposal on the acceleration of environmental assessments. A preclusion rule is necessary to enhance the efficiency and legal certainty of authorisation procedures under this Directive. Procedures falling within the scope of Directive 2010/75/EU are often complex and technically demanding, and involve extensive public participation requirements. To ensure proper and swift decision-making, it is necessary for all relevant objections and arguments to be raised as early as possible in the administrative procedure

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 3 ae (new)
Directive 2010/75/EU
Article 70i – paragraph 3 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3ae) In Article 70i, the following paragraph is added: | |
| ‘(3a) Member States shall apply the uniform conditions for operating rules adopted pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Article as fully harmonised requirements. They shall not adopt or maintain any additional or more stringent national measures concerning emission reduction, nutrient and manure management, housing systems, environmental performance obligations or other operational environmental requirements for activities falling under Annex Ia, unless stricter measures are explicitly required by binding Union law.’ |
Justification
Article 70i sets uniform rules to ensure fully harmonised environmental requirements for livestock installations. Stricter national measures (“gold-plating”) risk fragmentation, competitive distortions and production leakage without added environmental benefit. The sector is particularly sensitive due to high capital intensity and tight margins. Clarifying full harmonisation ensures equal ambition, legal certainty and a level playing field, while allowing stricter rules only where required by binding EU law.

| (a) the geographical location of the installation; | |
| (b) the local environmental conditions; | |
| (c) the climate or regional conditions; | |
| (d) the technical, structural or production-related characteristics of the installation in question. | |
| In such cases, the competent authority shall explicitly justify the decision, including the outcome of the assessment carried out and the justification for the conditions imposed. Application of this derogation may not compromise compliance with the relevant environmental quality standards. ’ |

Directive 2010/75/EU
Article 70i – paragraph 3 c (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3ag) in Article 70i, the following paragraph is added: | |
| ‘(3c) The uniform rules on operating conditions adopted under this Article shall constitute fully harmonised requirements for the activities covered by Annex Ia, and Member States shall not adopt or maintain additional or more stringent national measures concerning emission reduction, nutrient and manure management, housing systems, environmental performance obligations, or other operational environmental requirements for those activities, unless such a derogation is explicitly provided for under Union law. | |
| By way of derogation from the first sentence and Article 70c, the competent authority may, in duly justified exceptional cases, set less stringent emission limit values or environmental performance standards where a documented assessment demonstrates that achieving the levels resulting from the application of the uniform rules would entail costs that are manifestly disproportionate to the environmental benefits, provided that no significant pollution is caused and that all Union environmental quality standards are respected. The competent authority shall set out, in an annex to the permit conditions, the reasons justifying such a derogation, including the results of the assessment and the justification for the conditions imposed.’ |
Justification
The implementing act on UCOL should be adopted no later than 1 September 2027, rather than 1 September 2026, in order to establish operating rules that are technically and economically feasible and to revise the implementing rules currently under development, which risk placing many farms in a situation of non-compliance. In addition, the implementing act on UCOL should be subject to an impact assessment. Furthermore, the new paragraph 4 aims to prohibit gold-plating with regard to operating rules, while allowing Member States, in certain clearly defined cases, to establish less stringent emission limit values or environmental performance standards.
