Article 16 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 1 a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(6a) in Article 16, paragraph 2, the following subparagraph is added: ‘Products bought in under public intervention may be disposed of by making them available for food and/or non-food uses.’

Or. it

Justification

In order to mitigate serious market disruptions to food uses, it is worth explicitly stating that public intervention may also include incentives designed to make products available for non-food uses (e.g. bioenergy). This in keeping with the bioeconomy strategy and the concomitant requirements on biomass. This measure should not undermine other non-food use markets, but help send out the right signal to markets.

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013

Article 16a a (new)

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
Article 16a (new) Review of the effectiveness of the safety net
(1) By 31 December 2027 and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall assess, using data from the Union’s market observatories, the effectiveness of public intervention and aid for private storage as a safety net. In particular, it shall assess:
(a) whether the reference thresholds, intervention prices and quantitative limits for buying-in at a fixed price in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013 still appropriately reflect market developments, production costs and the general level of prices since they were last fixed;
(b) whether the list of products eligible for intervention pursuant to Article 11 and products in respect of which aid for private storage may be granted pursuant to Article 17 reflects market developments;
(c) whether the procedures guarantee timely mobilisation of the safety net in the event of a crisis.
(2) If the assessment reveals a need for adjustments, the Commission shall present to the Council without delay a proposal pursuant to Article 43(3) TFEU updating Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013, and shall inform the European Parliament about the outcomes of the assessment and the proposed adjustments.
(3) The assessment and any adjustments must not provide for automatic indexation of intervention prices or coupling to the full cost of production.

Or. de

Justification

A safety net whose trigger levels have remained frozen since 2013 no longer fulfils its Treaty function of market stabilisation under Article 39 TFEU. The review clause respects the Council’s competence on price-setting under Article 43(3) TFEU and the judgment in Case C-113/14, while requiring the Commission to carry out regular, data-driven assessments and, where an adjustment is found to be necessary, to submit appropriate proposals. This includes the quantitative ceilings (currently, inter alia, 3 million tonnes of common wheat, 50 000 tonnes of butter, and 109 000 tonnes of skimmed milk powder eligible for intervention at the fixed price) as well as the list of products covered. Paragraph 3 draws a clear distinction from the rapporteur’s proposal for administered prices: updating the system, yes; price controls, no.

Justification

The EU school fruit, vegetables, and milk schemes are intrinsically agricultural policies. Having been established and developed within the Common Market Organisation (CMO) framework, these schemes play a vital, structural role in connecting future consumers with European agricultural producers, stabilizing domestic markets, and fostering sustainable dietary habits. For reasons of both regulatory coherence and operational efficiency, it is imperative that this policy remains anchored within the CMO.

Justification

Given the scale of the challenges around children’s eating habits and the concomitant rise in non-communicable diseases, immediate action is needed to support children across the Union. Education is the primary and most effective means of remedying the long-term situation as regards non-communicable diseases in the Union.

Or. en

Justification

This provision mirrors the substance of Article 5(2) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/40, introducing a necessary terminological update by replacing the term "applicants for aid" with "beneficiaries of the types of interventions under the EU school scheme". While this update clarifies the operational scope of the program, it is essential to structurally distinguish between the entities administering the aid and the actual end-beneficiaries of the policy. The ultimate targets and true beneficiaries of the EU school scheme are the children attending educational establishments, rather than the intermediate bodies or suppliers managing the types of interventions. To ensure legal clarity, prevent administrative misinterpretation, and accurately reflect the public health and educational core of this policy, this amendment supports a clear distinction in nomenclature, reinforcing that intermediate entities function as administrative facilitators while the children remain the primary beneficiaries.

The EU school scheme shall be without prejudice to any separate national school schemes which are compatible with Union legislation. Union financing may be used to extend the scope or effectiveness of any existing national school schemes or school distribution schemes providing fruit, vegetables and milk in educational establishments, but shall not replace funding for those existing national schemes, except in the case of the free distribution of meals to children in educational establishments.

Justification

In order to ensure that the CAP and specifically the CMO Regulation – including the relevant decision-making processes – are implemented more effectively, references to the relevant policies should be moved from the NRP Regulation to the CMO Regulation. This would provide greater autonomy for the CAP and CMO, not least if the Plan were to be amended, and would ultimately speed up the whole process.

Or. en

Justification

To safeguard the integrity of the single market and guarantee a level playing field, the school schemes must remain a fully funded, centralized EU priority. Consequently, we call for the establishment of an exclusive, ringfenced EU budget line within the Single Fund. To protect existing agricultural resources, this envelope must be kept strictly separate from the EUR 293.7 billion already allocated for agriculture. Preserving the school schemes within the CMO is imperative to maintain both legislative coherence and administrative efficiency. Severing this link by shifting the schemes to non-ringfenced National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPPs)—while imposing a mandatory 30% national co-financing rate—introduces severe budgetary instability. It risks fragmenting the internal market and creating a two-tier system where children's access to healthy, European-grown food depends entirely on national fiscal capacities.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
The maximum support rate applicable to those interventions shall be 100 % of the total eligible costs of each intervention.

Or. en

Justification

A 100% support rate would improve the practical accessibility of the EU School Scheme and help ensure that financial constraints do not limit children’s access to milk and dairy products in educational establishments. This is particularly important where schools, local authorities or Member States face budgetary pressure. A fully funded scheme would also support more consistent implementation across the Union.

Separating fruits and vegetables from fresh bananas in different points would mean that, to comply with article 27.6, the information on funds used for supplying “fresh fruit and vegetables” will need to be separated from funds used for supplying “fresh bananas”. As most fruit and vegetable suppliers will also supply fresh bananas, this separation will only increase administrative burden.

The shift from 30 to 35% is aimed at including some cheeses under protected denominations that could otherwise not be part of the program. Besides the new disposition from paragraph 2a transferred from NRPP would bring complexity to the implementation of the program and should then be deleted.

Justification

To improve children’s dietary environments, rigid percentage thresholds for the eligibility of products are not appropriate. They fail to reflect the diversity of regional food production across the Union and risk excluding natural and regionally important foods, including certain fruits and unprocessed or minimally processed products with higher fat content, such as certain cheeses.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
By way of derogation from this paragraph, Member States and schools shall have the flexibility to distribute alternative products to milk to children with documented special dietary restrictions, intolerances, or medical conditions, other than lactose intolerances, upon specific request. Such alternative products shall be limited exclusively to products derived from, or based on, the CN codes listed in Parts IX (Fruit and vegetables), X (Processed fruit and vegetable products), and XVI (Milk and milk products) of Annex I, as well as the protein crop sector.

Or. en

Justification

While the EU School Scheme rightly prioritizes nutritional purity and traditional agricultural sectors, a degree of flexibility is necessary to ensure inclusivity. Children with diagnosed medical conditions, severe lactose intolerance, or specific dietary restrictions should not be excluded from the benefits of the scheme. By limiting these milk alternatives strictly to the products listed in Parts IX, X, and XVI of Annex I (as well as the newly established protein crop sector), this amendment ensures that the alternatives remain deeply rooted in European agricultural production and comply with the overarching structural objectives of the Common Market Organization, without opening the door to highly processed, non-EU synthetic substitutes, nor to naratives against milk and milk products.

The school milk scheme has traditionally allowed a broad choice, including fresh, UHT, organic, conventional, reduced-fat and whole milk.

(c) products which originate from small farms as determined by Member States;
(d) products which comply with fair-trade production standards.
By 2031, Member States should seek to ensure that 50 % of products distributed under the school scheme are organic and originate from short supply chains, and that 100 % of these products originate from small and medium-sized farms and comply with fair trade standards.
Member States must also pay attention to the following when distributing products:
(a) products with low climate footprint;
(b) products which are contained in sustainable packaging;
(c) products which have been produced in compliance with animal welfare standards or practices which are higher than those provided for in Union legislation;
(d) products which have been manufactured in compliance with high social standards.

Justification

The EU school scheme should support high-quality food for children while promoting sustainable food systems, local economies and fair pay for farmers. The support criteria should be cumulative and should prioritise organic and local products from short supply chains which originate from small and medium-sized farms and comply with fair trade standards. An approach of this kind would guarantee coherent implementation by the Member States and contribute to more sustainable and resilient agriculture in Europe. A progressive target with an end date of 2031, including in particular achieving a figure of 50 % for organic products from short supply chains, would make it possible to support changes to supply chains.
