Translation of "Espèces résistantes " (French → English) :

Recognises the need to maintain and use genetic resources for long-term food security and to broaden the genetic base of modern plant and animal breeding programmes; recognises that organic farms face a shortage of new varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases and which could be cultivated without the use of plant protection products; supports the concept of access and benefit sharing, but urges implementation of the Nagoya Protocol, under Regulation (EU) No 511/2014, and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1866, so that bree ...[+++]ders are not deterred by the complexity and cost arising from using wild material to introduce new traits such as pest and disease resistance, nutritional quality and environmental resilience; notes that this should be done without disempowering rural communities that have stewarded species and bred varieties throughout the years.

16. Recalls that farmers are helping to increase forest resources by planting trees, using stratified agro-forestry systems or foresting poor-quality soil or soil unsuitable for efficient methods of farming, as well as contributing to the provision of certain protection systems and the identification of hardy species; considers that the EU should continue to provide aid for forestation under the national rural development programmes, while making sure that these initiatives do not interfere with the market;

54. Maintains that rural producers, producer groups and public bodies should be made eligible for forestry measures in the second pillar of the CAP; considers that the EU should continue to provide aid for forestation under the national rural development programmes, while making sure that these initiatives do not interfere with the market and that forestation measures rely on local, pest-resistant and fire-resistant material and contribute to biodiversity conservation; stresses further that forestation efforts must prioritise tree species which considerably improve the quality of soil and biodiversity, while respecting the characterist ...[+++]ics of the location of planting, native species and the need for mixed forests;

8. Advocates funding for the establishment of forestry policies introducing preventive forestry measures based on the planting of species of tree, shrub and vegetation that are resistant to drought stress and to soils which have suffered degradation over time, thanks to damaging agricultural practices such as the burning of stubble alongside roads, streams and ditches;

11. Calls on the Commission to undertake a detailed analysis of the causes, consequences and repercussions of this summer's fires, especially for Europe's forests, to submit proposals for the development of a Community policy for bringing forest fires under control, and to draw up a common firefighting protocol; calls for the reforestation of affected areas to be based on respect for their bio-climatic and environmental features, using species and varieties more resistant to fire and drought and adapted to local conditions; emphasises the need for Community support for the replanting of forests;
