The German Farmers Association (DBV) welcomes the European Commissions initiative to develop a comprehensive strategy on the right to stay and strongly supports the objective. In this context, the DBV emphasises the importance of strengthening rural areas, ensuring equivalent living conditions, and aligning key EU policies and funding instruments to reduce regional disparities and promote sustainable development.
There is a general problem of too little organic livestock farming due to organic legislation. We have around 11-12 % of organic land in the EU. But we have only around 4-5 % organic livestock farming. Organic farming is largely in a 1-4 % niche (except extensive cattle rearing and laying hens with around 10 %). Organic livestock farming is therefore more than half lower than the proportion of organic land.

For the DBV agricultural commodities and food products should be included in a carbon border adjustment in order to prevent carbon leakage in EU agriculture, provided there is a practical way to do it. Given the proposed increase of the EU’s climate ambition (also compared to other countries in the world) it is necessary to reflect the mitigation targets in trade policy in order to avoid carbon leakage (and as a…

In the view of the German Farmers’ Association, the changes proposed by the Commission are a first step in the right direction, but remain completely insufficient and do not reflect the actual situation in Germany and many European Member States.

As the German Farmers’ Association, we recommend raising the maximum authorised weights for vehicles and vehicle combinations to 46 tonnes, for reasons of efficiency, but also for reasons of climate protection. In the agricultural sector, the transport of sugar beet, but also of other agricultural products, is particularly important.

We expressly welcome the European Commission’s fundamental objective of simplifying environmental legislation and thereby strengthening the competitiveness of the sectors concerned. Many existing schemes are complex, sometimes contradictory or outdated and place a significant burden on farms. It is therefore positive that the Commission addresses this issue.

In principle, the German Farmers’ Association (DBV) considers it necessary to develop new financing pathways for the promotion of biodiversity and the conservation of ecosystems and ultimately private capital for nature conservation. The German Farmers’ Association is committed to ensuring that biodiversity-enhancing measures can become a source of income for agricultural holdings or a branch of the farm.

Climate change mitigation and adaptation are global challenges. In principle, the German Farmers’ Association supports the objective of strengthening the EU’s resilience to the consequences of climate change. Agriculture and forestry are, like hardly any other sector, directly affected by the effects of climate change.

The German Farmers’ Association clearly rejects the planned introduction of the DNSH principle (Do No Significant Harm) for environmental and climate concerns in agriculture. The DNSH principle does not fit the current challenges of agriculture and forestry either in time or systematically. Agriculture already makes a significant contribution to the environment, climate and biodiversity objectives.

In principle, the German Farmers’ Association (DBV) welcomes the procedure as such and the specific draft of Annex III to the Nitrates Directive. The use of nitrogen from treated manure allows farmers to feed crops even more effectively and can not only help to reduce Europe’s dependence on imported fertilisers or the energy sources needed to produce these fertilisers, thereby ensuring food security.

The land sector plays a key role in achieving the socially desired and politically decided goal of climate neutrality in Europe. Only additional carbon sinks will it be possible to offset unavoidable residual emissions from, inter alia, construction and agriculture. However, from the point of view of the German Farmers’ Association, it is important to put this achievement on a broad footing.

The extension of the derogation for the use of up to 5 % conventional protein feed is welcomed in principle, but only for five years! With the ten-year proposal, the projects and approaches to building organic structures in the essential production of organic protein feed cannot become economically viable. They are expected to remain in the testing phase.

The German Farmers’ Association (DBV) is commenting on the mid-term evaluation of the CAP 2023-2027.

The experience from 2023-2025 clearly shows that the CAP remains a key pillar of European agriculture.

The German Farmers’ Association recognises the importance of climate protection and the fundamental role of the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector in supporting European climate goals. At the same time, since the revision of the LULUCF Regulation in 2021, significant challenges to offset residual cross-sectoral emissions have been transferred to actors in this single sector.

The German Farmers’ Association welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to remove the obligation to register plant protection products in the geospatial application.
