§ 10
First part	‘Notes that fiscal and monetary policies have reinforced each other during the pandemic, with all EU institutions and Member States working together within their mandates, thereby preventing a repetition of the experience during the 2008 financial crisis and recalls the lessons learnt from its causes and the response to it; stresses that maintaining price stability today requires even closer coordination of fiscal and monetary policies, as addressing supply-side shocks requires greater supply-chain resilience and energy reforms, including a shift towards more renewables and a predictable investment framework;’
Second part	‘agrees with President Lagarde’s warning that ‘it is essential that fiscal support used to shield … households from the impact of higher prices is temporary and targeted. This limits the risk of fuelling inflationary pressures, thereby also facilitating the task of monetary policy to ensure price stability, and contributing to preserving debt sustainability’’
§ 16
First part	‘Notes that the ECB has tools at its disposal with a view to reducing aggregate demand in order to reduce inflation to its target level over the medium term;’
Second part	‘is concerned about the implications of such policy decisions for growth and employment, to be addressed by the proportionality assessment; invites the ECB to reflect on a more balanced and gradual adjustment of policy, given the high level of uncertainty; calls for more justification of any future policy rate decisions;’
§ 23
First part	‘Notes that the IMF, in its 2022 World Economic Outlook, concluded that the risks of a wage spiral are limited;’
Second part	‘notes that resilient labour markets and a certain level of catch-up to compensate for loss of purchasing power are likely to contribute to strong wage growth; calls on the ECB to monitor this risk very closely;’
PPE:
§ 28
First part	‘Recalls that during the monetary dialogue of November 2021, the ECB President said that ‘as part of the secondary objectives, we obviously have the economic development, we have the respect for the environment and the fight against climate change, and so on and so forth. Clearly, those have to be taken into account, particularly if those secondary objectives are stated very clearly by the other institutions, and in particular by the European Parliament’;’
Second part	‘suggests taking advantage of this resolution to provide input to the ECB on the secondary objectives;’

First part	‘whereas a high number of European mineral fertiliser manufacturers have downsized their operations or stopped production altogether, largely as a result of the rise in the costs of natural gas,’
Second part	‘but also owing to taxation and competition from less bureaucratic countries, leading to shortages, fertiliser price increases and lower yields arising from the inability of farmers to have access to the fertilisers they need in order to meet their production requirements and, ultimately, impacting food availability and affordability;’

First part	‘Recalls, in this context, that the mid-term review of the multiannual financial framework could make it possible to strengthen the CAP budget and to take into account the severe impact inflation has had on input costs and farm incomes;’
Second part	‘encourages the EU to seek alternative sources of funding outside the CAP, to develop the relevant measures to ensure the affordability and availability of fertilisers in the EU, and to alleviate the economic impact of the fertiliser deficit;’
§ 26
First part	‘Calls on the Commission and the Council to improve the functioning of the European market for fertilisers by reducing its logistical bottlenecks and to ensure balance,’
Second part	‘particularly as regards imports, reducing the administrative burden on fertiliser imports and trade, and facilitating off-season purchases and storage by distributors and farmers;’
The Left:
§ 10
First part	Text as a whole without the words: ‘competitiveness on the global market’
Second part	those words
§ 59
First part	‘Calls for the presence of livestock on most territories to become a long-term objective of agricultural policies;’
Second part	‘believes that a more uniform availability of organic fertilisers should be part of the EU’s strategy for its agriculture;’
§ 60
First part	‘Calls for an analysis of the possibility of an extension of regional flexibility in the framework of the Nitrates Directive, bearing in mind the objective of reducing pollution; calls on the Commission to consider adopting rules on a balanced nitrogen budget per holding and exemptions from the limit of 170 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year for organic fertiliser and equivalent products,’
Second part	‘taking into account different conditions in specific Member States and regions with favourable climatic conditions, as well as having regard to the efficient use of fertilisers, the optimisation of fertilisation, the use of bio-waste and secondary nutrient sources, and the use of biostimulants;’
ID:
Recital L
First part	‘whereas the farm to fork strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system has set the target of reducing nutrient losses by at least 50 %, while ensuring that there is no deterioration in soil fertility;’
Second part	‘whereas Parliament, in its resolution of 20 October 2021 on the strategy, welcomed this target, also insisting on the need to ensure that there is no deterioration in soil fertility; whereas achieving this target will reduce the use of fertilisers by at least 20 % by 2030;’
§ 22
First part	‘Calls on the Commission and the Council to extend the temporary suspension of import duties to all mineral fertilisers, except for those of Russian or Belarussian origin, in order to increase the availability of fertilisers for farmers and thus have a stabilising effect on prices, and to make the European market more dynamic by improving logistics and reducing the administrative burden; underlines that the EU should not replace one dependency with another, this time with imported fertilisers,’
Second part	‘nor should it jeopardise the shift towards a low-carbon European fertiliser industry, which would result in a significant increase in CO2 emissions globally, impeding the Paris climate goals;’
§ 36
First part	‘Notes the potential of Europe’s offshore wind to generate electricity for hydrogen and ammonia production;’
Second part	‘calls on the Commission to investigate the feasibility of an integrated model to produce ammonia both as a sustainable fuel for maritime transport and as a sustainable fertiliser source;’
Verts/ALE, The Left:
§ 2
First part	‘Underlines that the availability of all types of fertilisers and fertiliser production is essential for the supply of food to EU citizens and for global food security,’ without the words ‘of all types’ and ‘and fertiliser production’
Second part	‘of all types’
Third part	‘and fertiliser production’
Fourth part	‘as well as for ensuring soil fertility and avoiding soil depletion; notes that fertiliser production is also essential for the production of AdBlue for the transport sector and of CO2 for the food industry;’ without the words ‘and avoiding soil depletion’
Fifth part	‘and avoiding soil depletion’
Sixth part	‘is concerned about the unprecedented increase in nitrogen fertiliser prices, for which high natural gas prices and disrupted access to gas supplies have also been a contributing factor, and stresses that this can have a significant impact on the costs of agricultural production’
Seventh part	‘and the competitiveness of the EU agricultural sector;’
§ 19
First part	‘Regrets the fact that the communication does not serve to facilitate the use of organic alternatives to chemical fertilisers, such as RENURE, digestate from bio-waste obtained by the anaerobic digestion of livestock effluents, and any other effective and verified instrument,’
Second part	‘which can be used both in agriculture and in the livestock sector, and calls for Annex III to the Nitrates Directive to be amended to this end, while continuing to uphold the principles of efficiency and safety;’
Third part	‘calls, in the meantime, in the light of the current crisis, for a temporary derogation, as RENURE products and digestate have the potential to substitute chemical fertilisers without resulting in additional emissions, nitrogen losses or manure production; calls on the Commission to propose, without further delay, and at the latest in its upcoming integrated nutrient management action plan (INMAP), legislative measures to implement the legal and safe application of the criteria as developed by the Joint Research Centre to enable the safe use of RENURE above the thresholds established for Nitrate Vulnerable Zones by the Nitrates Directive;’
Verts/ALE, Renew, S&D:
§ 31
First part	‘States that the EU’s new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has the important objective of preventing carbon leakage,’
Second part	‘which should be combined with other EU objectives such as ensuring food security;’
Third part	‘stresses that, in the implementation of the CBAM, special attention should be paid to avoiding any extra costs for the fertiliser sector;’
Fourth part	‘advocates that the revenues from the application of the CBAM to fertiliser imports into the EU should be used to support the agricultural sector, which is directly affected by the increase of fertiliser prices on the international market, as well as the efforts to meet the regulatory requirements of the farm to fork strategy;’
Fifth part	‘notes that, for example, these revenues could be used to support the generation of carbon certificates in the framework of carbon farming in order to incentivise the use of livestock-based bio-fertilisers and the development of their associated industry;’
