that this circumstance particularly affects
the integration of young people and new
entrants to the farming industry, as well

flocks; notes that such a measure would

Paragraph 6
Motion for a resolution Amendment
6. Welcomes the agreement reached
in negotiations for the Omnibus
regulation recognising the specific nature
of Mediterranean grasslands, such as
dehesa pasturelands, with a view to
finding fairer arrangements governing the
land eligible for direct payments;
advocates authorising grazing in areas of
ecological interest;
6. Stresses that while the Omnibus
regulation is a step forward for the
recognition of areas, it remains an
exception for pastoral areas to be eligible
for assistance. Indeed, the Commission
still considers that an agricultural area
should consist of 50% grass, but this does
not reflect the reality of the land. The
Commission should recognise the food
value of non-herbaceous resources and
take into account the presence of
resources on which the animals graze,
whether woody or not (and not make
reference to 50% grass, which does not
correspond to the reality of the grazing
area);
