Ring-fencing of money for climate and the environment

- In the Commission proposal: 30% for environmental purposes under rural development, 0% for eco-schemes (up to Member States to decide what to allocate);

- ENVI at least 40% for environmental purposes under rural development, at least 30% for eco-schemes, and special ring-fencing for biodiversity;

- No more tax payers money being used for the promotion of wine and meat.
