"With a view to the examination in the Research Working Party on 19 September 2019, delegations will find attached a Presidency draft on the above subject. Delegations are invited to coordinate their position with relevant stakeholders, in particular colleagues responsible for the Common Agriculture Policy."
The Council:
- REAFFIRMS the central role of the Bioeconomy, which covers agricultural production, food systems, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture and other aquatic resources, bio-energy and the biobased industries, to achieve a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050, halt biodiversity loss, and deliver on sustainability;
- EMPHASISES that circular Bioeconomy can offer solutions for a sustainable replacement of fossil-based and other non-renewable primary resources by biomaterials, as well as solutions for resource-efficient use and reuse of biomaterials, for example combatting marine litter from plastics and micro-plastics.
