Resolution on continuing the unwavering EU support for Ukraine, after three years of Russia’s war of aggression
I wish to outline the reasons for my decision for voting against the 2nd part of paragraph 24 of this resolution. Ireland’s agricultural sector relies heavily on fertiliser, yet we have no domestic manufacturing capacity. As a result, we are entirely dependent on imported fertiliser. In 2024, Ireland imported 310 410 tonnes of fertiliser, with a significant portion coming from outside the EU. Notably, fertiliser imports from Russia saw a substantial increase, with urea and urea ammonium nitrate from Russia accounting for approximately 30 % of total imports. Given this dependence on external suppliers, I am deeply concerned that no proper impact assessment has been conducted on the potential effects of this resolution on fertiliser prices. Any disruption to supply chains or price increases would have serious consequences for Irish farmers. For these reasons, I had no option but to vote against on this part of the resolution. I hope this decision is understood in the context of protecting Ireland’s agricultural sector and ensuring a stable fertiliser supply.
