The European Parliament approved legislation on Tuesday aimed at halting the decline of biodiversity. The right is fiercely opposed to it, in unison with agricultural organizations.
The text requires the Twenty-Seven to introduce restoration measures by 2030 on 20% of land and marine areas at EU level. Each State must restore by 2030 at least 30% of these habitats in poor condition, with priority to Natura 2000 areas. The result was very uncertain, the European People's Party (EPP) had called on its elected representatives on Monday to vote against the text.
