On Wednesday, during the vote in the European Parliament, the regulation called Nature Restoration Law was adopted by 336 votes. 300 people were against and 13 abstained. Earlier, there was also a vote to reject the project. 312 people voted against, 324 voted against and 12 abstained.
The European Parliament adopted the Nature Restoration Law. PO and PiS voted against the regulations
Among the Poles participating in the vote, MEPs from the Civic Platform (with the exception of Janina Ochojska), PSL and United Right wanted to throw the proposals into the trash. All Poles from the group of socialists and liberals were against it. “PO, side by side with PiS, votes against nature protection in Europe, for further cutting down forests, etc. Fortunately, they lost the vote, but this is another lesson: Donald Tusk’s formation has no moral backbone,” commented activist Jan Mencwel.
Proponents of the regulation argue that the regulation is necessary to halt the degradation of ecosystems and avoid the loss of biodiversity. Opponents argue that the regulations will lead to a reduction in food production and an increase in prices, and will hit farmers and foresters. However, supporters of the Commission’s proposal had a slight advantage in the vote today. This means that the regulations will now be negotiated by representatives of the European Parliament and EU countries, and the final shape of the regulations depends on the outcome of these negotiations.
What is the Nature Restoration Law?
The Nature Restoration Law assumes that European Union countries will work to restore rivers and wetlands degraded by man; better greenery also in cities, or protection of species living in these places. Corrective actions are to be spread over almost 30 years, and 1/5 should be carried out by the end of this decade. In this way, the European Union wants, in addition to moving away from harmful fossil fuels, to take better care of . The Natural Resources Restoration Act is an essential element of the European Green Deal and is in line with the scientific consensus and recommendations for restoring ecosystems in Europe.
