Thanks to all who have worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome on the #NatureRestorationLaw!! Negotiators @cesarluena @sorayarr, @wallacemick But a real shout-out to our wonderful staff!! You are tremendous!
WE DID IT! We won the battle to save our biodiversity and our climate. This fight for #NatureRestorationLaw shows that everyone who believes in a future for nature is connected, organised & not giving up lightly. Together, we'll keep on mobilising to protect climate & nature.
What’s dead clear from these amendments is that @FineGael haven’t a clue what they are doing on this law. What do they want with this regulation? Why are their members signing such ludicrous amendments, that have nothing to do with Irish interest? It’s downright embarrassing 😳
@FineGael There are actually some important amendments tabled for tomorrow’s vote that would in fact make a difference, unlike Sean’s amendments - a new article for Public Participation, and a whole new chapter on Funding. Big questions to answer if Fine Gael MEPs don’t support these …
Seán Kelly here has “put down” some “very important and good amendments” at the European Parliament to the Nature Restoration Law, voted tomorrow in Strasbourg. They’re all batshit cray. Let’s have a look at them 🧵
Ahead of tomorrow's vote on the #NatureRestorationLaw, I have outlined my position below⬇️
Beware the snake oil salesmen. The amendments being proposed will effectively kill the law in all but name.
Ahead of tomorrow's vote on the #NatureRestorationLaw, I have outlined my position below⬇️
The Council's position, which @EPPGroup MEPs will have the option to vote for, is actually pretty weak when it comes to Urban Green Space. Reindeer are in decline across their range due to a range of pressures including climate change. We all know 🎅would vote #RestoreNature
"Mr Timmermans, don't kick Santa out of his house," says @petrisarvamaa. The #NatureRestoration Law has good intentions but bad design. For example, it would turn the entire city of Rovaniemi into a forest and other nature areas. Withdraw the #NatureRestoration bill!
What is nonsensical is to attempt to deny the science & label it as 'ideology'. @EPAIreland produce consistently reliable data. It's reckless to constantly prioritise agri-business profit when all environmental indicators are telling us to stop. farmersjournal.ie/ifa-rejects-ep…
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5.6) For forest, Art 10 again proposes a set of targets to achieve NET NATIONAL increases (again without ANY minimum %) on a range of already commonly used indicators for forest health (like deadwood). Some MS have asked some flexibility in choice of indicators. This seems fine.
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5.5) To compensate for income foregone in rewetting, large amounts of EU- and national public funding, as well as potentially much more private climate- and nature finance to complement, are already available. And long-term targets would help provide certainty to roll them out.
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5.4) Art 9.4 requires rewetting of drained peatlands. This will have large local impacts, like in my home country of NL. But funnily enough, especially for someone concerned about policy coherence, this must happen in any case if we have any chance of meeting our LULUCF targets!
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese First to put the river restoration target in perspective: The EU27 has over 1,5 million km, so 25K km represents about 1,5%. Best estimates of barriers in rivers come to over 1 million, of which 10% or 100.000 obsolete. Removing a few 1000s of them would easily meet the target.
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (2) NOWHERE does the NRL proposal require the de-establishment of hydropower! To the contrary, it says literally that 'Member States shall primarily address obsolete barriers, which are those that are no longer needed for renewable energy generation [...] or other uses' (Art 7.2)
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (3) Of course your friends in the hydropower industry will say 'we need more hydropower', it is their business model! And it should still be possible, if well-planned and -designed, with proper impact assessment - like today. Upgrading existing plants could also improve supply.
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (4) This links with your 2nd point on no provisions on renewable infrastructure such as grids. I nearly fell of my chair!! Just read preambles 60 and 61 which are all about coherence, identifying renewable go-to areas, etc. Art. 6 even OBLIGES MS to coordinate national plans! 🧐
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5) Then biomass: This is a complex topic, but 70% of EU biomass supply comes from farming, on 37% of the EU land area. And 27% from forestry. Therefore the proposed NRL targets to restore non Habitats Directive Annex I forest and -farmland are most relevant (Art 9.2-9.4 & 10.2).
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5.2) Art 9.2 requires positive NATIONAL trends in grassland butterflies, organic carbon in mineral soils, and high-diversity landscape features = Existing EU indicators also tracked under CAP. No binding % is set, so frankly very relaxed targets! Just no decline or standstill.
@DirkGotink @FGuerreiroMEP @pcanfin @ManfredWeber @peterliese (5.3) Art 9.3 requires increase in farmland birds, another (long-)established indicator used in CAP evaluation (not least since all bird species are EU-protected since 1979!). Here specific increase targets are set, but again modest, especially for MS that still have populations.
