"The defining of a consistent ecological network at European level, bringing together important and representative habitats – many of them under threat – is an important condition for guaranteeing the preservation of biodiversity, but is not enough in itself.
Sufficient funds must be made available for managing this network, to enable not only the monitoring of threat factors and the preservation of existing areas, but also the restoration and reclassification of degraded areas. It is therefore regrettable that the creation of the Natura 2000 network has not been accompanied by the creation of specific financial instruments aimed at managing the areas included within it, a fact which has done much and continues to do much to jeopardise its effectiveness. The cuts made to the EU Financial Instrument for the Environment in the 2010 budget – the same budget that saw military spending increase – are also regrettable.
However, effective preservation of biodiversity in all its myriad aspects also requires its inclusion in a series of important sectoral policies and it is here that the policies being followed by the European Union, from agricultural to trade, urgently need to be profoundly reshaped. I am making use of the fact that the Commissioner responsible for this portfolio is currently here. There is much to be done and invested in the policies of the European Union for the good of our biodiversity."@en1
