"Mr President, I should like to thank my fellow Member, Mrs de Lange, for her report on European biodiversity. After all, Europe is just not managing to halt biodiversity loss. This is a serious matter that requires attention, and indeed Mrs de Lange is rightly calling for such attention.
We, Parliament, support the Commission in its endeavours to at least halt biodiversity loss by 2020. This does mean something, however, as otherwise, we shall have to conclude once more in 2020 that the objective has not been achieved. It means changing our agricultural policy and the way in which we spend money on our fisheries policy; it means changing our infrastructure policy and also our approach to regional development.
All of these things will be discussed in the financial perspectives for the coming period, and I am assuming that Mrs de Lange and also Mr van Dalen, who have spoken such fine words about biodiversity, will give shape to their words in our discussions on these financial perspectives. After all, the important thing is that we – Europe – really strengthen and protect our biodiversity policy. Otherwise, it will remain yet another hollow shell."@en1
