lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to begin by congratulating the rapporteur on the quality of his report and the good work that he has carried out, and to reaffirm that it is only with ambition, political will and adequate funding that we can meet the EU biodiversity 2020 objectives. The protection of biodiversity should be made part of all of the EU’s policies, in particular, in the context of the ongoing reforms of the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy. The next financial framework must make the necessary resources available to fund the strategy. This funding will be offset from an environmental and economic standpoint, as the cost of biodiversity loss may reach 7% of GDP by 2050. It is estimated that the benefits associated with the Natura 2000 network could rise to approximately EUR 200-300 billion per year, as well as creating millions of jobs. The Commission and the Member States should make sufficient resources available to fund the Natura 2000 network, and they should also ensure that EU legislation is implemented, in particular, the Birds and Habitats Directive, as well as the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The initiatives to be developed in relation to green infrastructure and genetic resources are no less important, nor is the legislation on invasive alien species for which we are looking forward to receiving proposals from the Commission. Concrete, integrated and ambitious action and adequate funding are needed in order to achieve the objectives of the biodiversity strategy, and it is also necessary and vital that we do not forget that biodiversity includes all interactions of the living world – species and ecosystems – in direct contact with human activity; food, clothing, health care and the heating of buildings all depend on biodiversity. Biodiversity is a guarantee of life."@en1
