"This report has been greatly improved since its first version. We are satisfied that several of the amendments we tabled in the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety have been adopted. Examples include the amendments relating to the issue of financing, particularly for the Financial Instrument for the Environment (LIFE) programme; to invasive alien species; to the study on the impact of biofuels; to reducing the biodiversity of cultivated species; and to certain limitations to, and distortions of, the European Commission’s greening proposal for the next common agricultural policy (CAP). However, we regret that other important amendments that we tabled were rejected. Consequently, there are still some serious omissions from the report and it contains opinions and positions that we do not share, such as welcoming the European Commission proposals for reforming the CAP and the common fisheries policy, and all aspects of so-called ‘business and biodiversity’. We would highlight
our amendments on Natura 2000 funding; on criticisms of current agricultural and commercial policy, and the need for significant changes thereto; on fisheries policy, regarding local management and more data-collection channels; and on monitoring the implementation of the strategy. It is not enough to set ambitious targets: attention must also be given to how to achieve them. The report has shortcomings in this regard."@en1
