"Biodiversity is crucial for the functioning of ecosystems which provide us with products and services without which we could not live. Biodiversity loss is one of the most serious global environmental threats alongside climate change, and the two are closely linked. Statistics illustrate that biodiversity losses are continuing at alarming rates in the EU and worldwide, despite the fact that the importance of biodiversity is widely acknowledged. Urgent action is needed, and the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020 looks at the necessary measures to secure nature and ecosystem services for future generations. Biodiversity should be included in all EU policies. Our support is necessary for the achievement of the targets in the next multiannual financial framework and for the phasing out of harmful subsidies. As major European policies are currently under review, the timing is right. I voted in favour, since this report is really useful."@en1
