"From 18 to 29 October, the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will take place in Japan. Both at a global and at a European level, the 2010 target to halt biodiversity loss has not been met. As Parliament’s resolution underlines, unless something is done quickly to reverse it, the loss of biodiversity will be significant and uncontrollable in the medium and long term. Parliament demands that living things should not be subject to patents and that the plundering of genetic resources by business and industry, particularly in developing countries, should cease. The protection of biodiversity is essential to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. I therefore supported the resolution including the amendments proposed by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left and the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance. In a few weeks’ time, the climate change conference takes place in Cancún and it is therefore high time that the international community and, above all, the European Union, given its commitment to environmental protection, took heed of the report entitled ‘The economics of ecosystems and biodiversity’ (TEEB), and its recommendations at the Nagoya conference. It is extremely urgent to repeat the fact that the fight for biodiversity, the fight against climate change, and the fight against poverty, are intimately linked, as are the answers for dealing with them."@en1
