". Mr President, Commissioner, I, too, would like to start by congratulating Mrs Auken on her excellent report which raises the real issues of Natura 2000. In contrast, I am quite stunned but I am not holding it against you, Commissioner by the text that you read to us giving the Commission's position. Indeed, I have the impression that Mr Dimas has sent you into battle and is washing his hands of it, because, when it comes down to it, we have not learned anything new that the Commissioner did not reveal to us two weeks ago. The issue being raised which is the subject of Mrs Auken's report is the financing of Natura 2000. In your explanation, though, the Commission has once again failed to state that it will guarantee the financing of Natura 2000 for seven years. Our fellow Member is right to ask about the figure. These are not fantasy figures, produced by NGOs that may have taken certain liberties. No, the figure comes from the Commission, which has estimated the costs of managing Natura 2000 as at least EUR 6.1 billion per year. I really do not understand why you cannot assure the European Parliament that the Commission will fully guarantee three billion per year of EU funding. The proposal you are putting forward does not guarantee that. Thus, we are no further forward today than we were two weeks ago, and we would like to have a response from the Commission."@en1
