"Mr President, we read about this being Green Week, and the focus of this year’s Green Week is biodiversity loss. Last year it was climate change, and both climate change and biodiversity loss are the two greatest environmental challenges facing us. I rise to protest at the lack of time given to debate the issue of biodiversity loss during this part-session, as this is Green Week. As parliamentarians we should have acknowledged Green Week and the biodiversity loss focus by having a debate on that issue. We have the Birds Directive, the Habitats Directive, the common agricultural policy, the common fisheries policy, the structural funds, 18 000 Natura 2000 sites, plus a network, and yet we have no joined-up thinking in relation to this issue.
We have invasive alien species here, over 40% of the EU’s species – both flora and fauna – are under threat, and yet we have no debate on this issue during a designated Green Week. I protest, and I would like you, Mr Vice-President, to pass on my protestations to the President of Parliament."@en1
