"Madam President, we all agree that the protection and promotion of biodiversity is of vital importance and I welcome the vast majority of the recommendations in this report. I do, however, regret the fact that the report has become quite so wordy, detailed and, in many places, repetitive. I think there is a lost opportunity here – which was possibly seized in the original rapporteur’s report but lost later on – to produce a punchy, straight-to-the-point and clear document. Having said that, I would like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mr Gerbrandy, for his conscientious efforts to find consensus, which is not so easy with so many amendments and so many opinions from other committees.
I would like to mention one area specifically today, that of agriculture and CAP. The report supports much of the detail of the Commission’s CAP reforms, and I would stress that I am talking about
here. This is problematic for me and my group. We find it difficult to endorse these details in the report, as this presupposes a general agreement in this area which does not yet exist. The same point applies to statements in the report such as the call for a soil directive.
Regrettably, this means we cannot unreservedly support the report, despite our strong support for many other aspects, such as the call for innovative financial instruments and the increased emphasis on the importance of the LIFE programme."@en1
