lpv:translated text	"Madam President, in 2001, the Commission defined its aim of halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010. Ten years later, it has recognised that this objective has not been reached, and also that global biodiversity is under serious threat. The biodiversity strategy to 2020 is now being discussed. Once again, targets and objectives are being established and several questions therefore arise. Have the necessary lessons been learned from previous failures? Can we be sure that we will not be here 10 years from now, talking about another failure? What has been done to change direction? What determines success or failure in this case? A strategy is made up of short-, medium- and long-term objectives, and also of measures to meet those objectives. This strategy has failings in both areas. Let us look at some examples. Firstly, there are still shortcomings both in terms of funding, as in the next multiannual financial framework, and in terms of the mechanisms for monitoring and correcting the implementation of the strategy. Secondly, the essence of some of the sectoral policies with the most important effects on biodiversity remains unchanged. This is true of the agricultural and trade policies, which promote models of intensive production geared towards export, the deregulation and liberalisation of trade, and the weakening of local production and consumption. It is not enough to give these policies a greener appearance, while leaving their foundations unaltered, and maintaining their so-called market orientation. The Commission is enthusiastic about its ‘business and biodiversity’ approach. However, we fear that we are seeing a ‘business as usual’ strategy when it comes to biodiversity."@en1
