lpv:translated text	"As it is drafted, it is impossible for me to vote in favour of the report on the EU biodiversity strategy to 2020. Indeed, it is inconceivable for our institution to support the idea that hunting has a detrimental impact on biodiversity. On the contrary, the 7 million hunters within the European Union are involved on a daily basis in action to promote biodiversity. Through their activity on the ground, they contribute their expertise, their time and their resources to maintaining a favourable environment for the development of fauna and flora. Through their passion, they acquire a knowledge of nature which is precious to the citizens of the European Union with whom they share the same value of preserving their natural capital. By the same token, the idea contained in paragraph 35 that the European Union should establish an ‘environmental inspection force’ is not acceptable. This proposal runs counter to the subsidiarity principle and should not be financed by the European Union in the current economic context. For other reasons, such as the image of farmers as ‘guardians’ of the landscape, I oppose the adoption of this report, the approach of which is biased."@en1
