"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we have just got back from Hyderabad, in India, and the Eleventh Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biodiversity. Parliament was represented there alongside the Commission and the Council.
The task facing this summit was an important one: to decide on financing for the biodiversity rescue plan 2010-2020 [
: 2011-2020], adopted two years ago at Nagoya. It was a close-run thing; the talks were difficult, but definite progress was made on maritime and coastal waters, and a commitment was secured to double the funding for biodiversity by 2015.
After the disappointment of the Rio Summit, this comes as a relief. The European Union and the international community are still capable of imposing their will when it comes to the environment. But the critical state of biodiversity requires us to intensify our efforts and deliver on our commitments to preserve our natural world, here and now, in the budget, the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy. And soon we shall be debating measures against biopiracy and ratification of the Nagoya Protocol. I urge you to show a solid front and prove, once again, that the European Parliament seeks and feels a responsibility for biojustice at European and world level."@en1
