lpv:spoken text	"The EU has always promoted higher levels of environmental protections across Europe that Member States would have been unable to provide on their own. Part of the drive towards sustainability must run through guaranteeing the protection of our natural habitats both within Member States and across borders. The natural environment is part of our rich cultural heritage which is of concern to me as a member of the Committee on Culture. As a representative for the north west of England I represent vast areas of national parks, Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). I also work very closely with environmental organisations who I know will be pleased with our work on the strategy. Labour MEPs are committed to protecting the EU Nature Directives and will work to ensure that the fitness check is not used as an excuse to open up the Birds and Habitats Directives in order to water down or weaken the legislation. This is why I voted in favour of the Environment Committee’s report on the mid-term Review of the EU’s Biodiversity Strategy."@en1
