lpv:spoken text	". Mr President, I believe that the report by Mrs Auken sends a very strong message to the Commission that proper funding for the Natura 2000 network is a very high priority for this Parliament too. I am pleased that the main points of the opinion of the Committee on Regional Development have been taken on board in the report. The structural funds must be part of the funding mechanism for Natura 2000, but there must also be a clear commitment that the money will be spent on specific, authorised objectives; in other words, that the money earmarked and that the release of that money is conditional on national Natura 2000 financing plans being in place in the Member States. Mainstreaming environmental considerations into all EU policy work is the way forward. I welcome the integrated approach of the Commission. One of the most important features of Natura 2000 is that it reflects that integrated approach; it puts people at the heart of the process and, in particular, people who live and work in our rural areas. As well as aiming to stop the decline in biodiversity in Europe, Natura 2000 creates and sustains jobs, supports agriculture, forestry and rural development and provides tourism and educational opportunities. But the truth is that support from the structural funds or the rural development budget will not be enough on its own to fund Natura 2000. That is why it must go hand-in-hand with Life+ and a dedicated fund. Our main concern is that we have effective funding options to ensure that this ambitious scheme to safeguard and support Europe’s natural heritage actually succeeds in its aim."@en1
