lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy has, in this opinion, reaffirmed that environmental protection and economic development do not present a conflict of interest, but rather a symbiosis of the two goals of sustainable development. Biodiversity is not only valued in terms of environmental protection and a healthy living environment, but also has a socio-economic value. It is particularly necessary to emphasise this in these times of crisis. Rich and diverse nature is an inexhaustible source of new knowledge and inspiration for innovation and, as such, can develop new skills, jobs and business opportunities. Therefore, the horizontal role of biodiversity in European policies should be strengthened. Let me mention some of the policies for which our committee is responsible. In energy and industrial policy, biodiversity forms part of the sustainable use of resources. The development of information technologies can also be an opportunity for biodiversity conservation. We devoted particular attention to the importance of research policy and we support greater investment in this area. Science can facilitate a better understanding of biodiversity and the interaction of different factors within it. We particularly welcome the launch of the Business and Biodiversity Platform and encourage the Commission to further develop the platform. This will promote greater cooperation between public administrations and businesses in Europe, including SMEs. At the same time, we call your attention to the uncoordinated preparation of strategic infrastructure documents and we invite the European Commission to present a Green Infrastructure Strategy as soon as possible. We would like to thank rapporteur Gerbrandy and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety for having taken into account most of our proposals."@en1
