Natural habitat restoration goals, EU
The European Parliament has given
preliminary approval to a directive
requiring restoring natural ecosystems, with explicit quotas.
The article fails to give any details about the concessions given to protesting farmers. I
wish I knew what they were. Without specific information, I can only speculate that the
farmers had some valid demands, and that a careful compromise could have grafted those more or
less, but that right-wing politicians stirred them up to make extreme and harmful demands,
which I hope they did not gain.
