Countries had their final say: the Nature Restoration Law has just been adopted! 👏 This is the right decision and exactly what citizens, scientists, and industry have been calling for. With this milestone, we affirm our commitment to preserving our natural heritage and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. We are still on track to reverse biodiversity loss. Let’s now work together and demonstrate that the 🇪🇺EU remains at the forefront of environmental leadership. This is a collective achievement that showcases the power of collaboration and shared vision. ✨ And from my side, thank you to the EU ministers, civic society, industry stakeholders, and, of course, my dedicated team for their hard work and commitment. Together, we have made a significant step forward.
Thank you all, especially the ENVI-Minister of Austria!
Great news, and that wasn’t a given seeing how some parties tend to obstruct green policies in the European Parliament - EPP supports only 25% 😣 - Far right parties: 6-10% 🤬 ➡️ https://www.wwf.eu/campaigns/2024_eu_elections/eu_parliament_scoreboard/
Virginijus Sinkevičius congratulations, a true milestone for Europe!
wonderful. and very much needed !
Fantastic breakthrough in the face of much adversity. Thank you for pursuing it and making action happen!!
Milestone achieved. Many attacks on the NRL fended off. Now, onto implementation and execution! 🚀
While this is great, you also need to stop the erosion of biodiversity conservation laws all around Europe. We celebrate a success on one side and see the erosion on the other.
That's great , in current environment disasters in different countries it is need of time. From where we can get draft if this new law. One suggestion as a processor, currently you guys are working to reduce water and carbon consumptions as a flat percentage and it's easy to "manage" then instead you should focuss on process wise consumptions and impose them on retailers e g. Dark colors use double water and steam compared to pastel shades so may be 10% dark colors in a launch and rest pastels can be a possible solution , garments wash uses 4 times more water than any process sand wash is the solution.
Extremely exciting news - what a historic moment!

1moDear Virginijus, next opportunity for the European Commission 🇪🇺 to demonstrate environmental leadership is the adoption of the #FinBanNow 🦈 as requested by over 1.1 million European citizens. We are looking forward to discussing this matter with the fishing industry on 9 July in Vigo, Spain. StopFinningEU e.V.
