Adam Guibourge-Czetwertynski, a Polish junior climate minister, said that, given the varying centres of concern in the EU on a text on a proposed"nature restoration" law, there was a need"to make this proposition realistic in practice".
During a late March parliamentary debate on the nature restoration text, one left-leaning Spanish MEP, Cesar Luena, said:"Things are not looking very good." Pacal Canfin, the chair of the parliament's environment committee, said there was progress on the energy, industry and transport aspects of the proposed texts."But for agriculture and fishing, no path has been found," he added.
Presentation of a tricky text on a tighter framework for the use of chemical substances which had been expected early last year has now been pushed back to late 2023.
