On Friday, European Union Member States failed to secure a majority in the Council of Ministers to support the Nature Restoration Law.
Following this development, BirdLife Malta President Darryl Grima and CEO Mark Sultana have sent an open letter to Prime Minister Robert Abela requesting him to personally intervene and raise the issue with President Ursula von der Leyen and the Belgian Presidency to put the Nature Restoration Law back on the agenda and see that it is approved.
BirdLife Malta said that “it is vital that the Nature Restoration Law is adopted before the summer break to ensure the protection of our natural world and the rights of citizens.”
The NGO called on the Belgian Presidency of the Council and on President Ursula von der Leyen “to take decisive action to salvage this key pillar of the European Green Deal.”
BirdLife stressed that “the credibility of the EU is on the line in this critical year of EU elections. Failure to enact the Nature Restoration Law not only undermines environmental protection but also impacts decision-making on climate targets and disaster preparedness. Let’s work together to ensure the EU remains a global leader in environmental conservation and fulfils its commitments under the Global Biodiversity Framework.”
