This week saw Brussels come to life again after the lull around the EU elections with incoming MEPS busy taking selfies to show their voters that they are getting down to work. The big happening of the week, however, was EU leaders catching up on the European Parliament elections but their seven-hour summit was anti-climatic as they failed to reach an agreement on who get what top Brussels job. "I think it's our collective duty to make a decision by the end of June. I made it several times publicly," EU Council president Charles Michel said. But the summit proved a good day out for this man - ...

Austria’s U-turn on the biodiversity law unleashed havoc in the federal country culminating with the announcement today (June 17) of a lawsuit in front of the European Court of Justice by Chancellor Karl Nehammer against climate minister Leonor Gewessler. Hailing from the Austrian People’s Party (APP), liberal-conservative Karl Nehammmer said Gewessler, a Green member of the ruling coalition in Austria, had "violated the Constitution" by casting a vote on behalf of the Austrian Republic that went against the will of the governing coalition on the Nature Restoration Law, adding such acts needed...

After months of uncertainty, the EU’s Nature Restoration Law has finally been approved. The first-of-its-kind regulation aims to restore Europe’s damaged ecosystems and boost biodiversity. “There is no time for a break in protecting our environment,” says Alain Maron, environment minister for the Brussels region. “Today, the Council of the EU is choosing to restore nature in Europe, thereby protecting its biodiversity and the living environment of European citizens.” Here’s everything you need to know about the ruling and how it could help Europe meet its climate goals. What is the Nature Rest...

Belgium has scheduled what is set to be a heated public debate on a blocked Nature Restoration Law at a summit of environment ministers on Monday (17 June) after failing to break a deadlock during back-room diplomatic talks this week. The European Parliament has already adopted the legislation, which would require environmental restoration work to begin on a fifth of land and sea by 2030 and sets long-term targets for returning specific ecosystems to health, following an informal agreement last November with the EU Council of Ministers. However, what was supposed to be a final rubber stamp fro...

The Nature Restoration Law is of great importance to Ghent and Europe’s other major cities. It is now sitting before the European Council after intense negotiations resulted in a version of the law on which all political parties and European institutions could reach a consensus. For the Council to fail at this juncture to legislate on such a pressing issue would be a deep disappointment for cities and a huge blow to the European democratic process. Europe’s national leaders must gain the courage of our local leaders and follow through on the commitments that we have collectively made to nature...

A rift within Austria’s federal government and crumbling opposition in some regions means the country’s veto of EU legislation designed to reverse decades of ecosystem degradation across the union is now in question. Austria is one of a group of countries that has said it would not support the proposed Nature Restoration Law (NRL) in an inter-governmental vote, despite previous agreement between the EU Council and European Parliament over the key environmental legislation. Environment minister Leonore Gewessler, a Green and a staunch supporter of the law, has been constrained by the opposition...

In recent months, tractors have rolled through European cities as farmers protested against the EU’s agricultural policy. The EU's rapid response, which involved rolling back environmental regulations on agricultural subsidies, misses the mark. This approach is a superficial fix that fails to address the underlying problems: aggressive lobbying by extreme right groups manipulating the narrative and the misuse of EU agricultural funds by member states. A new WWF report highlights an uncomfortable truth amidst the growing cost-of-living crisis: EU member states allocate between €34 billion and €...

The German and Irish governments have secured the support of nine EU member states – including France and Spain – in a bid to rescue a law designed to reverse decades of drastic biodiversity loss across Europe. A vote on the Nature Restoration Law – whose text was agreed in quasi-formal talks with the Euro-pean Parliament, but which a blocking minority of governments subsequently refused to give the final rubber stamp – is expected during an EU Council summit of environment ministers on 17 June, the last such meeting under the current Belgian presidency. “The ongoing absence of a qualified maj...
