Re @ClareDalyMEP and I wrote to Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar in May, asking him to make a public, unambiguous statement of support re EU Nature Restoration Law, and to instruct @FineGael MEPs to support law. No response. We call again on the Taoiseach to support #RestoreNature https://t.co/aCwzFGQe1g

EPP Group: The #NatureRestoration Law is badly designed!
For example, it will turn the entire city of Rovaniemi (Yes, that's where Santa Claus🎅lives) into a forest and other nature areas.
Cities are different, but Timmerman's badly designed legislation is blind to that. https://t.co/gL6BYsA7ez
