Nature Restoration Law in doubt after failing to pass vote

Despite the 44-44 deadlock in the environment committee, it will go to a full vote of the 705 MEPs in the week beginning July 10

Green Party MEP for Ireland South Grace O'Sullivan said the proposal was 'one of our last chances to show if the EU is a leader or a loser in halting the precipitous decline of biodiversity in Ireland and beyond'.

Europe's most comprehensive nature restoration reform for three decades will be decided on by MEPs next month but remains in doubt after failing to pass a preliminary vote.

After the European Parliament's environmental committee 44-44 stalemate vote on the European Commission's nature restoration proposal earlier this month, a rerun produced the exact same result on Tuesday.
