Ireland is leading a call for European Union member states to vote to adopt the controversial Nature Restoration Law at the next EU council meeting in June.

A letter urging fellow ministers across the EU to approve the law, sent by Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan and Minister for Nature and Heritage Malcolm Noonan, has now been co-signed by ministers from ten other countries.

This was only possible due to political compromise, new assurances for stakeholders and industry, and what was described as a shared faith in the democratic institutions of the EU. The race is now on to convince the objectors to change their mind before a final make-or-break vote on the matter on 17 June.

Towns and cities would also benefit through provisions for green space, linking up wild places and planting native trees. They also argue that backtracking on agreed negotiations and compromises would jeopardise Europe’s democratic institutions and call into question the entire EU policy-making and decision-making processes.
