Today, the European Parliament is voting on the political agreement on the renaturation law. The most confusing legislative process of the last ten years is thus coming to an end. There was no majority in favor of the report in the parliamentary committees, but there was in the plenary. The Christian Democratic EPP had refused to even consider the Commission’s proposal. EPP group leader Manfred Weber opposed his party colleague, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The Council had largely gutted the Commission’s legislative proposal. In the trialogue, a compromise was reached that deviated significantly from the Commission’s original proposal and is now to be adopted by Parliament.
