Ministra Mediului: PSD cere suspendarea tuturor planurilor de management pentru siturile Natura 2000. România riscă să piardă fonduri europene de miliarde de euro

The interim Minister of Environment, Diana Buzoianu, announced that PSD has proposed an amendment to suspend management plans for Natura 2000 sites, risking billions in EU funds for Romania. These sites are crucial for conserving habitats and species, and the suspension could block significant European funding for various sectors, including infrastructure. The amendment, which has been sent to the Chamber of Deputies, has raised concerns about its impact on Romania's commitments to the European Commission. Changes to the biodiversity strategy include removing pesticide reduction obligations and full compensation for landowners affected by conservation measures.
