stop to the loss of biodiversity in Europe by 2010. For that, we must implement existing legislation such as the Birds and Habitats Directive; we must complete the network of protected areas in Europe; and we must agree on new policies to address deforestation and to reduce the EU's ecological footprint. The Commission has worked hard on all these issues; and I believe that, as a result, the EU is much closer to meeting its biodiversity targets than it would otherwise have been.

completely and effectively. On the other hand, there are still other environmental problems left unsolved.

Hence, the environment cannot
