The European Union's ambition to lead the way on ecological issues avoided a major setback Thursday when the environment committee of the European Parliament voted by the thinnest margin to reject a proposal that would have killed a draft law on restoring nature and lost species across the continent.
European Parliament's environment committee voted against a proposal Thursday that could have derailed a draft law aimed at restoring nature and protecting species across the continent.
The proposal to eliminate a draft law aimed at revitalizing nature and preserving endangered species throughout Europe was narrowly rejected by the European Parliament's environment committee on Thursday. The motion presented by the conservative European People's Party was defeated as the 88-member committee was evenly split, with 44 votes against and 44 votes in favor.The
