Centre-right group fail to win enough support to defeat proposals after knife-edge voting.
The EU’s flagship environment law to restore biodiversity on land and rivers is hanging by a thread after a rebellion mounted by a centre-right group of MEPs failed to block the proposed legislation from going to the next stage in the parliamentary process.
In a dead heat, 44 MEPs voted in favour and 44 against the nature restoration law that was proposed last year as a fundamental part of the EU’s green deal.
It aims to reverse the dramatic decline in nature by making restoration and rewilding of degraded land and waters including seas and sea shores mandatory.
