Just a week after Environment Ministers from across Europe gave the Nature Restoration Law their seal of approval, the European Parliament Environment Committee has failed to reach agreement on it.
The roll call from the vote shows the European People's Party substituted in eight members who don't normally sit on the committee to vote against it. Our source in Europe said they were MEPs Bogovic, Dorfmann, Dupont, Kalinowski, Schiedtbauer, Skyttedal, Tome and Lins.
A total of 44 MEPs voted for it and 44 against it. Two Irish MEPs, Grace O'Sullivan and Mick Wallace, sit on the committee and both voted in favour of the law.
