Mr. Niall Curley:

It is 20% of all EU land and sea area to be covered by restoration measures by 2030. That is the specific target that the EU has set itself. Member states are being asked to set out the amount of area they planned to restore by 2030 and when it tots up the figures, it will look for the percentage to be 20%. If it is not, the EU will come back to the member states to tell them how much they need to increase it by. It is, supposedly, up to the member state to then fulfil that. The EU maintains that the member state will have the final word. However, there are many areas in Europe that are devoid of any data in the first place. There are no data in the impact assessments provided by the EU for Romania, which is one of the biggest countries in Europe.

The Senator brought up SACs. That specific target is outside of restoration. When I created the slide show, I thought I would be doing a presentation. That is why I did it that way.
