Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

EU Nature Restoration Target and General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:

It is going to be a legally binding target. There is going to be a situation where every two years there will be a national framework. It will be under review all the way up to 2050. There is going to be another situation where there will be actions and measures to be achieved. It will be reviewed on a regular basis. As with the climate action plan and our emissions every year, we are going to have a similar process every two years with biodiversity.
