Dr. Humberto Delgado Rosa:

That is fully a decision of the member states. I do not know the national circumstances. If a member state finds it needs to study an aspect related to this or other regulations, it is free to do so. I will comment on another thing the Deputy said with regard to there being a sense that on the whole there is nothing the member state can do and it being all Brussels. We know that kind of phenomenon exists but we have provisions in the regulation for how the national restoration plans need to be framed. There must be participation. Stakeholder involvement in the shaping of the nature restoration plans is one requirement of the regulation. We are bringing in a tough stance in that it should not be possible to leave stakeholders totally unaware of what will be planned in national restoration plans.
