Saxony's Environment Minister Georg-Ludwig von Breitenbuch considers the EU's so-called Restoration Regulation to be far too bureaucratic. "At its core, we can understand the concerns of the EU regulation: We all want a liveable and healthy natural environment. But it's like driving in the dark," the minister expressed his doubts after the cabinet meeting in Dresden. Neither the direction nor the concrete goal of the regulation or the path to it could be seen. But something like this must be made feasible.
Saxony calls for improvements to the regulation
According to the minister, Saxony wants to hold the EU to account and set one or two "stop signs" on the road to implementation. Solid preparations will be made and the fog will be cleared with the help of an interministerial working group. The regulation must be reconsidered by the EU and made manageable. Saxony has already sent a clear signal that the regulation should be withdrawn in this form.
