Newly-elected MEP Ciaran Mullooly says the law shouldn't have passed before the new Parliament met.
The approval of the controversial Nature Restoration Law will have 'severe implications' for small farmers in the midlands.
That's the view of newly-elected Midlands North West MEP, Ciaran Mullooly, after EU member states approved the regulation today.
It aims to put measures in place to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030.
Mr. Mullooly says it's very disappointing:
The Irish Farmers' Association claims it's a bad day for democracy, after the EU formally adopted the Nature Restoration Law.
President of the IFA, Ballinakill's Francie Gorman believes Minister Eamon Ryan should not have backed the new law:
