EU member states agree with controversial nature restoration law, Belgium abstains in vote “under pressure from CD&V and Open Vld”

The European environment ministers reached an agreement in Luxembourg on Tuesday about the nature restoration law and the positions they want to defend in the negotiations with the European Parliament. Belgium had not determined a position in advance because Flanders did not have a unanimous position. N-VA was in favour, but Open Vld and CD&V continued to oppose the law.
