As well as setting out the further emission cuts needed, this proposal addresses some of the shortcomings in the implementation of the Union air policy framework and the need for enhanced co-ordination between emission reductions and air quality as well as climate change and biodiversity protection.

In its efforts to reach the target to slow down the decrease in biodiversity by the year 2010, the Presidency stresses the need for synergy between policies and activities in the areas of climate change and biodiversity, especially in respect of biodiversity in fresh water and marine environments, as well as biodiversity in forests.

43. Calls for the cultivation and use of biomass for the production of energy and as a fuel to be seized as an opportunity to increase biodiversity in agriculture; considers that this should also be reflected in the funding of research under the Seventh Framework Programme for research and that the cultivation of biomass should not be allowed to lead to a decline in biodiversity, either within or outside the European Union;

However, given the current rapid decline in biodiversity, both in Europe and worldwide, and the ever-increasing extent and intensity of many human activities, the objective of halting the decline in biodiversity by 2010 will require unprecedented efforts in adapting our activities to the needs of natural systems.

44. Regrets that the protection and conservation of biodiversity in the EU has not been highlighted as a priority for 2007, and all the more warmly encourages the Commission to take the lead in facing the global challenge of biodiversity loss, whilst ensuring the proper management of the NATURA 2000 network, especially in marine zones ;

– nature and bio-diversity: the Natura 2000 network, such as innovative approaches to site management and planning, including the development of market measures and ways of using the network in a manner compatible with its conservation; the monitoring of conservation status; funding for the development and implementation of species action plans; the reversal of the decline in bio-diversity by 2010 and monitoring of forests and environmental inter-actions in the Community; forest fire prevention measures; and urgent conservation measures for habitats and species with the poorest conservation status, as well as species conservation me ...[+++]asures and management of wetlands (bogs and mires), coastal, marine and freshwater habitats;
