A European Union Parliament committee on Tuesday rejected the bloc's landmark law to protect nature, which the Parliament's biggest lawmaker group is leading a campaign to block in a decisive vote next month.
The bill to revive ailing environments - which aims to restore nature on 20% of EU land and sea - is facing a political backlash from the European People's Party group in the EU Parliament, which has called for its rejection.
"The European Commission must get back to work and present a new text, better drafted and respectful of the expectations of Europeans," EPP lawmaker Anne Sander said in a tweet. Supporters from other parliament groups said they would try to club together to find a compromise deal ahead of the full parliament vote. EU officials said they expect a tight vote.
