Council of Europe member states and Mediterranean countries must do more to improve, apply and enforce national and international laws on the environment, and apply an integrated ecosystem-based approach in their policies, according to PACE’s Standing Committee.
In a resolution based on a report by Joseph Falzon (Malta, EPP/CD), the committee said this would require strong political commitment, adequate funding, institutional capacity and a major transfer of technology and know-how.
