Red Natura 2000: Principio de no regresión #353

Although we have already discussed the Principle of Non-Regression, today we will focus on a very clear example: the Natura 2000 network in Extremadura, where the regional government wants to remove the protections afforded to more than 10,000 hectares of areas protected under this European Union environmental protection scheme. While some of these removals have already taken effect, I predict that this will generate a great deal of legal wrangling.
