MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Construction of a sports complex in the Colli d’Oro park and protection of urban green spaces – E-002910/2024(ASW)

There are no guidelines on the implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation[1] with regard to which spaces are the most suitable for building facilities with a high impact such as sports complexes.

The regulation establishes overall targets for green space and tree canopy cover that need to be met, it does not relate to the impact of individual developments.

Member States are responsible for the implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation, and they are required to prepare National Restoration Plans, including the details of how they intend to meet the specified targets by September 2026.

• [1] Regulation (EU) 2024/1991 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2024 on nature restoration and amending Regulation (EU) 2022/869, OJ L, 2024/1991, 29.7.2024.
