The shadow rapporteur for the Socialists and Democrats Group on the new Soil Law approved by the European Parliament: “It is a starting point, which valorizes the knowledge and virtuous experiences of the territories”<\/h2>\n

“The approval of the new directive sends a strong message in a political climate where sustainability is too often under attack. I consider it a historic and encouraging result, not only for those working on environmental issues, but for Europe as a whole.”<\/span><\/span> Annalisa Corrado, MEP for the Socialist & Democratic Group<\/strong> in the European Parliament, is decidedly inclined to see the glass half full in her assessment of the Soil Monitoring Law.<\/span><\/span> This position was reiterated in her speech at the fourth edition of the General States of the Soil<\/a>, organized by the Re Soil Foundation at the Ecomondo in Rimini.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Hon. Corrado, as shadow rapporteur for your parliamentary group, you closely followed the various stages leading to the approval of the soil monitoring directive<\/a>. Why do you think it’s right to give a positive assessment of the text finally approved by the European Parliament in recent weeks?<\/h5>\n

For the first time, the Union has adopted a law that recognizes soil<\/strong> as a living, limited, and precious resource, to be protected like water and air. The approved text is the result of long and complex work, but ultimately strikes a balance between ambition and practicality: a common framework<\/strong> for truly understanding the state of our soils, understanding where to intervene, and providing member states with the tools and support to do so. It is a law that speaks to healthy food, clean water, and safer and more resilient communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Healthy soils are essential for better absorbing extreme rainfall, retaining water during droughts, and supporting high-quality agricultural production.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
