Among the items vetoed is the article that deals with the consolidation of rural activities and the recovery of permanent preservation areas (APP). The text approved by MEPs demanded only the recovery of vegetation in permanent preservation areas (APP) on the banks of rivers up to 10 meters wide. And did not contain any requirement for recovery of these APPs in the margins of larger rivers.

The text passed by the House in late April, left out points that had been negotiated by the government during the proceedings in the Senate. The presidential veto can be overturned by Congress, provided they have the support of an absolute majority of both houses - the Senate and House - in a secret ballot.
