Directive 85/337/EEC
• applies to projects• a public authority empowered to decide
whether impact assessment is adequate• permission only granted if no significant
impact or remedial measures• public participation• list of activities
![Page 15: DG Env.B21 The impact of environmental strategy and legislation on land use András Demeter, enlargement coordinator Nature & Biodiversity Unit, Directorate-General](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649ecf5503460f94bdc3aa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Strategic Environmental Assessment
Directive 2001/42/EC • MS-s to implement by 21 July 2004• objective: to ensure that
environmental consequences of certain plans and programmes are identified and assessed during ther preparation
• integration of views of authorities• the public are informed

The Gothenburg target of halting decline of biodiversity
by 2010• Good
indicator for wild bird species, e.g. in UK

Why dealing with nature on EU-level?• Major habitats under threat - wetlands in north
& west Europe have been reduced by 60% in recent decades
• Species also in decline - 45 % of Europe’s butterflies threatened, 38% of Europe’s birds threatened
• Transboundary problems - eg. migratory birds
• Landuse-impact of other EU-policies - agriculture, transport, fisheries, ...
JOINT ACTION NEEDED!

Potential Outcome
Create a new funding instrument
Develop an existing funding mechanism to fit a
new purpose (e.g. LIFE Nature)
Build on existing funding mechanisms and
make one or more of them more explicitly
available for co-financing Natura 2000

been questioned
• a new questionnaire has been sent to MS & AC-s asking for better figures
• a communication from the European Commission on financing is expected!

The future of nature and land use in
Europe• with enlargement, “rural Europe” will
not be the same as before• rural areas will provide benefits other
than only food production, e.g. sustainable tourism
• the enormous pressures for development must be channelled to areas with least nature values
• Natura 2000 should be looked upon as an opportunity for, and not as obstacle to development
