lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, historically many habitats which elsewhere in Europe have vanished have survived in the new Member States. This is why priority was given at the national policy level to setting up the Natura 2000 network. Today, now that the inventory of territories to be protected and their importance for preserving biological diversity are fully understood, the resources for maintaining them may be lacking. The Commission has announced that it supports funding Natura 2000 from the Rural Development Funds and the Structural Funds. It has not, however, planned to create a specific financial instrument designed for the network. I believe that particularly in the new Member States, where there is intense competition at the local project level to obtain resources from Structural Funds and the rural support funds, the European Union nature protection network does not have much prospect of obtaining match funding: this state of affairs should not be permitted. First, we ought to create a new, unified environmental funding instrument. Second, we should welcome proposals to supplement the activities supported in the draft regulation with the following – allocating funding for the management of those habitats which will not find support within the framework of the Structural Funds and the Rural Development Funds, allocating funding for pilot projects in the field of environmental technologies, planning preparatory measures for future allocation of money from the Structural Funds. Only in such a way will accessible sources of funds complement each other in order to maintain Natura 2000, and will we achieve what we intended when creating the Natura 2000 programme."@en1
