Natura 2000 finds that it has no budget!
The major omission from the financial perspective is, once again, nature conservation. In the course of numerous debates, however, each Member of the European Parliament acknowledged that Natura 2000 was an integral part of European Union policy, that the first experiments in managing sites had produced very positive results and, better still, they had made it possible to lay the foundations for sustainable development in areas of important biological value. The environment, having previously been kept in check, was turning out to be the trump card for new development based on a realisation of the importance of the natural heritage of our countries. The report mentions the EUR 21 billion needed to continue to run Natura 2000 for 2007-2013 but there was not a single line of the budget that referred to this figure in the forecasts of expenditure. An amendment adopted in plenary even managed to remove Natura 2000 from the funding for fishing.
This indicates that there is no policy in a position to contribute to the setting up of Natura 2000. Does this mean that Natura 2000 will be nipped in the bud by the financial perspective?
The only remaining hope for nature conservation now rests with the LIFE+ fund. The European Parliament will need to redeem itself by including a share for Natura 2000 in this financial instrument for the environment."@en1
