In 1998 the EU, as a signatory to the CBD, formulated its first Biodiversity Strategy.The implementation of the strategy has been outlined in a series of Environmental Action Plans.The latest of these, the Sixth Environmental Action Plan,‘Environment 2010, Our Future, Our Choice’, seeks to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2010 and sets out five priority areas: Climate Change; Nature and Biodiversity; Environment; Health and Quality of Life; and Natural Resources and Waste. The strategy and action plans recognise the cross-sectoral nature of biodiversity conservation but there are also specific legal tools and strategies, such as the Natura 2000 network (Birds and Habitats Directives), the Water Framework Directive, and financial tools such as LIFE Nature and Rural Development Programmes. The IPA project can make a significant contribution to the EU Biodiversity Strategy by engaging a range of stakeholders, and providing sound data on priority sites for conservation action and protection.

Existing legislation & programmes IPAs, the EU Habitats Directive and the Natura 2000 Network Context The EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) adopted in 1992, is the main EU legal framework for protecting species and habitats of European importance, and must be transcribed into each member state’s national legal system.The IPA project is designed to support this process by providing additional data, but also to provide an external check on its effectiveness. The Directive obliges each member state to identify sites of community interest (SCIs) and from these ‘Special Areas of Conservation’ (SACs). SACs must be afforded legal protection and be maintained or restored to ‘favourable conservation status’ by appropriate management.The European Commission assesses national site proposals in Biogeographic seminars and qualifying sites make up the Natura 2000 network along with Special Protection Areas (SPAs) from the Birds Directive. Accession, enlargement and the annexes The ten new member states have brought with them many large, un-fragmented natural areas, and a diversity of species and habitats of European importance. The annexes of species and habitats should reflect the diversity and richness of this region and be updated where necessary to reflect the new boundaries.Accession countries, such as Romania and Bulgaria, are particularly rich in species and habitats and the Directive should recognise this diversity in its annexes and implementation.
