Section 7 References EU Habitats Directive (www.europa.eu.int/comm/nature/nature_ conservation/eu_nature_legislation) LIFE Nature database (www.europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ life/project) Natura 2000 network website (www.europa.eu.int/comm/environment/ nature/home.htm) IPAs, the EU Habitats Directive and the Natura 2000 Network (cont.) Management of SACs and funding Maintaining sites in ‘favourable conservation status’ requires adequate, sustainable funding and the member states must produce a co-financing plan with the Commission.The lack of direct nature conservation funds, such as the LIFE programme, or a dedicated portion of other funds, such as the Rural Development Programme, would undoubtedly diminish the effectiveness of the Habitats Directive and the Natura 2000 network. IPAs and the Habitats Directive The criteria lists for selecting IPAs include all of the threatened habitats on Annex I, and all of the threatened species on Annex IIb and IVb.The IPA project uses the six biogeographic zones of the EU but also the additional five of the Council of Europe. In the five partner countries in the EU, 399 IPAs (78% of IPAs in those countries) are also currently proposed as SACs by the national governments. 711 IPAs (89%) contain Habitats Directive species or habitats. LIFE Nature Projects are currently improving plant conservation on many IPAs, including the Danube Flood Plain in Slovakia, the Baltic coastal meadows of Estonia, and important forest habitats in Piatra Craiului and Domogled National Parks in Romania.

Existing legislation & programmes IPAs and the EU Water Framework Directive Context The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) (2000/60/EC) provides a legally binding framework to protect the water systems of Europe (rivers, lakes, coasts, estuaries, and groundwater).This includes a commitment to protect and enhance aquatic ecosystems, and the terrestrial and wetland ecosystems, which depend on those ecosystems. IPA data can be used to support assessment and monitoring of priority areas. Each member state is obliged to incorporate the Directive into their national laws. Article 6 requires a register of the protected areas which fall within these water systems,Article 7 requires management plans for river basins, and Article 8 requires a network of sites to monitor the ecological status of these water systems. Annex V sets out the qualitative features that can be used to classify the ecological status of the water systems.

(www.panda.org/downloads/ europe/wwireport.pdf) IPAs and the Water Framework Directive 197 IPAs (25%) contain threatened inland water habitat from the EU Habitats Directive. 224 IPAs (28%) contain threatened mire, bog and fen habitats from the EU Habitats Directive 74 IPAs (9%) contain threatened coastal and halophytic habitats from the EU Habitats Directive IPA data should be used to check on the comprehensiveness of the register of protected areas and on the network of monitoring sites, which each country must produce for the Directive.
