Abstract

The Natura 2000 network of protected areas is the centrepiece of European Union nature policy, currently covering almost one-fifth of the EU’s entire land territory plus large marine areas. This vast EU-wide network, which aims to conserve Europe’s most valuable and threatened species and habitats, has major impacts on land use throughout all Member States of the EU. This book critically assesses the origins and implementation of the Natura 2000 network, established under the Birds Directive of 1979 and the Habitats Directive of 1992.Based on original archival research and interviews with key participants, the book records a detailed history of the origins and negotiation of Natura 2000 policy and law, with the history of EU environmental policy provided as a framework. An historical institutionalist approach is adopted, which emphasises the importance of understanding legal and policy development as processes that unfold over time. Three phases in the history of EU environmental policy are identified and described, and the history of EU nature policy is placed within the context of these three phases. Informed by this history, the author presents a comprehensive summary and assessment of the law and policy that protects Natura 2000 sites at EU level, and reviews the nature conservation outcomes for the targeted species and habitats. The book reveals how a knowledge of the history of Natura 2000 enriches our understanding of key issues such as conflicts in establishing and conserving the Natura 2000 network, EU integration in the field of nature conservation, and the future of EU nature policy.

Abstract

L'installation d'un réseau européen Natura 2000 est un objectif prépondérant de la politique environnementale. La désignation des zones de protection spéciale et des zones spéciales de conservation se révèle particulièrement délicate. Une difficulté majeure est d'articuler ce zonage protecteur de la nature et le droit individuel de propriété. La question a paru à ce point sensible aux membres de l'Observatoire Nature 2000 qu'il fut décidé d'y consacrer un colloque international. Un questionnaire a été proposé aux rapporteurs des États membres. Lors d'une réunion qui s'est tenue dans les locaux de l'Université de Thessalie, à Volos (Grèce), les 14 et 20 mars 2004, un rapport de synthèse a été présenté et des discussions approfondies ont eu lieu. Le présent ouvrage rassemble les rapports nationaux, révisés à la suite du colloque, dans la langue anglaise ou française de leur rédaction, le questionnaire et un nouveau rapport de synthèse établis dans les deux langues.

Abstract

Biodiversity within the European Union is under threat. Almost a quarter of Europe's vascular plant species and 155 species of its native mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians are threatened with extinction. The Habitats Directive imposes a strict regime for environmental protection. But with the euro zone economy falling from 'stagnation' to 'contraction' in the second quarter of 2012 and the UK entering into a 'double dip' recession in April 2012, European governments face an economic crisis. The English courts have said that the Directive should not become a property developer's obstacle course. Yet the tensions between environmental protection and economic growth are all too readily apparent with the UK government stating both that we must 'arrest the decline in habitats and species and the degradation of landscapes' and later that 'gold plating of EU rules on things like habitats' was putting 'ridiculous costs' on business enterprise. Edited by Gregory Jones QC, The Habitats Directive: A Developer's Obstacle Course? brings together a unique combination of leading academics and practitioners in the field of European environmental and planning law to address and debate controversial issues arising from the Habitats Directive in an authoritative and practical manner. A must for anyone engaged in property development, planning and environmental law.
