THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 130s thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (3),
Whereas the preservation, protection and improvement of the quality of
the environment, including the conservation of natural habitats and of
wild fauna and flora, are an essential objective of general interestpursued by the Community, as stated in Article 130r of the Treaty;
Whereas the European Community policy and action programme on
the environment (1987 to 1992)(
4) makes provision for measures
regarding the conservation of nature and natural resources;
Whereas, the main aim of this Directive being to promote the mainte-
nance of biodiversity, taking account of economic, social, cultural and
regional requirements, this Directive makes a contribution to the
general objective of sustainable development; whereas the maintenanceof suchbiodiversity may in certain cases require th e maintenance, orindeed the encouragement, of human activities;
Whereas, in the European territory of the Member States, natural habi-
tats are continuing to deteriorate and an increasing number of wildspecies are seriously threatened; whereas given that the threatenedhabitats and species form part of the Community's natural heritageand the threats to them are often of a transboundary nature, it is neces-sary to take measures at Community level in order to conserve them;
Whereas, in view of the threats to certain types of natural habitat and
certain species, it is necessary to define them as having priority inorder to favour the early implementation of measures to conserve them;
Whereas, in order to ensure the restoration or maintenance of natural
habitats and species of Community interest at a favourable conserva-tion status, it is necessary to designate special areas of conservation inorder to create a coherent European ecological network according to aspecified timetable;
Whereas all the areas designated, including those classified now or in
the future as special protection areas pursuant to Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds (
5), will
have to be incorporated into the coherent European ecological network;
Whereas it is appropriate, in each area designated, to implement the
necessary measures having regard to the conservation objectivespursued;
Whereas sites eligible for designation as special areas of conservation
are proposed by the Member States but whereas a procedure mustnevertheless be laid down to allow the designation in exceptional casesof a site which has not been proposed by a Member State but which theCommunity considers essential for either the maintenance or thesurvival of a priority natural habitat type or a priority species;1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 2

Whereas an appropriate assessment must be made of any plan or
programme likely to have a significant effect on the conservationobjectives of a site which has been designated or is designated in
future;
Whereas it is recognized that the adoption of measures intended to
promote the conservation of priority natural habitats and priority
species of Community interest is a common responsibility of allMember States; whereas this may, however, impose an excessive finan-cial burden on certain Member States given, on the one hand, theuneven distribution of such habitats and species throughout theCommunity and, on the other hand, the fact that the ‘polluter pays’
principle can have only limited application in the special case of nature
conservation;
Whereas it is therefore agreed that, in this exceptional case, a contribu-
tion by means of Community co-financing should be provided for
within the limits of the resources made available under the Commu-nity's decisions;
Whereas land-use planning and development policies should encourage
the management of features of the landscape which are of major impor-tance for wild fauna and flora;
Whereas a system should be set up for surveillance of the conservation
status of the natural habitats and species covered by this Directive;
Whereas a general system of protection is required for certain species
of flora and fauna to complement Directive 79/409/EEC; whereasprovision should be made for management measures for certainspecies, if their conservation status so warrants, including the prohibi-tion of certain means of capture or killing, whilst providing for thepossibility of derogations on certain conditions;
Whereas, with the aim of ensuring that the implementation of this
Directive is monitored, the Commission will periodically prepare a
composite report based, inter alia, on the information sent to it by the
Member States regarding the application of national provisions adoptedunder this Directive;
Whereas the improvement of scientific and technical knowledge is
essential for the implementation of this Directive; whereas it is conse-quently appropriate to encourage the necessary research and scientificwork;
Whereas technical and scientific progress mean that it must be possible
to adapt the Annexes; whereas a procedure should be establishedwhereby the Council can amend the Annexes;
Whereas a regulatory committee should be set up to assist the Commis-
sion in the implementation of this Directive and in particular whendecisions on Community co-financing are taken;
Whereas provision should be made for supplementary measures
governing the reintroduction of certain native species of fauna and floraand the possible introduction of non-native species;
Whereas education and general information relating to the objectives of
this Directive are essential for ensuring its effective implementation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

influences acting on a natural habitat and its typical species that
may affect its long-term natural distribution, structure and func-tions as well as the long-term survival of its typical specieswithin the territory referred to in Article 2.
►
C1The conservation status ◄of a natural habitat will be taken
as ‘favourable’ when:
— its natural range and areas it covers within that range are stable
or increasing, and
— the specific structure and functions which are necessary for its
long-term maintenance exist and are likely to continue to existfor the foreseeable future, and

category in the near future if the causal factors continue oper-
ating; or
(iii) rare, i.e. withsmall populations th at are not at present endan-
gered or vulnerable, but are at risk. The species are located
within restricted geographical areas or are thinly scatteredover a more extensive range; or
(iv) endemic and requiring particular attention by reason of the
specific nature of their habitat and/or the potential impact oftheir exploitation on their habitat and/or the potential impactof their exploitation on their conservation status.
Suchspecies are listed or may be listed in Annex II and/or Annex

within the biogeographic region or regions concerned.
For animal species ranging over wide areas, sites of Community
importance shall correspond to the places within the natural rangeof such species which present the physical or biological factorsessential to their life and reproduction;
(l)special area of conservation means a site of Community impor-
tance designated by the Member States through a statutory,administrative and/or contractual act where the necessary conser-vation measures are applied for the maintenance or restoration, ata favourable conservation status, of the natural habitats and/or the

Conservationofnaturalhabitatsandhabitatsofspecies
Article 3
1. A coherent European ecological network of special areas of
conservation shall be set up under the title Natura 2000. This network,composed of sites hosting the natural habitat types listed in Annex Iand habitats of the species listed in Annex II, shall enable the naturalhabitat types and the species' habitats concerned to be maintained or,1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 5
▼B
where appropriate, restored at a favourable conservation status in their
natural range.
The Natura 2000 network shall include the special protection areas
classified by the Member States pursuant to Directive 79/409/EEC.
2. Each Member State shall contribute to the creation of Natura
2000 in proportion to the representation within its territory of the
natural habitat types and the habitats of species referred to in paragraph
1. To that effect each Member State shall designate, in accordance withArticle 4, sites as special areas of conservation taking account of theobjectives set out in paragraph1.
3. Where they consider it necessary, Member States shall endeavour
to improve the ecological coherence of Natura 2000 by maintaining,and where appropriate developing, features of the landscape which areof major importance for wild fauna and flora, as referred to in Article10.
Article 4
1. On the basis of the criteria set out in Annex III (Stage 1) and
relevant scientific information, eachMember State sh all propose a listof sites indicating which natural habitat types in Annex I and which
species in Annex II that are native to its territory the sites host. For
animal species ranging over wide areas these sites shall correspond tothe places within the natural range of such species which present thephysical or biological factors essential to their life and reproduction.For aquatic species which range over wide areas, such sites will beproposed only where there is a clearly identifiable area representing
the physical and biological factors essential to their life and reproduc-
tion. Where appropriate, Member States shall propose adaptation of thelist in the light of the results of the surveillance referred to in Article11.
The list shall be transmitted to the Commission, within three years of
the notification of this Directive, together with information on eachsite. That information shall include a map of the site, its name, loca-tion, extent and the data resulting from application of the criteriaspecified in Annex III (Stage 1) provided in a format established bythe Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article
21.
2. On the basis of the criteria set out in Annex III (Stage 2) and in
the framework both of each of the ►
A2seven◄biogeographical
regions referred to in Article 1 (c) (iii) and of the whole of the territory
referred to in Article 2 (1), the Commission shall establish, in agree-
ment witheachMember State, a draft list of sites of Communityimportance drawn from the Member States' lists identifying►
C1those which host one ◄or more priority natural habitat types
or priority species.
Member States whose sites hosting one or more priority natural habitat
types and priority species represent more than 5 % of their nationalterritory may, in agreement with the Commission, request that thecriteria listed in Annex III (Stage 2) be applied more flexibly inselecting all the sites of Community importance in their territory.
The list of sites selected as sites of Community importance, identifying
those which host one or more priority natural habitat types or priorityspecies, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with theprocedure laid down in Article 21.
3. The list referred to in paragraph 2 shall be established within six
years of the notification of this Directive.
4. Once a site of Community importance has been adopted in accor-
dance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 2, the Member State
concerned shall designate that site as a special area of conservation assoon as possible and within six years at most, establishing priorities inthe light of the importance of the sites for the maintenance or restora-tion, at a favourable conservation status, of a natural habitat type inAnnex I or a species in Annex II and for the coherence of Natura1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 6
▼B
2000, and in the light of the threats of degradation or destruction to
which those sites are exposed.
5. As soon as a site is placed on the list referred to in the third
subparagraphof paragraph2 it sh all be subject to Article 6 (2), (3)and (4).
Article 5
1. In exceptional cases where the Commission finds that a national
list as referred to in Article 4 (1) fails to mention a site hosting apriority natural habitat type or priority species which, on the basis ofrelevant and reliable scientific information, it considers to be essentialfor the maintenance of that priority natural habitat type or for the
survival of that priority species, a bilateral consultation procedure shall
be initiated between that Member State and the Commission for thepurpose of comparing the scientific data used by each.
2. If, on expiry of a consultation period not exceeding six months,
the dispute remains unresolved, the Commission shall forward to the
Council a proposal relating to the selection of the site as a site of
Community importance.
3. The Council, acting unanimously, shall take a decision within
three months of the date of referral.
4. During the consultation period and pending a Council decision,
the site concerned shall be subject to Article 6 (2).
Article 6
1. For special areas of conservation, Member States shall establish
the necessary conservation measures involving, if need be, appropriatemanagement plans specifically designed for the sites or integrated intoother development plans, and appropriate statutory, administrative orcontractual measures which correspond to the ecological requirementsof the natural habitat types in Annex I and the species in Annex II
present on the sites.
2. Member States shall take appropriate steps to avoid, in the special
areas of conservation, the deterioration of natural habitats and the habi-tats of species as well as disturbance of the species for which the areas
have been designated, in so far as such disturbance could be significant
in relation to the objectives of this Directive.
3. Any plan or project not directly connected withor necessary to
the management of the site but likely to have a significant effectthereon, either individually or in combination with other plans or
projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications
for the site in view of the site's conservation objectives. In the light ofthe conclusions of the assessment of the implications for the site andsubject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the competent national autho-rities shall agree to the plan or project only after having ascertained
that it will not adversely affect the integrity of the site concerned and,
if appropriate, after having obtained the opinion of the general public.
4. If, in spite of a negative assessment of the implications for the
site and in the absence of alternative solutions, a plan or project mustnevertheless be carried out for imperative reasons of overriding public
interest, including those of a social or economic nature, the Member
State shall take all compensatory measures necessary to ensure thatthe overall coherence of Natura 2000 is protected. It shall inform theCommission of the compensatory measures adopted.
Where the site concerned hosts a priority natural habitat type and/or a
priority species, the only considerations which may be raised are thoserelating to human health or public safety, to beneficial consequences ofprimary importance for the environment or, further to an opinion fromthe Commission, to other imperative reasons of overriding publicinterest.1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 7
▼B
Article 7
Obligations arising under Article 6 (2), (3) and (4) of this Directive
shall replace any obligations arising under the first sentence of Article4 (4) of Directive 79/409/EEC in respect of areas classified pursuant to
Article 4 (1) or similarly recognized under Article 4 (2) thereof, as
from the date of implementation of this Directive or the date of classi-fication or recognition by a Member State under Directive 79/409/EEC,where the latter date is later.
Article 8
1. In parallel withth eir proposals for sites eligible for designation as
special areas of conservation, hosting priority natural habitat types and/or priority species, the Member States shall send, as appropriate, to the
Commission their estimates relating to the Community co-financing
which they consider necessary to allow them to meet their obligationspursuant to Article 6 (1).
2. In agreement with each of the Member States concerned, the
Commission shall identify, for sites of Community importance forwhich co-financing is sought, those measures essential for the mainte-nance or re-establishment at a favourable conservation status of the
priority natural habitat types and priority species on the sites
concerned, as well as the total costs arising from those measures.
3. The Commission, in agreement with the Member States
concerned, shall assess the financing, including co-financing, requiredfor the operation of the measures referred to in paragraph 2, takinginto account, amongst other things, the concentration on the MemberState's territory of priority natural habitat types and/or priority species
and the relative burdens which the required measures entail.
4. According to the assessment referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3, the
Commission shall adopt, having regard to the available sources offunding under the relevant Community instruments and according tothe procedure set out in Article 21, a prioritized action framework ofmeasures involving co-financing to be taken when the site has been
designated under Article 4 (4).
5. The measures which have not been retained in the action frame-
work for lack of sufficient resources, as well as those included in the
abovementioned action framework which have not received the neces-sary co-financing or have only been partially co-financed, shall bereconsidered in accordance withth e procedure set out in Article 21, inthe context of the two-yearly review of the action framework and may,
in the maintime, be postponed by the Member States pending such
review. This review shall take into account, as appropriate, the newsituation of the site concerned.
6. In areas where the measures dependent on co-financing are post-
poned, Member States shall refrain from any new measures likely toresult in deterioration of those areas.
Article 9
The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in
Article 21, shall periodically review the contribution of Natura 2000towards achievement of the objectives set out in Article 2 and 3. In
this context, a special area of conservation may be considered for
declassification where this is warranted by natural developments notedas a result of the surveillance provided for in Article 11.
Article 10
Member States shall endeavour, where they consider it necessary, in
their land-use planning and development policies and, in particular,witha view to improving th e ecological ►
C1coherence of the
Natura◄2000 network, to encourage the management of features of
the landscape which are of major importance for wild fauna and flora.1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 8
▼B
Such features are those which, by virtue of their linear and continuous
structure (such as rivers with their banks or the traditional systems formarking field boundaries) or their function as stepping stones (such as
ponds or small woods), are essential for the migration, dispersal and
genetic exchange of wild species.
Article 11
Member States shall undertake surveillance of the conservation status
of the natural habitats and species referred to in Article 2 with parti-cular regard to priority natural habitat types and priority species.
Protection ofspecies
Article 12
1. Member States shall take the requisite measures to establish a
system of strict protection for the animal species listed in Annex IV(a) in their natural range, prohibiting:
(a) all forms of deliberate capture or killing of specimens of these
species in the wild;
(b) deliberate disturbance of these species, particularly during the
period of breeding, rearing, hibernation and migration;
(c) deliberate destruction or taking of eggs from the wild;
(d) deterioration or destruction of breeding sites or resting places.
2. For these species, Member States shall prohibit the keeping,
transport and sale or exchange, and offering for sale or exchange, ofspecimens taken from the wild, except for those taken legally beforethis Directive is implemented.
3. The prohibition referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) and para-
graph 2 shall apply to all stages of life of the animals to which thisArticle applies.
4. Member States shall establish a system to monitor the incidential
capture and killing of the animal species listed in Annex IV (a). In thelight of the information gathered, Member States shall take furtherresearchor conservation measures as required to ensure th at incidentalcapture and killing does not have a significant negative impact on thespecies concerned.
Article 13
1. Member States shall take the requisite measures to establish a
system of strict protection for the plant species listed in Annex IV (b),prohibiting:
(a) the deliberate picking, collecting, cutting, uprooting or destruction
of such plants in their natural range in the wild;
(b) the keeping, transport and sale or exchange and offering for sale or
exchange of specimens of such species taken in the wild, except forthose taken legally before this Directive is implemented.
2. The prohibitions referred to in paragraph 1 (a) and (b) shall apply
to all stages of the biological cycle of the plants to which this Articleapplies.
Article 14
1. If, in the light of the surveillance provided for in Article 11,
Member States deem it necessary, they shall take measures to ensurethat the taking in the wild of specimens of species of wild fauna andflora listed in Annex V as well as their exploitation is compatiblewithth eir being maintained at a favourable conservation status.1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 9
▼B
2. Where such measures are deemed necessary, they shall include
continuation of the surveillance provided for in Article 11. Suchmeasures may also include in particular:
— regulations regarding access to certain property,
— temporary or local prohibition of the taking of specimens in the
wild and exploitation of certain populations,
— regulation of the periods and/or methods of taking specimens,— application, when specimens are taken, of hunting and fishing rules
which take account of the conservation of such populations,
— establishment of a system of licences for taking specimens or of
quotas,
— regulation of the purchase, sale, offering for sale, keeping for sale
or transport for sale of specimens,
— breeding in captivity of animal species as well as artificial propaga-
tion of plant species, under strictly controlled conditions, withaview to reducing the taking of specimens of the wild,
— assessment of the effect of the measures adopted.
Article 15
In respect of the capture or killing of species of wild fauna listed in
Annex V (a) and in cases where, in accordance with Article 16, dero-gations are applied to the taking, capture or killing of species listed inAnnex IV (a), Member States shall prohibit the use of all indiscrimi-nate means capable of causing local disappearance of, or seriousdisturbance to, populations of suchspecies, and in particular:
(a) use of the means of capture and killing listed in Annex VI (a);
(b) any form of capture and killing from the modes of transport
referred to in Annex VI (b).
Article 16
1. Provided that there is no satisfactory alternative and the deroga-
tion is not detrimental to the maintenance of the populations of thespecies concerned at a favourable conservation status in their naturalrange, Member States may derogate from the provisions of Articles
12, 13, 14 and 15 (a) and (b):
(a) in the interest of protecting wild fauna and flora and conserving
natural habitats;
(b) to prevent serious damage, in particular to crops, livestock, forests,
fisheries and water and other types of property;
(c) in the interests of public health and public safety, or for other
imperative reasons of overriding public interest, including those of
a social or economic nature and beneficial consequences of primaryimportance for the environment;
(d) for the purpose of research and education, of repopulating and re-
introducing these species and for the breedings operations neces-sary for these purposes, including the artificial propagation ofplants;
(e) to allow, under strictly supervised conditions, on a selective basis
and to a limited extent, the taking or keeping of certain specimensof the species listed in Annex IV in limited numbers specified bythe competent national authorities.
2. Member States shall forward to the Commission every two years
a report in accordance with the format established by the Committee on
the derogations applied under paragraph 1. The Commission shall giveits opinion on these derogations within a maximum time limit of 12months following receipt of the report and shall give an account tothe Committee.1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 10
▼B
3. The reports shall specify:
(a) the species which are subject to the derogations and the reason for
the derogation, including the nature of the risk, with, if appropriate,a reference to alternatives rejected and scientific data used;
(b) the means, devices or methods authorized for the capture or killing
of animal species and the reasons for their use;
(c) the circumstances of when and where such derogations are granted;
(d) the authority empowered to declare and check that the required
conditions obtain and to decide what means, devices or methods
may be used, within what limits and by what agencies, and whichpersons►

In implementing the provisions of this Directive, Member States shall:
(a) study the desirability of re-introducing species in Annex IV that are
native to their territory where this might contribute to their conser-
vation, provided that an investigation, also taking into accountexperience in other Member States or elsewhere, has establishedthat such re-introduction contributes effectively to re-establishingthese species at a favourable conservation status and that it takesplace only after proper consultation of the public concerned;
(b) ensure that the deliberate introduction into the wild of any species
which is not native to their territory is regulated so as not to preju-dice natural habitats within their natural range or the wild nativefauna and flora and, if they consider it necessary, prohibit suchintroduction. The results of the assessment undertaken shall beforwarded to the committee for information;

ANNEX III
CRITERIA FOR SELECTING SITES ELIGIBLE FOR IDENTIFICA-
TION AS SITES OF COMMUNITY IMPORTANCE AND
DESIGNATIONASSPECIALAREASOFCONSERVATION
STAGE 1:Assessment at national level of the relative importance of sites
for each natural habitat type in Annex I and each species in
Annex II (including priority natural habitat types and priority
species)
A.Site assessment criteria for a given natural habitat type in Annex I
(a) Degree of representativity of the natural habitat ►C1type on the
site.◄
(b) Area of the site covered by the natural habitat type in relation to the
total area covered by that natural habitat type within national territory.
(c) Degree of conservation of the structure and functions of the natural
habitat type concerned and restoration possibilities.
(d) Global assessment of the value of the site for conservation of the natural
habitat type concerned.
B.Site assessment criteria for a given species in Annex II
(a) Size and density of the population of the species present on the site in
relation to the populations present within national territory.
(b) Degree of conservation of the features of the habitat which are important
for the species concerned and restoration possibilities.
(c) Degree of isolation of the population present on the site in relation to the
natural range of the species.
(d) Global assessment of the value of the site for conservation of the species
concerned.
C. On the basis of these criteria, Member States will classify the sites which
they propose on the national list as sites eligible for identification as sites
of Community importance according to their relative value for the conserva-
tion of eachnatural h abitat type in Annex I or eachspecies in Annex II.
D. That list will show the sites containing the priority natural habitat types and
priority species selected by the Member States on the basis of the criteria in
A and B above.
STAGE 2:Assessment of the Community importance of the sites included
onthenationallists
1. All the sites identified by the Member States in Stage 1 which contain
priority natural habitat types and/or species will be considered as sites of
Community importance.
2. The assessment of the Community importance of other sites on Member
States' lists, i.e. their contribution to maintaining or re-establishing, at a
favourable conservation status, a natural habitat in Annex I or a species in
Annex II and/or to the coherence of Natura 2000 will take account of the
following criteria:
(a) relative value of the site at national level;
(b) geographical situation of the site in relation to migration routes of
species in Annex II and whether it belongs to a continuous ecosystem
situated on bothsides of one or more internal Community frontiers;
(c) total area of the site;
(d) number of natural habitat types in Annex I and species in Annex II
present on the site;
(e) global ecological value of the site for the biogeographical regions
concerned and/or for the whole of the territory referred to in Article 2,
as regards both ►C1the characteristic or unique ◄aspect of its
features and the way they are combined.1992L0043 — EN — 01.05.2004 — 004.001 — 43
