CONCERNING FORESTRY MEASURES

EXPLANATORY NOTE 0!
1.Initsresolution of25May 1971 onthenewguide lines ofthe
common agricultural policy ,theCouncil decided toadopt ,later
andonaproposal from theCommission ,measures toencourage
afforestation .On17April 1972 theCouncil decided onthefirst
oommon measures relating toagrarian structure ?theCommission
considers that itwould consequently beappropriate tosubmit to
theCouncil aproposal foracommon operation to .encourage forestry
measures fortheimmediate purpose ofimproving agrarian structure
andwith thebroader aimofmaking forestry form part ofareally
<
effective pattern ofland use in -which itisharmonized tothebest
i
possible advantage with agriculture and theenvironment .
2.Forestry 'smajor contributions totheimprovement ofagrarian
structure aretwofold .First ,forestry provides employment both
intheforest andsubsequently inwood processing industries inrural are
areas where theopportunities foragricultural employment are de­
creasing .Secondly ,forestry puts togood useland that isno
longer suitable fororrequired foragriculture .Thepresent
proposal thus areanessential complement totheCommunity
aotion already taken inthis matter .
3.Forestry ,however ,provides much wider benefits .Lnimportant
objective istheproduction ofwood .All I'lember States ofthe
Community arenetimporters andtheCommunity asawhole imports
nearly half ofitsrequirements offorest products .Anincrease J
inwood production therefore seems desirable ,especially asthe
long term wood supply position ontheworld market is,tosaythe
least ,uncertain .Ofsimilar importance and ,incertain circumstances
ofeven greater importance arethecontributions which forestry makes
tothe "beauty ofthelandscape ,totheconservation offauna andflora
and totheprotection ofthe

soil ;woodlands also shelter adjacent agricultural crops against
wind .These functions areallanintegral part offorest management
andaxetherefore covered "bythepresent proposal .
4.TheCotmcil initsresolution of25May 1971 mentioned recreation
asanadditional objective tobepursued inthecontext ofCommunity
measures onforestry .Provision forthis important useofforests has
therefore also been included inthepresent proposal .
5.Explanations forthedetailed measures proposed aregiven in
thepreamble tothedraft directive .
