WRITTEN QUESTION E-2132/01

by Renate Sommer (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(17 July 2001)

Subject: Conservation of ancient European trees

The EU has for several years been providing substantial funds to protect woodlands from destruction by
fire or atmospheric pollution.

According to reports from a number of Member States, however, large stands (cid:129) some hundreds of years
old (cid:129) are being legally and illegally cleared to make room for new industry or housing estates. This
situation cannot be reconciled with the desire to halt the further depletion of wooded areas.

How might the Commission bring its influence to bear on the countries concerned to prevent other

1.
valuable growing trees being grubbed up?

2. What medium- and long-term plans does it have in place to promote reafforestation in the EU?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(6 September 2001)

The United Nations report on forestry resources in the temperate and boreal countries [sic] (Global Forest
Resources Assessment 2000, ECE/FAO TBFRA 2000) shows that, in contrast to the situation in the United
States and Canada, woodland has increased in all the Community(cid:146)s Member States over the past fifty years.

In the Community, regional planning and forestry policy fall within the competence of the Member States.
The Commission is not able to object to the use of woodland for infrastructure or development activities
unless the land is specifically protected under Community rules such as Directive 92/43/EEC on the
conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1).

The Community not only encourages forest protection measures,
it also supports Member States(cid:146)
investment measures under rural development policy aimed at preserving or improving the economic,
ecological and social functions of forests and the afforestation of agricultural land.

The budget of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guidance Section, for 2002
earmarks € 288 million of rural development money for supporting Member States(cid:146) programmes to
develop such forestry measures.

ures for the markets in pigmeat and veal were adopted

(2)

(3)

for this Member State by Commission Regulation (EC)
