What changes are needed? The implementation of EU's Rural Development Policy
This report follows up FERN’s earlier study “Funding forests into the future? How the European Fund for Rural Development affects Europe’s forests”. It focuses on how national programmes – and more specifically their forestry measures – have been implemented in six countries. The key questions that are looked at in the report include: What, if anything, have the individual countries done to address the issues raised in 2008, and can implementation of the RDPs do anything to improve forestry management practices and encourage forest conservation?

Funding forests into the future
Looking at how the European Fund for Rural Development affects Europe's forests, this report is the culmination of research and reports from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Ireland, Hungary, Portugal and Romania. It reveals that the Commission's own safety net of having NGO consultation and partnership has been routinely ignored and comes up with a series of recommendations to ensure the Rural Development Fund reduces biodiversity loss across Europe.
Individual country reports in the series are available from www.fern.org
