Implementation of natura 2000 in new EU members states of Central Europe : assessment report
The implementation of Natura 2000 in the New EU Member States of Central Europe is a long process which began with the signing of Accession Treaties in the beginning of the 1990s and will continue for several years. Environmental NGOs have been lobbying for proper designation and implementation of Natura 2000 sites with the involvement of civil society. This publication, prepared by several experts from nature protection organisations, gives a picture of this process.
Food safety in the new member states : implementation of the acquis communautaire and communication to farmers and consumers
Since 2004, the ten new Member States of the European Union found themselves in a new political and legal environment. After accession to the EU, the key task of the governments of the ten is to reach a balance between co-operation to introduce sustainable, efficient and effective policies dealing with consumer protection, sustainable development and food safety at the EU level on one hand; and on the other hand, to provide services and activities on national, regional and local levels, responding to the diverse social, ecological and economic situations in each Member State.
