Administrative costs for farmers and forests owners with lands in Natura 2000 areas

The establishment of the NATURA 2000 network of classified territories has resulted in a number of new administrative tasks for the farmers and landowners in the designated sites. The study provides an overview of the types of administrative costs incurred through legislation, four short case studies of additional obligations and
restrictions in four Member States, and a proposal for a cost model integrating the supplementary administrative costs falling on farmers and landowners in NATURA
2000 sites.
