WRITTEN QUESTION E-2432/99

by Michl Ebner (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(16 December 1999)

Subject: Reintroduction of wolves, bears and lynx

Will the Commission say whether there are any specific measures in progress (co-financed or not) to reintroduce wolves, bears and lynx? Have any measures been co-financed in the past for this purpose and are there any plans to do so in the near future?

Answer given by Mrs Wallström on behalf of the Commission

(11 January 2000)

Many projects have been financed under the financial instrument LIFE-Nature and its predecessors since 1988 aiming either directly or indirectly at the conservation of wolf, brown bear and lynx.

In particular the wolf has been one of the species targeted in 21 projects, the lynx in 14 and the brown bear in 17.

These projects certainly represent the major Community investment for the protection of these species.

Further to that, Member States may have taken similar or complementary initiatives in the framework of other Community funds.

Other projects for the conservation of these species may be financed in the future under LIFE III, provided good quality projects are presented for this purpose.
