Bulgaria slow t? designate sites f?r Natura 2000 protection scheme
Bulgaria is yet t? prepare ? list ?f tracts t? b? included in th? EU Natura 2000 Network ?f protected species habitat sites despite th? fact th?t it has only 3 months t? comply with th? January 1, 2007 deadline. th? network ?f protected sites under Natura 2000 could encompass 20% t? 30% ?f Bulgaria's territory, up fr?m only 5% ?t th? moment.
Land owners and investors fear they could b? facing irreversible restrictions ?n th? use ?f their property.
Under th? procedure, th? sites will b? nominated b? eco organisations and then will have t? b? approved b? th? environment ministry and th? government.
Key issues like th? compensation payments f?r losses arising fr?m designation ?f th? Natura 2000 network and th? construction and otherwise restrictions th?t will apply ?n th? territory ?f th? protected sites ?r? yet t? b? cleared up.
Some 900 mln euro will b? set aside f?r th? national compensation scheme, said Simeon Marin fr?m th? Green Balkans organisation which is th? local Natura 2000 co-ordinator. th? farming ministry refused t? quote ? figure f?r th? compensation scheme, saying th? whole project w?s still in flux.
Affected land owners and users will b? eligible t? apply f?r compensation ?n ?n annual basis, said Marin, adding th?t payments have been projected ?t 40 euro/ha. th? size ?f th? payout will depend ?n th? type and severity ?f th? land use restrictions.
