L. whereas there is an urgent need to safeguard, both in the current Member States and in the accession countries, the less intensive forms of agriculture and other human activities that are less intrusive, as scientific evidence shows that such practices in fact benefit the maintaining of biodiversity; whereas many habitat types are intimately associated with human use of land and other resources and are extremely vulnerable to changes in the nature of this exploitation; whereas measures under the rural development regulation adopted by Agenda 2000 are available to promote the implementation of Natura 2000 - incl ...[+++]uding buffer zones and ecological corridors - and these need to be applied carefully, evaluated and their budget increased considerably; whereas the Commission should at some stage in the future include a specific reference to the Natura 2000 network in the regulation on rural development,

Conclusions At the end of this first evaluation and analysis exercise concerning resources for the monitoring of the fishing industry, the Commission takes the view that it must in future give priority to the following: - validation of the information transmitted by each Member State on resources devoted to control work and the outcome of this work; - new areas being covered by control work at Community level (in particular structural policy, market monitoring, possibility of checks during transport, and the development of systematic ...[+++] cross-checks between different sources of information); - the problems in each fishery that lie behind major infringements of Community regulations to the possible detriment of other Member States (e.g. quota overruns in the North and Baltic Seas and disregard of technical conservation rules in Region 3); - coordination between national administrations and between them and the Commission departments, particularly through accelerated implementation of new technology (satellite monitoring, computer links, etc.), plus coordination of action at sea (e.g. in the Atlantic tuna fisheries, checks on catches by vessels operating in the EEZ of one Member State and landing at a port in another,etc.) To sum up, the report stresses the role to be played by the Commission in the process of coordination in order to improve synergy and dispel suspicion between the various interests involved.
