Meeting of Forest Fire Prevention Experts, Brussels May 14th, 2004
Lack of harmonized information on forest fires and their impact in Europe
• Forest Fires (EEC 2158/92)Need to monitor the effect of atmospheric pollution on forests
• Atmospheric Pollution on forests (EEC Reg. 3528/86)
Need for improved cooperation in forest fire preparedness and fighting
• Community Action Plan on Civil ProtectionNeed to enhance regional development on areas affected by hazards
• European Spatial Development Perspective (ESDP)/ ESPONOther policies related to fires
• Rural Development, follow up of EFICS
