In order to analyze and discuss the possibilities offered by the main European financial instruments for the implementation of the necessary measures in the Natura 2000 network, a consultation to the agencies in charge of the management of those funds in Spain is envisaged. The following funds are considered:
- European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)
- European Fisheries Fund (EFF)
- European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
- European Social Fund (ESF)
- Cohesion Fund (CF)
- Financial instrument for the environment (LIFE +)
- Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7)
Moreover, representatives of other public and private funds will also be consulted, as for instance public and private foundations, companies, financial institutions implementing environmental programs, etc.
