  1. Vogelbescherming Nederland Dutch Partner in BirdLife International Together for birds and people

  2. Priorities: • Legal protection • Species and Habitats • Important Bird Areas (IBA’s)

  3. Involvement with wind energy projects: • Conservation of IBA’s • Share knowledge, inform public • Promote research • Contribute to Policy development

  4. Adverse effects of wind power generation on birds • Collision mortality • Barrier-effect • Habitat-loss

  5. Wind turbines are industrial installations and should by preference be placed on industrial estates. • Common knowledge on adverse effects requires precaution and carefulness, especialy in IBA’s

  6. IBA’s: enviromental impact assessment required • SPA’s: strict application of article 6 EU-Habitatdirective: • Appropriate assessment • Alternative solutions • Imperative reasons of overriding public interest.

  7. Conclusions with regard to participation and decision making processes • The application of art. 6 HD in SPA’s guarantees sufficient posibilities to ensure carefulness and the apply of the precautionary principle • Elsewhere, the regular use of Enviromental Impact Assessments do need more juridical quarantees for the position of the enviromental aspects - including the precautionary principle - in the final decision making.
