In the 2017 EIR, the main challenges identified for In the area of nature conservation, thanks to an effective Belgium for the implementation of EU environmental use of EU funding, several measures are under way to policy and law were to: restore and manage Natura 2000 sites. Agricultural management measures have also been stepped up to improve air quality, in particular nitrogen dioxide protect species and habitats, although it is currently levels, by reducing traffic congestion; unclear if these measures are sufficient to counteract the continue to address water pollution coming from negative trends in the wider countryside that are due to urban wastewater and agricultural sources; agricultural intensification and resulting eutrophication. manage the Natura 2000 network towards An issue raised in this report is the need to ensure better favourable conservation status for all species and implementation of the EU Timber Regulation. habitats.

  • State Forestry in Belgium Since the End of the Eighteenth Century
    / CHAPTER 3 State Forestry in Belgium since the End of the Eighteenth Century Pierre-Alain Tallier, Hilde Verboven, Kris Vandekerkhove, Hans Baeté and Kris Verheyen Forests are a key element in the structure of the landscape. Today they cover about 692,916 hectares, or about 22.7 per cent of Belgium. Unevenly distributed over the country, they constitute one of Belgium’s rare natural resources. For centuries, people have shaped these forests according to their needs and interests, resulting in the creation of man- aged forests with, to a greater or lesser extent, altered structure and species composition. Belgian forests have a long history in this respect. For millennia, they have served as a hideout, a place of worship, a food storage area and a material reserve for our ancestors. Our predecessors not only found part of their food supply in forests, but used the avail- able resources (herbs, leaves, brooms, heathers, beechnuts, acorns, etc.) to feed and to make their flocks of cows, goats and sheep prosper. Above all, forests have provided people with wood – a natural and renewable resource. As in many countries, depending on the available trees and technological evolutions, wood products have been used in various and multiple ways, such as heating and cooking (firewood, later on charcoal), making agricultural implements and fences (farmwood), and constructing and maintaining roads. Forests delivered huge quan- tities of wood for fortification, construction and furnishing, pit props, naval construction, coaches and carriages, and much more. Wood remained a basic material for industrial production up until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, when it was increasingly replaced by iron, concrete, plastic and other synthetic materials.

  • Paths to the City and Roads to Death Mortality and Migration in East Belgium During the Industrial Revolution
    Paths to the city and roads to death Mortality and migration in East Belgium during the industrial revolution MICHEL ORIS Professor, Department of Economic History, University of Geneva GEORGE ALTER Professor, Population Institute for Research and Training (PIRT), Indiana University INTRODUCTION For a long time, population historians have believed that urban populations in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period were not able to grow without migration from rural areas (De Vries, 1984, ch. 9). In a famous contribution, Sharlin (1978) emphasized the importance of differential mortality of natives and immigrants in this urban demographic dynamic. However, this question has been neglected by researchers working on the nineteenth century, while it is during that period that rural worlds became more urban and industrial (see Williamson, 1988 for a nice exception). In France (Pitié, 1979, esp. 25-29), in England (Lawton, 1989, 8-9) as well as in Belgium (Van Molle, 1983), several authors have studied the immediate perceptions of such major changes. Ur- banization, especially the industrial type, has been seen as a monster, a chaotic explosion of mines, a mass of factories and miserable houses constructed without order and caution, a cradle of new epidemics like cholera, and a society where promiscuity endangers sexual morality as well as private hygiene (Moch, 1992, 143). Moreover, the chaos of the tentacle towns (“les villes tenta- culaires” of the Belgian poet Verhaeren) consumed a rural world depicted in soft colors, as the refuge of naivety, virtues, morality, health, and so on. Naturally, the migrant was typically pictured as a rustic, morally and physi- cally destroyed by the perversity of the urban environment (Pinol, 1991, 55- 60).

It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more speci®cally the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT's role primarily consists of: ± helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically ef®cient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; ± helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level. The Council of the Conference comprises the Ministers of Transport of 39 full Member countries: Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.), Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

Introduction rom July 2013 to June 2018, the Life+ OZON project put considerable Fwork into the ecological defragmentation of the Sonian Forest, along with the support of the European structural fund Life+, in a broad partnership across the borders of competences, administrative levels and regions. Browse through this report and find out how and why the most tangible achievements of the project came about. Although summarising all the details of five years of study, construction and monitoring activities in this overview is virtually impossible, we hope that you get a good picture of the project and easily find your way to the extra online information.
