Ex-post Evaluation of the EU Forest Action Plan
Abstract
Building on the Council Resolution of 15 December 1998 on a forestry strategy for the European Union, the report on the implementation of the EU Forestry Strategy and consequent Council Conclusions, the EU Forest Action Plan (FAP) was adopted on 15 June 2006. The overall aim of the EU FAP is to support and enhance sustainable forest management and multifunctional role of forests. It provides a framework for the implementation of forest-related actions at Community and Member States level, and serves as an instrument of co-ordination between different Community actions as well as between Community actions and forest policies of the Member States. The purpose and aims of the ex-post evaluation of the EU FAP will be to provide a review of the implementation, effectiveness and appropriateness of the EU Forest Action Plan, to analyse if the objectives of the EU Forest Action Plan have been met, if the Action Plan has led to any side effects, whether the instruments used are appropriate, relevant, effective and efficient and what was the role of the key actors, and to examine if the EU Forest Action Plan is the most suitable framework for forest related actions and instrument of coordination between the Community and Member States. The study was commissioned by the European Commission to the European Forest Institute, and EFICEEC, a Regional Office of EFI at BOKU contributes to the work.
