| Short description: |
Soil is essentially a non-renewable resource and a very dynamic system which
performs many functions and delivers services vital to human activities and ecosystems
survival. Information available suggests that, over recent decades, there has been a
significant increase of soil degradation processes, and there is evidence that they will
further increase if no action is taken.
Though soil protection provisions exist in the Community acquis, there is no specific
Community legislation on soil protection. The current proposal aims at filling this gap
and has the objective of establishing a common strategy for the protection and
sustainable use of soil based on the principles of integration of soil concerns into other
policies, preservation of soil functions within the context of sustainable use, prevention
of threats to soil and mitigation of their effects, as well as restoration of degraded soils
to a level of functionality consistent at least with the current and approved future use...
