Abstract
Forest-specific funding in the European Union: implementation in three cases The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development is the most important source of funding for forest relevant activities in the European Union. In order to simplify administrative procedures, the fund underwent major changes in light of the funding period 2014–2020. Based on the cases of Austria and the two German constituent states Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria we analyze the development of the fund in relation to its use in the funding periods 2007–2013 und 2014–2020. The cases have taken different implementation strategies: from widespread utilization of the EU instrument in Austria to withdrawing from the funding mechanism in Bavaria. The analysis indicates that national conditions and the forest administrations' perceptions of the complexity of the EU instrument could have led to such diverging uses.
