(19) Geo-political developments have further underlined the need to safeguard the resilience of food systems.62 Evidence shows that restoring agro-ecosystems has positive impacts on food productivity in the long-term, and that the restoration of nature acts as an insurance policy to ensure the EU’s long-term sustainability and resilience. Securing biodiversity and maintaining food production are intrinsically linked. Prime examples of such synergies are the sustainable management of fishing stocks for fisheries and the benefit of soil fertility and pollinators in agriculture. However, those synergies can only be optimised if food producers, such as farmers and fishers, are continuously involved and consulted in relation to the development of relevant measures. _________________ 62 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European, Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, Safeguarding food security and reinforcing the resilience of food systems, COM (2022) 133 final.

(26) Directive 92/43/EEC aims to maintain and restore, at favourable conservation status, natural habitats and species of wild fauna and flora of Union interest. However, it does not set a deadline for achieving that goal. Similarly, Directive 2009/147/EC does not establish a deadline for theDirective 2009/147/EC aims to recovery of bird populations in the Union.

(27) Deadlines should therefore be established for putting in place restoration measures within and beyond Natura 2000 sites, in order to gradually improve the condition of protected habitat types across the Union as well as to re-establish them until the favourable reference area needed to achieve favourable conservation status of those habitat types in the Union is reached. In order to give the necessary flexibility to Member States to put in place large scale restoration efforts, it is appropriate to group habitat types according to the ecosystem to which they belong and set the time-bound and quantified area-based targets for groups of habitat types. This will allow Member States to choose which habitats to restore first within the groupMember States should be further supported in taking measures to meet their obligations to improve the condition of protected habitat types across the Union to achieve favourable conservation status of those habitat types in the Union, as is their obligation under existing nature legislation such as Directive 92/43/EEC and Directive 2009/147/EC.

(31) In order to ensure that the restoration measures are efficient and that their results can be measured over time, it is essential that the areas that are subject to such restoration measures, with a view to improving the condition of habitats that fall within the scope of Annex I to Directive 92/43/EEC, to re-establish those habitats and to improve their connectivity, show a continuous improvement until good condition is reached. However, a continuous improvement should not be made legally binding, since Member States cannot always prevent there will be a year in which the conditions of habitats lowers, due to various natural circumstances.

(32) It is also essential that the areas that are subject to restoration measures with a view to improving the quality and quantity of the habitats of species that fall within the scope of Directive 92/43/EEC, as well as habitats of wild birds falling within the scope of Directive 2009/147/EC, show a continuous improvement to contribute to the achievement of a sufficient quantity and quality of the habitats of such species. However, a continuous improvement should not be made legally binding, since Member States cannot always prevent there will be a year in which the conditions of habitats lowers, due to various natural circumstances.

Recital 35
(35) It is important that Member States take measures with the aim to prevent that the areas covered by habitat types falling within the scope of this Regulation do not, deteriorate as compared to the current situation, considering the current restoration needs and the necessity not to further increase the restoration needs in the future. It is, however, appropriate to consider the possibility of force majeure, which may result in the deterioration of areas covered by those habitat types, as well as unavoidable habitat transformations which are directly caused by climate change, or as a result of a plan or project, or needs of overriding public interest, for which no less damaging alternative solutions are available, to be determined on a case by case basis, or of a plan or project authorised in accordance with Article 6(4) of Directive 92/43/EEC.

Recital 50
(50) Restoration measures need to be put in place to enhance the biodiversity of agricultural ecosystems across the Union, including in the areas not covered by habitat types that fall within the scope of Directive 92/43/EEC. In the absence of a common method for assessing the condition of agricultural ecosystems that would allow setting specific restoration targets for agricultural ecosystems, it is appropriate to set a general obligationupport Member States in taking measures to improve biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems and measure the fulfilment of that obligationprogress on the basis of existing indicators.
