2a. Highlights that restoring, maintaining and growing the European forest fund must be done by taking all necessary measures compliant with healthy financial management; stresses that any sound financial management must ensure that it differentiates sufficiently, by taking into account the fact that different tree species are tied to specific regions and habitats, which is paramount to an efficient and successful forest strategy; planting, therefore, should be done with full consideration of the ecological, biological and historical specificities of the regions, in order to ensure that forests retain their natural species composition;
