Habitats and Birds Directives: foreseedesignation of protected areas which form a coherent European ecological network (Natura 2000 network) and are subject to strong protection and management requirements in order to achieve Favourable Conservation Status for the EU's most vulnerable habitats and species.

In 2000, an interpretation document was published on the management of Natura 2000, the "coherent European ecological network of special areas of conservation", for which the Habitat Directive provides.

In the air sector, for example, a European network system approach is essential if the targets of efficient, safe and environmentally sustainable traffic performance are to be achieved.

But most importantly, ITS is also key to achieving major Community policy objectives in transport and beyond, in the field of safety (better informed and supported users), security (tracing, identification), efficiency of operations, tackling congestion (effective demand management and cross-modal network balancing through pricing, implementation of legal provisions) and fighting climate change (energy efficiency, eco-driving, green corridors and a more efficient and effective European co-modal transport system through e-freight, e-maritime).
