Extension of LIFE Financial Instrument to 2006 (Amending Reg 1655/2000)

This procedure aims to extend the LIFE program, the European Union's primary funding tool for environmental and nature conservation projects, until the end of 2006. By amending the existing regulation, the EU ensures continued financial support for initiatives that protect biodiversity and improve environmental quality.

This extension benefits environmental organizations, local authorities, and nature conservation projects across the EU, allowing them to continue receiving funding for critical ecological initiatives.
