5 definition Land Consolidation is a mean with view to improving the production and working conditions in agriculture and forestry as well as promoting the general use and development of land and rural areas by re-arrangement of agricultural land

6 actual development and trends land readjustment in urban areas no obvious important development ( neither in West nor in East Europe) but even two aspects in Germany: a new simplified land readjustment instrument the application of sovereign land readjustment tools is decreasing

7 actual development and trends land consolidation in rural areas in West European countries (WECs) - turn over from a sectoral agricultural to an integrated approach - an instrument for solving land use conflicts - an environmental-friendly and sustainable land management instrument - an indispensable mean for an integrated rural development

8 actual development and trends land consolidation in rural areas in Central and East European countries (CEECs) - secret weapon against the land reform desaster - driving forces with view to future improvement of agricultural efficiency CAP of EU general rural development natural resource management rural infrastructure, environment

9 actual development and trends land consolidation in rural areas in Central and East European countries - various approaches in China land consolidation by market transactions (Albania) voluntary exchange of parcels (Armenia, Georgia, Bulgaria etc.) comprehensive compulsory land consolidation (Czech Republic, Slovenia etc.) - land consolidation as a re-arrangement of land tenure

10 international support and scientific activities Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) - workshops - publications United Nations Economic Commission for Europe - Working Party on Land Administration (UN ECE WPLA) - periodical workshops (twice per year) - Land Administration Reviews

11 international support and scientific activities Central European Land Knowledge Center (CELKCenter) - CELK services networking service knowledge pool service project coordination service - Exchange Programme - Research Programme

12 international support and scientific activities Concerning CEECs by FAO: - Current and emerging issues for economic analysis and policy research (CUREMIS II) Concerning WECs: - a transnational INTERREG III C project FARLAND (partners: Portugal, Galicia, Flanders, Netherlands, Northrhine Westphalia, Hungary, Lithuania) - impact oriented controlling of the land consolidation (calculation of the public/ domestic added value) (Northrhine - Westphalia)
