Scope
Are property rights affected (land, movable property, tangible/intangible assets)? Is acquisition, sale or use of property rights limited? Or will there be a complete loss of property?[1]
Definition
Contrary to the case of Intellectual and Industrial Property rights, however, little action has historically been taken at EU level in order to assure protection of property rights; in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, this area has been traditionally regulated at the national level.
However, there are instances in which Community action may result in impacts affecting the enjoyment of property rights and/ or of the prerogatives attached to them.
Cases may be found in the designation of areas within the Natura 2000 network, with consequent limitation of the landowner's freedom of use of the property, or in the Nitrates directive, under which some zones are classified as vulnerable, with an obligation to implement the "zero fertilizer" rule, or to only keep a limited number of heads of livestock per hectare.[1]
