Summary:

In the Netherlands, it turned out that, notwithstanding active involvement by the Dutch government in shaping the Habitats Directive, there was considerable ‘misfit’ between the Directive and existing national arrangements. In 1998, an NGO-initiated discussion around the protection of the habitat of the korenwolf generated a wave of public and media attention. This little hamster on the verge of extinction became a symbol for inadequate implementation of EU policies in the Netherlands. Pursued by legal and administrative action by interest groups and stakeholders, the Habitats Directive rapidly moved up the political and public agenda.
