    This paper discusses the role of FAO support to the Government of Mozambiques Land Commission since 1995, through three consecutive projects. While each has had a relatively short duration, all have been planned and implemented within a single conceptual framework with a much longer time horizon. This has allowed a difficult and complex issue to be progressively developed and nurtured within a realistic time scale, while building up a strong sense of national ownership of the process.

    This discussion paper has been prepared by FAO’s Land Tenure and Management Unit to
    
    seek views and comments on voluntary guidelines on responsible governance of tenure of

    livelihoods; it deters investment and widespread economic growth and discourages the
    
    sustainable use of natural resources. In contrast, responsible governance of tenure ensures

    EU membership has profound implications for all parts of a country’s economy,

    as well as for its relationships with the other countries in Europe and its internal

    political structures. Members of the EU must be democracies governed by the rule

    of law and which guarantee human rights. They must have functioning market

    economies able to withstand the competitive pressures that EU membership brings,

    and governmental structures capable of discharging the wide range of obligations

    In countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the development of arrangements for land consolidation takes place in the wake of the transition to a new private property regime, and in the context of accession to the European Union. The process of institutional change is complex and sensitive to immediate political and economic agendas. It is also determined by other prevailing social, economic and cultural factors.

    Land cover maps constitute a necessary tool for development planning and management of the territory. Furthermore, land cover maps depicting the current reality are a must in countries where, due to political changes, rapid dynamic phenomena have taken place, resulting in a complete restructuring of the agricultural and other sectors, as in the case of Bulgaria.

    The scale of such maps should be large enough to provide detailed information, however it should allow for regional assessment, statistics and subsequent planning. The 1:50 000 scale is the most suited for this exercise.
