Responses to national consultations     English Nature seeks to influence the policies of key government and non-governmental players at European, national, regional and local levels across a variety of economic sectors. We have undertaken 10 Sector Analyses to identify priority actions for influencing policy change in order to deliver national nature conservation targets. English Nature policies are developed through the People and Policies Programme. Major issues are considered as Council Papers. On a number of key policy areas we have issued Position Statements which give a lead for change by indicating to external players our aspirations on an issue affecting nature conservation and clearly stating what English Nature itself will do to deliver these. The development of responses to national consultations issued by other organisations often results in further elaboration of English Nature's policy line and Executive Summaries of these together with a named contact for further information, are also available.     Date Title 27/06/2003 English Nature consultation response to the government-industry forum on non-food uses of crops consultation, on use of plantbased oils in hydraulic fluids. 27/06/2003 English Nature�s response to Ofwat�s consultation on a code of practice governing the discharge of Ofwat�s functions. 18/06/2003 Biodiversity object: English Nature�s response to ENTRUST�s consultation. 11/06/2003 Questionnaire on the review of CfIT and the Motorists� Forum: response from English Nature. 22/05/2003 Defra consultation on Biosecurity guidance for the prevention of the spread of animal diseases.
