Restoration of wetlands refers to economic activities that promote a return to original conditions of wetlands and economic activities that improve wetland functions without necessarily promoting a return to pre-disturbance conditions, with wetlands meaning land matching the international definition of wetland(64) or of peatland(65) as set out in the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat (Ramsar Convention)(66). The concerned area matches the Union definition of wetlands, as provided in the Commission Communication on the wise use and conservation of wetlands(67).
The economic activities in this category have no dedicated NACE code as referred to in the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006, but relate to class 6 of the statistical classification of environmental protection activities (CEPA) established by Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council(68).
