Abstract: The European Union is usually described as an ''unfinished state'', which is characterized by a remarkable complexity. In this system, sectoral policies come up through spillover effects and can be distinguished through the character of a prevailing federation or a regional-dependent regime. In these terms, one can describe the EU policies and moreover the trans-sectoral environmental policy areas, which can present a special interest in policy-analysis, because of their complexity and properties. Such one is the area Forestry-Nature Conservation, which is illustrated in a properly selected case study (''Natura 2000'' program). The EU policy-making is discussed. The supranational, transnational and national interplay between forest and environmental groups as well as between them and public actors is analyzed. General hypotheses are posed about trans-sectoral networks and power factors, which allow an actor to enter a network (or not).
