Slide 3 - 3 According to preamble: adopted for the protection of species of wild birds declining in numbers; serious threat to the natural environment constituting a common heritage trans-frontier problem; common responsibilities European conservation regime Adoption (2)
Slide 4 - 4 Scope and ratio legis Protection of habitats - general measures and SPAs Protection of species/specimen - general prohibitions - marketing, hunting, derogations Miscellaneous Preamble Articles 1-2 Articles 3-4 Articles 5-9 Articles 10-20 Annexes I-VII Structure
Slide 5 - 5 Article 1: Scope of Application “all species of naturally occurring birds in the wild state” birds, eggs, nests and habitats does not apply to specimens born and bred in captivity “in the European territory of Member States to which the Treaty applies” applies to exclusive economic zone, continental shelf Greenland excluded
Slide 6 - 6 Articles 2 and 3: General principles maintain/adapt populations of species at level corresponding with ecological, scientific, cultural requirements while taking into account economic and recreational requirements former have precedence over latter latter cannot be invoked as an additional derogation from protection (C- 247/85; C-262/85)
Slide 7 - 7 preserve, maintain, re-establish sufficient diversity and area of habitats for species obligation exists before any reduction in numbers or risk of extinction materialises (C-355/90) Articles 2 and 3: General principles (2)
Slide 8 - 8 Article 4: Special conservation measures species listed in Annex I and regularly occurring migratory species legal protection regime providing sufficient protection of habitats to ensure the survival and reproduction of species classify most suitable territories as special protection areas (SPAs), inform the Commission objective, ornithological designation criteria; limited discretion (e.g. C-355/90)
Slide 9 - 9 Article 4 (2) legal implications of designation as SPA replaced by Article 6 of the Habitats Directive: avoid deterioration of habitats and significant disturbance of species assessment of plans/projects
Slide 10 - 10 designation obligation and procedure not amended more lenient provisions regarding designation of an area under the Habitats Directive do not remove corresponding obligation under the Birds Directive obligations outside SPAs not replaced: strive to avoid pollution or deterioration of habitats Article 4 (3)
Slide 11 - 11 Article 5: General protection prohibitions regarding species/specimens against: deliberate killing, capture, detention deliberate destruction, damaging, collection of nests and eggs deliberate significant disturbance, particularly during breeding and rearing season slight overlap with protection of habitats unlike habitat protection, no exception available for reasons of overriding public interest exceptions under Art. 7 and 9
Slide 12 - 12 Article 6: Marketing additional prohibitions against sale and related activities of live or dead birds or parts/derivates exceptions: trade in Annex III/A species permitted Member States may further authorise trade in Annex III/B species after consulting the Commission providing the birds have been legally killed, captured or acquired harmonisation of trade in game birds sets limits for the Member States’ right to adopt more stringent national protection (C-169/89)
Slide 13 - 13 Articles 7: Hunting Preamble: where compatible with protection, hunting constitutes acceptable exploitation species in Annex II may be hunted under national legislation Annex II/A: in all Member States Annex II/B: only in indicated Member States hunting of species may not jeopardise conservation efforts in their distribution area Member States must ensure that the practice of hunting complies with the principles of wise use and ecologically balanced control of concerned species
Slide 14 - 14 Article 7 (2) hunting must be prohibited during rearing season and various stages of reproduction; migratory species: period of reproduction and during return to rearing grounds designed to secure complete system of protection in periods during which the survival of wild birds is particularly under threat (e.g. C-157/89, C-38/99) single closing date for hunting according to the species earliest to migrate: satisfies requirement staggering closing dates: MS must adduce case-specific evidence that this does not impede the complete protection of species liable to be affected (C-435/92)
Slide 15 - 15 Article 8: Hunting methods prohibited hunting means, arrangements and methods: large-scale or non-selective or capable of causing the local disappearance of a species in particular methods listed in Annex IV(a) any hunting from modes of transport listed in Annex IV(b)
