    WRITTEN QUESTION E-1240/00

    by Brigitte Langenhagen (PPE-DE) to the Commission

    (14 April 2000)

    Subject: Situation of the cormorant Phalacrocorax (carbo carbo) in Directive 79/409

    The EU Directive 79/409/EEC(1) on the conservation of wild birds included the species Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis among those whose habitat is protected by Annex I. In July 1997 the Commission Directive 97/49/EEC(2) amended Annex I of the Directive 79/409/EEC and the cormorant P. Carbo sinensis was deleted from the list.

    Is the Commission planning to delete from Annex I of Directive 79/409/EEC also the cormorant P. carbo carbo?

    (1) OJ L 103, 25.4.1979, p. 1.

    (2) OJ L 223, 13.8.1997, p. 9.

    Answer given by Mrs Wallström on behalf of the Commission

    (5 June 2000)

    The sub-species of Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo carbo is not, and never was, listed in Annex I of Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds. Therefore, the question from the Honourable Member is not applicable.
