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.
