Species Conservation. Legal measures 2.1 Has a national policy/strategy or legislation to protect and conserve species covered by the Agreement (Table 1: column A; column B) and their support- ing important areas been developed? In Germany, waterbird conservation is centrally integrated within general conservation for natural assets and biodiversity (Arts. 1 and 2 Federal Nature Conservation Act - BNatSchG): "The natural and historically grown variety of wild fauna ... shall be conserved since they are a part of the balance of nature". This includes comprehensive legislation – standardisation of which is planned in the form of an environmental code – and a range of special species con- servation projects. The Länder are responsible for such conservation, and they carry out most of the relevant specific nature conservation work. The Federal Government takes action in its capacity as an issuer of framework legislation. All of the AEWA species are protected by the EU Bird Directive (79/409/EEC). Germany's most important national strategy for protecting waterbirds is to implement this directive in conjunction with the Fauna, Flora and Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the AEWA. a. What are the main features of the policy/legislation? b. Which organisations are responsible for implementation? c. How does it relate to other national initiatives (e.g. national Biodiversity Action Plans)? 2.2 What legal measures or practices has your country developed to prohibit or regulate for the following (refer also to section 4 on hunting)? a. Taking of, and trade in birds listed in Column A and B of Table 1 (where utilisa- tion or trade contravenes the provisions set out in paragraphs 2.1.1 (a) and 2.1.2 of the Action Plan)? Table 1: Species that are listed in Annex A of the EU Wildlife Trade Regulation and thus are strictly protected in Germany pursuant to the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG), and for which obligations pursuant to AEWA apply. Scientific name German Name Scientific name German Name Scientific name German Name Appendix b. Methods of taking? c. Setting of taking limits and monitoring these limits? d. Sustainable hunting of species listed in Categories 2 and 3 (and marked by an as- terisk) in Column A only? e. Exemptions to the provisions set out in paragraphs 2.1.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3?

It is harmonized with EU directives and relevant international conventions. b. Which organisations are responsible for implementation? The responsible organisation is MEPPP. c. How does it relate to other national initiatives (e.g. national Biodiversity Action Plans)?
