From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The EU Birds Directive applies to all member states, but individual countries can opt to derogate from some conditions - e.g. the UK has a general licence to shoot corvids and woodpigeons all year round. Can anyone tell me - with chapter and verse, if possible, please - what the situation is as regards other member countries. I gather France has ignored much of the Directive, and operates on some voluntary agreement. Do some Scandinavian countries still cull goshawks? Are any other EU states allowing shooting or live/dead trapping or translocation of any raptor species? All concrete info will be very much appreciated, as also will suggestions for up to date printed/internet sources of data.
