We will communicate our final position on this matter in a few months.
Period covered: 11/3/1988 -
The preceding statement concerns Article(s): 17
Objection contained in a letter from the Directorate for Nature Management of 9 April 1991, registered at the Secretariat General on 11 April 1991 - Or. Engl.
Norway is not going to notify any objection with respect to the inclusion of additional higher plants (ferns and flowering plants) to Appendix I to the Convention.
The Directorate for Nature Management will however, on behalf of the Norwegian Government, hereby notify a partial objection with respect to the inclusion of Bryophytes in Appendix I. The objection only applies to the obligations in Article 5, that is:
"Each Contracting Party shall take appropriate and necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure the special protection of wild flora species specified in Appendix I. Deliberate picking, collecting, cutting or uprooting of such plants shall be prohibited. Each Contracting Party shall, as appropriate, prohibit the possession or sale of these species."
The objection does not cover obligations contained in other Articles of the Convention, such as the obligations following from Article 4, paragraph 1: "Each Contracting Party shall take appropriate and necessary legislative and administrative measures to ensure the conservation of the habitats of the wild flora and fauna species, especially those specified in the Appendices I and II, and the conservation of endangered natural habitats".
In other words, Norway does not object to ensuring habitats of the Bryophyte species included in Appendix I. However, we do not at the present stage intend to adopt legislative species protection measures for these plants.
The objection applies to all Bryophyte species added to Appendix I. According to our present knowledge the following species are registered in Norway:
Scapania massalongi, Atractylocarpus alpinus, Buxbaumia viridis, Cynodontium suecicum, Dicranum viride, Drepanocladus vernicosus, Meesia longiseta and Orthotrichum rogeri.

Objection contained in a letter from the Directorate for Nature Management of 6 March 1997, registered at the Secretariat General on 13 March 1997 - Or. Engl.
At its 16th meeting in Strasbourg, 2 - 6 December 1996, the Standing Committee of the Bern Convention adopted several amendments to the Appendices of the Convention. The decision implies including a number of species for Appendix I, i.e. strictly protected plant species, Appendix II, i.e. strictly protected fauna species, and III, i.e. protected fauna species.
On behalf on the Norwegian Government the Directorate for Nature Management would like to notify an objection to the inclusion of the plant species Rheum rhaponticum L. in Appendix I of the Convention. The reason why Norway has come to this conclusion is that Rheum rhaponticum L has been introduced to Norway, and that its inclusion in Appendix I from our point of view, comes into conflict with the objectives of Article 11-2b of the Convention, which call for the strict control of non-native species. According to our present state of knowledge Rheum rhaponticum L has been used as an ornamental and medicinal plant, and is thought to originate from Middle Asia. Finally, however, we would like to inform you that our objection does not imply that Norway at present have any intentions of changing her management practice concerning this species.
Interpretation with regard to listing of marine species - geographical coverage
Concerning the adopted list of marine species for the inclusion in Appendices II and III, Norway understands that these listings only apply to the geographical area of the Mediterranean Sea, as it is ref
