Objections contained in a letter from the Department of the Environment, dated 25 February 1988, registered at the Secretariat General on 29 February 1988 - Or. Engl.
1. The United Kingdom Government has been giving further careful consideration to the decision to amend Appendices II and III of the Bern Convention taken by the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee on 8 - 11 December 1987. Most of the proposed amendments are acceptable to the United Kingdom. However, two of the species of invertebrates proposed for inclusion in Appendix II are not afforded protection under our domestic legislation. These are Coenagrion mercuriale, Euphydras aurinia.
2. Neither of the species meets our criteria for inclusion under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as both are quite widespread throughout Great Britain and are therefore considered inappropriate for inclusion among our strictly protected species.
3. Consequently, and in accordance with Article 17 paragraph 3 of the Convention, I am by means of this letter lodging a formal objection on behalf of the United Kingdom Government to the inclusion in Appendix II of the two species listed above.
