  Following the amendments to the Agreement adopted at the last Meeting of the Parties (MOP8, 26-30 September 2022): • the Iceland/UK & Ireland population of Greylag Goose Anser anser anser is now listed in Category 3e* of Column A of Table 1, • the North-east Europe/North-west Europe population of Taïga Bean Goose Anser fabalis fabalis is now split into three populations: -Scandinavia/Denmark and UK population listed in Category 1c of Column A of Table 1, -Finland and NW Russia/Sweden, Denmark and Germany population listed in Category 3c* of Column A of Table 1, -West Siberia/Poland and Germany population listed in Category 2 of Column A of Table 1, • the Black Sea & East Mediterranean population of Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina is now listed in Category 3e of Column A of Table 1, • the C & E Siberia/SW Asia, Eastern & Southern Africa population of Grey Plover Pluvialis squatarola squatarola is now listed in Category 3c of Column A of Table 1 and, • the SE Eur & W Asia/SW & S Asia & NE Africa population of Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus longipes is now listed in Category 3c of Column A of Table 1. These populations of species now form part of the Action Plan contained in Annex 3 to the Agreement. The European Union cannot accept the above-mentioned amendments without a prior change in EU law. The European Union would therefore like to hereby enter a reservation with respect to the five above mentioned amendments. This reservation by the European Union is also valid for those Member States of the European Union which are Parties to AEWA as, when a regional economic integration organization, such as the European Union, and its Member States are both parties to a treaty, they are not entitled to exercise rights under the treaty concurrently. This principle is reflected, with regard to voting in the Meeting of the Parties, in Article VI(5) of AEWA and also applies to the notification of reservations under Article X(6) of AEWA. With regard to the reservation in question, it is for the European Union to act since the protection of the bird species in question is covered by existing Union legislation. The Iceland/UK & Ireland population of Greylag Goose and the Finland and NW Russia/Sweden, Denmark and Germany population of the Taïga Bean Goose are now respectively listed in Categories 3e and 3c of Column A of Table 1 of Annex 3 of the Agreement with an asterisk (*). According to Annex 3, the species listed in Category 3 with an asterisk may only be hunted within the framework of an international species action plan, through which Parties will endeavour to implement the principles of adaptive harvest management. Therefore, the European Union could consider lifting the reservation regarding these populations once an adaptive harvest management mechanism under an international body, consistent with the requirements of Article 7 of the Birds Directive, is in place. Despite the reservation, the European Commission has and will continue to encourage EU Member States to ensure the sustainability of hunting and has developed an approach for bird species listed in Annex 2 of the Birds Directive which are not in a secure status which aims at supporting their recovery.

  Iceland hereby wishes to enter a reservation with respect to the inclusion of the population of Anser anser anser, Greylag goose, as listed for Iceland/UK and Ireland in Annex 3, table 1 and Column A to the Agreement. We therefore still consider this species to be placed in Column B of Table 1. The reservation can be considered as a temporary reservation while an international single species action plan and harvest management plan for the population is developed by the Range States.

  The Government of the Czech Republic makes a reservation in accordance with Article X para 6 of the above-mentioned Agreement due to impossibility to accomplish the procedure of internal approval concerning the Amendments to the Annexes 2 and 3 and to Table 1 to the Agreement, as accepted at the 8th Session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Agreement (26 - 30 September 2022, Budapest, Hungary), in the mentioned ninety days period.

  […], in accordance with Article X, paragraph 6 of the Agreement, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (“the United Kingdom”) hereby enters a reservation against the amendment to the listing in relation to the Greylag Goose (Anser anser) (Iceland/United Kingdom and Ireland) in Resolution 8.2 Adoption of the Amendments to the AEWA Annexes, adopted at the 8th Meeting of Parties. The amendment lists the Iceland/United Kingdom and Ireland population of the Greylag Goose (Anser anser) in Table 1 of Annex 3 to the Agreement as Column A Category 3(e)*. According to Annex 3, the species listed in this Category may only be hunted under the auspices of an International Species Action Plan (Action Plan). The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is working with the Government of Iceland and the Agreement Secretariat to endeavour to agree an Action Plan for the Greylag Goose, and until it is finalised the United Kingdom requires a reservation to continue to control the Greylag Goose population where it causes serious agricultural damage. It is the intention of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to consider withdrawing the reservation once an Action Plan is in place for the Greylag Goose. This reservation applies to the United Kingdom.

  I have the honour to refer to the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds concluded at The Hague on 15 August 1996, as amended at the 7th Session of the Meeting of the Parties on 4–8 December 2018 at Durban, South Africa (the “Agreement”), of which the Kingdom of The Netherlands is the depositary. I have the honour further to refer to the reservation made by the European Union to the Agreement on 22 March 2019 (the “EU reservation”). The EU reservation covered the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as a European Union member State and during the transition period provided for in the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (the “transition period”). Following the end of the transition period, I have the honour to confirm that the United Kingdom intends to continue to apply the substance of the EU reservation in respect of the United Kingdom, insofar as it applies to the Common Pochard Aythia farina only.
