COMMISSION NOTICE Guidelines providing a common understanding of the term ‘environmental damage’ as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2004/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage · European Union

| 88. | So far as bird species are concerned, the species covered by the definition presented in Box 5 above are those referred to in Article 4(2) or listed in Annex I of the Birds Directive. Article 4(2) of the Birds Directive refers to regularly occurring migratory species, and Annex I of the Birds Directive lists certain other bird species. Taken together, these represent a sub-set of the European avifauna (106). The ‘protected species’ definition does not apply to bird species which are absent from Annex I of the Birds Directive and which are not regularly occurring migratory species – unless they are added by a Member State.
