C 226/15

According to the ORNIS committee set up by Article 16 of the
directive, ‘small numbers’ should mean an [additional] number
of less than 1 % of the annual mortality (average), determined
on the basis of an expert opinion, for those species whose
hunting is prohibited, and a number corresponding to a level
of about 1 % for those species whose hunting is permitted, in
such a way, however, that compliance with Article 9 of the
directive depends in any case on compliance with the other
points of the article. The spring hunting permitted by Finland
has exceeded by several times the number calculated on the
basis of the committee's recommendation.
