After consulting the European Union Eco-labelling Board,
Whereas:
(1) The ecological criteria set out in the Commission Decision 2001/405/EC of 4 May 2001 establishing the ecological criteria for the award of the Community eco-label to tissue paper products (2) expires on 4 May 2008.

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189c of the Treaty,
Whereas Annex II to Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds  (3) should be amended to take account of the latest knowledge on the situation of avifauna;
Whereas several Member States have asked the Commission to amend Annex II/2 to include certain  species which hitherto could not legally be hunted;
Whereas Article 7 (4) of the same Directive requires Member States to ensure that the practice of  hunting complies with the principles of wise use and ecologically balanced control of the species  of birds concerned;
Whereas owing to their geographical distribution and population levels in some countries certain  species may be hunted or controlled locally with the result that certain requests for additions to  Annex II/2 can be approved;
Whereas the species Limosa limosa, Limosa lapponica and Numenius arquata should be removed from  Annex II/2 in respect of Italy in order to protect the globally endangered species Numenius  tenuirostis which they resemble so closely in their habits as much as in their appearance that  there are exceptional risks of confusion;
Whereas permitting the hunting of the species listed in Annex II/2 is merely an option of which the  Member States may or may not avail themselves; whereas, therefore, they are not required to take  measures to do so and, if they do so decide, they may do so even after the date laid down for the  application of this Directive,
The text of the Annex to this Directive shall be substituted for that  of Annex II/2 to Directive 79/409/EEC.
The Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative  provisions necessary for them to comply with this Directive by 30 September 1995.
When Member States adopt those provisions they shall include references to this Directive or  accompany them with such references on their official publication. The Member States shall lay down  the manner in which such references shall be made.
This Directive is addressed to the Member States.
