Résumé

These Regulations amend the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 in order to implement in Great Britain requirements contained in the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS) concluded between the European Community, the Government of Canada and the Government of the Russian Federation. The Regulations restate the existing prohibitions in section 11 of the Act (animals which may not be killed or taken by certain methods) in relation to the animals listed in Schedule 6, without substantively adding to them. They introduce a prohibition on using or setting in position any trap or snare for the purpose of killing or taking the Stoat (otherwise known as the Ermine) or the European Beaver. The European Beaver and the Stoat are protected under the Agreement together with the Badger, which is already listed in Schedule 6 to the Act as it applies to England, Wales and Scotland; and the Otter and the Pine Marten, which are already listed in Schedule 6 to the Act as it applies to England and Wales. All five species are now also listed in Schedule 6ZA (animals which may not be killed or taken by trapping or snaring).
