Every six years, all EU Member States are required, under Article 12 of the EU Birds Directive, to report on the implementation of the Directive. The 11th UK Birds Directive Report was submitted to the European Commission in October 2019. This general implementation report (known as Annex A) covers metropolitan UK and Gibraltar, and complements the bird species’ status and trends reports under Annex B of the EU reporting format.
