Endangered Falcons

EDM number 823 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 30/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Animals, Europe and Wildlife.

That this House notes with concern the massacre of nearly 50 falcons illegally by hunters in Cyprus; further notes that red-footed falcons have recently been reclassified from vulnerable to globally-threatened; recognises that Cyprus is in the middle of one of the main migration routes for birds heading for the African warmth during the winter; calls on the European Commission to exert its authority; and further calls on the Greek-Cypriot government to ensure that a ban on shooting endangered species is enforced rigorously.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
