|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malta | 2014-01-01 | 2014-12-31 | Since it was not possible to determine beforehand the number of injured or stranded birds that would be cared for during the year, a limit was not given. | Keeping and caring for wounded birds | In view that all those birds which are restored to health are returned back into the wild, it is envisaged that this activity would not negatively impact the population. |
| Malta | 2014-01-01 | 2014-12-31 | For the activity in question, a limit was not given for the number of individuals (birds) which could be ringed. | Capture (ringing) | In view of the fact that the birds are all released back into the wild after ringing, Malta does not envisage that this activity would impact the population. |
