Résumé
In its judgment One Voice and Ligue pour la protection des oiseaux (LPO)/Ministre de la Transition écologique et solidaire, of 17 March 2021, concerning two preliminary questions referred to it by the French Conseil d'État (Council of State), the Court of Justice of the European Union held that a Member State may not authorize the traditional method of hunting using limes practiced in France. The Court held, on the one hand, that the traditional character of this method cannot constitute an autonomous derogation from the system of protection established by the Birds Directive. The Court considered, on the other hand, that it is highly likely – having regard in particular to the irreparable harm sustained by all captured birds – that the method of hunting using limes cannot be qualified as a method of hunting on a selective basis.
