Résumé :	The Curlew Numenius arquata is listed on Annex II/2 of the EU Birds Directive as a species for which hunting can be permitted in Denmark, France, Ireland and UK. Since 1994 there have only been open seasons for Curlew in France, Ireland and the UK (Northern Ireland). Curlew is a relatively abundant but declining wader species. It has been identified as having unfavourable conservation status within Europe, where its global population is also concentrated (more than 75% of the global population breeds in northern Europe). It is thus a Category 2 Species of European Conservation Concern (SPEC). It is classified as “Declining” due to its moderate continuing population decline both in Europe as a whole and in EU25 which holds 61-73% of the European breeding population. 420,000 birds are thought to winter in EU. Changes in land-use, agricultural practices and nest predation are considered the most significant causes responsible for the decline of Curlew in the EU. Such habitat loss and modification has suppressed breeding success and thereby lead to population decline. Human disturbance on breeding and wintering areas is believed to be of secondary importance. Hunting is not considered to be a major cause for the decline in the EU but the shooting that takes place in France, where most Curlew are taken, may have consequences for those segments of the populations that pass through. This Management Plan presents a framework for the restoration of Curlew populations in EU and its habitats. It is aimed at all Member States with breeding, staging or wintering populations. It is the responsibility of the relevant authorities of each Member State to decide how to implement the management prescriptions of this plan. The plan should be followed by new versions with revised objectives that take into account the results achieved during the first phase.
