I denne henseende skal det pointeres, at EU anvender langt mere restriktive bestemmelser end selve konventionen, idet man anvender forsigtighedsprincippet for at bevare biodiversiteten eller om nødvendigt reducere tabet heraf.
In this respect, it should be pointed out that the European Union applies much more restrictive regulations than the Convention itself, using the principle of precaution in order to maintain or, if necessary, reduce the loss of biodiversity.
