Founding countries of the EU classified it in IV. That was easy too, because these countries were Nearly wolf-free. Countries that later joined the EU negotiated inclusion in Appendix V, precisely because wolves were already present there. Animals are protected in Appendix V, but legal hunting can be carried out under certain conditions. The Baltic states the wolf hunted as an Annex V species, for example, not in Poland. How the protection status is completed is a matter of the country. " (Ilka Reinhardt).
