In addition to a biotopes deserving protection as specified in paragraph 3, the following criteria are particularly decisive in evaluating the biotopes when competing interests are being weighed up:

a.
its importance for the protected, threatened and rare animal and plant species;
b.
its role in preserving the ecological balance;
