			Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (Recast) /* COM/2012/0403 final - 2012/0196 (COD) */
			
				
		
		
			
			   	EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.           On 1 April 1987 the Commission
decided[1] to instruct its staff
that all acts should be codified after no more than ten
amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement and that departments
should endeavour to codify at even shorter intervals the texts for which they
are responsible, to ensure that their provisions are clear and readily
understandable.
2.           The codification of Council
Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the
protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein[2]
has been initiated by the Commission. The new Regulation was to have superseded
the various acts incorporated in it[3].
3.           In the meantime the Lisbon Treaty
entered into force. Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union (TFEU) allows the legislator to delegate to the Commission the
power to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or
amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. Article 291 of the
TFEU allows the legislator to confer implementing powers on the Commission where
uniform conditions for implementing legally binding Union acts are needed. Acts
adopted by the Commission in accordance with those Articles are referred to in
the terminology used by the TFEU as "delegated acts" (Article 290(3))
and as "implementing acts" (Article 291(4)), respectively.
4.           Regulation (EC) No 338/97
contains provisions for which such a delegation of power or such a conferral of
implementing powers would be opportune. It is therefore appropriate to
transform the codification of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 into a recast in
order to incorporate the necessary amendments.
5.           The recast proposal was drawn up on the basis of
a preliminary consolidation, in 22 official languages, of Regulation
(EC) No 338/97 and the instruments amending it, carried out by the Publications
Office of the European Union, by means of a data-processing system.
Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old
and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex III to the recast
Regulation.

Proposal for a
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
AND OF THE COUNCIL
on the protection of species of wild fauna
and flora by regulating trade therein
(Recast)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE
COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article Ö 192(1) Õ thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the
European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative
act to the national Parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the
European Economic and Social Committee[4],
Having regard to the opinion of the
Committee of the Regions[5],
Acting in accordance with the ordinary
legislative procedure[6],
Whereas:
ò new
(1)       Council
Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of
species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein[7]
has been substantially amended several times[8]. Since further
amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.
ê 338/97 recital 1 (adapted)
ð new
(2)       The purpose of Ö this
Regulation Õ is to Ö ensure
the protection of Õ species of Ö wild Õ fauna and
flora Ö which are
threatened by Õ trade ð or likely to be so threatened ï.
ê 338/97
recital 3
(3)       The provisions of this
Regulation do not prejudice any stricter measures which may be taken or
maintained by Member States, in compliance with the Treaty, in particular with
regard to the holding of specimens of species covered by this Regulation.
ê 338/97
recital 4
(4)       It is necessary to lay
down objective criteria for the inclusion of species of wild fauna and flora in
the Annexes to this Regulation.
ê 338/97
recital 5 (adapted)
(5)       The implementation of this
Regulation necessitates the application of common conditions for the issue, use
and presentation of documents relating to the authorisation of the introduction
into the Ö Union Õ and the export
or re-export from the Ö Union Õ of specimens
of the species covered by this Regulation. It is necessary to lay down specific
provisions relating to the transit of specimens through the Ö Union Õ.
ê 338/97
recital 6 (adapted)
(6)       It is for a management
authority of the Member State of destination, assisted by the scientific
authority of that Member State and, where appropriate, taking into account any
opinion of the Scientific Review Group, to decide on the requests for introduction
of specimens into the Ö Union Õ.
ê 338/97
recital 7 (adapted)
(7)       It is necessary to Ö provide
for Õ a consultation
procedure Ö in the
framework of the provisions on re-export Õ, in order to
limit the risk of infringement.
ê 338/97
recital 8 (adapted)
(8)       In order to guarantee
effective protection of species of wild fauna and flora, additional
restrictions may be imposed on the introduction of specimens into, and the
export thereof from, the Ö Union Õ. With regard
to live specimens, these restrictions may be supplemented by restrictions at Ö Union Õ level on the
holding or movement of such specimens within the Ö Union Õ.
ê 338/97
recital 9
(9)       It is necessary to lay
down specific provisions applicable to captive-born and bred, or artificially
propagated specimens, to specimens which are personal or household effects, and
to non-commercial loans, donations or exchanges between registered scientists
and scientific institutions.
ê 338/97
recital 10 (adapted)
(10)     There is a need, in order
to ensure the broadest possible protection for species covered by this
Regulation, to lay down provisions for controlling trade and movement of
specimens within the Ö Union Õ, and the
conditions for housing specimens. The certificates issued under this
Regulation, which contribute to controlling those activities, should be
governed by common rules on their issue, validity and use.
ê 338/97
recital 11 (adapted)
(11)     Measures should be taken to
minimise the adverse effects on live specimens of transport to their
destination, from or within the Ö Union Õ.
ê 338/97
recital 12 (adapted)
(12)     To ensure effective
controls and to facilitate customs procedures, customs offices should be
designated, with trained personnel responsible for carrying out the necessary
formalities and corresponding checks where specimens are introduced into the Ö Union Õ, in order to
assign them a customs-approved treatment or use within the meaning of Council
Regulation (EEC) [No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992] establishing the
Community Customs Code[9], or where they are
exported or re-exported from the Ö Union Õ. There should
also be facilities guaranteeing that live specimens are adequately housed and
cared for.
ê 338/97
recital 13
(13)     The implementation of this
Regulation also calls for the designation of management and scientific
authorities by the Member States.
ê 338/97
recital 14
(14)     Informing the public and
making them aware of the provisions of this Regulation, particularly at border
crossing points, is likely to encourage compliance with these provisions.
ê 338/97
recital 15
(15)     In order to ensure
effective enforcement of this Regulation, Member States should closely monitor
compliance with its provisions and, to that end, cooperate closely between
themselves and with the Commission. This requires the communication of
information relating to the implementation of this Regulation.
ê 338/97
recital 16
(16)     The monitoring of levels of
trade in the species of wild fauna and flora covered by this Regulation is of
crucial importance for assessing the effects of trade on the conservation
status of species. Detailed annual reports should be drawn up in a common
format.
ê 338/97
recital 17
(17)     In order to guarantee
compliance with this Regulation, it is important that Member States impose
sanctions for infringements in a manner which is both sufficient and
appropriate to the nature and gravity of the infringement.
ê 338/97
recital 19
(18)     The multitude of biological
and ecological aspects to be considered in the implementation of this
Regulation requires the setting up of a Scientific Review Group, whose opinions
will be forwarded by the Commission to the Committee and the management bodies
of the Member States, to assist them in making their decisions.
ê 398/2009,
recital 4 (adapted)

(19)     ð In order to supplement or amend
certain non-essential elements of this Regulation, the power to adopt acts in
accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European
Union should be delegated to ï the Commission should be
empowered to adopt Ö in
respect of the adoption of Õ certain
measures regulating trade in species of wild fauna and flora, Ö of Õ certain
amendments to the Annexes to Ö this Õ Regulation and
Ö of Õ additional
measures to implement resolutions of the Conference of the Parties to the
Convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora
(CITES) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’), decisions or
recommendations of the Standing Committee of the Convention and recommendations
of the Convention Secretariat. Since those
measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements
of Regulation (EC)
No 338/97, inter alia by supplementing it with new non-essential
elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with
scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
ð It is of particular importance that
the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work,
including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up
delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate
transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the
Council. ï

Art. 1 and Annex
ANNEX I
Notes
on interpretation of Annexes A, B, C and D
1.           Species included in these Annexes
A, B, C and D are referred to:
(a)     by the name of the species; or
(b)     as being all of the species included
in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.
2.           The abbreviation “spp.” is used
to denote all species of a higher taxon.
3.           Other references to taxa higher
than species are for the purposes of information or classification only.
4.           Species printed in bold in Annex
A are listed there in consistency with their protection as provided for by
Council Directive 2009/147/EC[14] or Council
Directive 92/43/EEC[15].
5.           The following abbreviations are
used for plant taxa below the level of species:
(a)     “ssp.” is used to denote subspecies;
(b)     “var(s).” is used to denote variety
(varieties); and
(c)     “fa.” is used to denote forma.
6.           The symbols “(I)”, “(II)” and
“(III)” placed against the name of a species or higher taxon refer to the
Appendices to the Convention in which the species concerned are listed as
indicated in notes 7 to 9. Where none of these annotations appears, the species
concerned are not listed in the Appendices to the Convention.
7.           (I) against the name of a species
or higher taxon indicates that the species or higher taxon concerned is
included in Appendix I to the Convention.
8.           (II) against the name of a
species or higher taxon indicates that the species or higher taxon concerned is
included in Appendix II to the Convention.
9.           (III) against the name of a
species or higher taxon indicates that it is included in Appendix III to
the Convention. In this case the country with respect to which the species or
higher taxon is included in Appendix III is also indicated.
10.         “Cultivar” means, following the
definition of the 8th edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for
Cultivated Plants, an assemblage of plants that (a) has been selected for a
particular character or combination of characters, (b) is distinct, uniform,
and stable in these characters, and (c) when propagated by appropriate means,
retains those characters. No new taxon of a cultivar can be regarded as such
until its category name and circumscription has been formally published in the
latest edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.
11.         Hybrids may be specifically
included in the Appendices but only if they form distinct and stable
populations in the wild. Hybrid animals that have in their previous four
generations of the lineage one or more specimens of species included in
Annexes A or B shall be subject to the provisions of this Regulation
just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not
specifically included in the Annexes.
12.         When a species is included in
Annex A, B or C, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in
the same Annex unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific
parts and derivatives are included. In accordance with Article 2(t) of
this Regulation, the symbol “#” followed by a number placed against the name of
a species or higher taxon included in Annex B or C designates parts or
derivatives which are specified in relation thereto for the purposes of the
Regulation as follows:
 #1 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds, spores and pollen (including pollinia); (b)          seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers; (c)          cut flowers of artificially propagated plants; and (d)          fruits and parts and derivatives thereof of artificially propagated plants of the genus Vanilla. 
 #2 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds and pollen; and (b)          finished products packaged and ready for retail trade. 
 #3 || Designates whole and sliced roots and parts of roots. 
 #4 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds (including seedpods of Orchidaceae), spores and pollen (including pollinia). The exemption does not apply to seeds from Cactaceae spp. exported from Mexico, and to seeds from Beccariophoenix madagascariensis and Neodypsis decaryi exported from Madagascar; (b)          seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers; (c)          cut flowers of artificially propagated plants; (d)          fruits and parts and derivatives thereof of naturalized or artificially propagated plants of the genus Vanilla (Orchidaceae) and of the family Cactaceae; (e)          stems, flowers, and parts and derivatives thereof of naturalized or artificially propagated plants of the genera Opuntia subgenus Opuntia and Selenicereus (Cactaceae); and (f)           finished products of Euphorbia antisyphilitica packaged and ready for retail trade. 
 #5 || Designates logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets. 
 #6 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets and plywood. 
 #7 || Designates logs, wood-chips, powder and extracts. 
 #8 || Designates underground parts (i.e. roots, rhizomes): whole, parts and powdered. 
 #9 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except those bearing a label “Produced from Hoodia spp. material obtained through controlled harvesting and production in collaboration with the CITES Management Authorities of Botswana/Namibia/South Africa under agreement no. BW/NA/ZA xxxxxx”. 
 #10 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, including unfinished wood articles used for the fabrication of bows for stringed musical instruments. 
 #11 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, plywood, powder and extracts. 
 #12 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, plywood and essential oil, excluding finished products packaged and ready for retail trade. 
 #13 || Designates the kernel (also known as “endosperm”, “pulp” or “copra”) and any derivative thereof. 
13.         As none of the species or higher
taxa of FLORA included in Annex A is annotated to the effect that its hybrids
shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.1 of the
Regulation, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one
or more of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial
propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut flowers,
seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media,
transported in sterile containers of these hybrids are not subject to the
provisions of the Regulation.
14.         Urine, faeces and ambergris which
are waste products and gained without the manipulation of the animal concerned
are not subject to the provisions of the Regulation.
15.         In
respect of fauna species listed in Annex D, the provisions shall apply only to
live specimens and whole, or substantially whole, dead specimens except for
taxa which are annotated as follows to show that other parts and derivatives
are also covered:
 § 1 || Any whole, or substantially whole, skins, raw or tanned. 
 § 2 || Any feathers or any skin or other part with feathers on it. 
16.         In respect of flora species listed
in Annex D, the provisions shall apply only to live specimens except for taxa
which are annotated as follows to show that other parts and derivatives are
also covered:
 § 3 || Dried and fresh plants, including, where appropriate; leaves, roots/rootstock, stems, seeds/spores, bark and fruits. 
 § 4 || Logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets.

[30]             Artificially propagated hybrids of Cymbidium,
Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis and Vanda are not subject to the provisions of this
Regulation, when specimens are readily recognizable as artificially propagated
and do not show any signs of having been collected in the wild such as
mechanical damage or strong dehydration resulting from collection, irregular
growth and heterogeneous size and shape within a taxon and shipment, algae or
other epiphyllous organisms adhering to leaves, or damage by insects or other
pests; and         
(a) when shipped in non flowering state, the specimens
must be traded in shipments consisting of individual containers (such as cartons,
boxes, crates or individual shelves of CC-containers) each containing 20 or
more plants of the same hybrid; the plants within each container must exhibit a
high degree of uniformity and healthiness; and the shipment must be accompanied
by documentation, such as an invoice, which clearly states the number of plants
of each hybrid; or       
(b) when shipped in flowering state, with at least one
fully open flower per specimen, no minimum number of specimens per shipment is
required but specimens must be professionally processed for commercial retail
sale, e.g. labelled with printed labels or packaged with printed packages
indicating the name of the hybrid and the country of final processing. This
should be clearly visible and allow easy verification.   
Plants not clearly qualifying
for the exemption must be accompanied by appropriate CITES documents.
[31]             Artificially propagated
specimens of cultivars of Cyclamen persicum are not subject to the
