Subject : Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC ) on the implementation in the
           Community of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
           Species of Wild Fauna and Flora .
Throughout the world a large number of species of wild fauna and flora
are threatened with extinction . Other species , although not directly-
threatened, could he endangered as a result of over-exploit at ion t
large-scale destruction of their habitats or other disturbances of the
environment •
An effective way of protecting some of these species is to restrict
and to subject to strict control the international trade in animals
and plants belonging to these species and in the products derived
therefrom .
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
Fauna and Flora meets this objective .
This Convention arises from a recommendation^ by the Stockholm
Conference on the Environment (June 1972) which called on the
participants to conclude a convention as soon as possible on the
export , import and transit of certain species of wild fauna and
flora. It was drawn up in Washington in March 1973 and came into
foroe on 1 July 1975 •
So far, 59 States have acceded to the Convention .
All the Member States of the European Communities are signatories .
Denmark , the Federal Republic of Germany, France , Italy and the United
Kingdom have ratified the Convention and adopted national
implementing provisions laying down customs procedures .
Under the Convention, trade ( for the purposes of the Convention
"export , re-export , import and introduction from the sea") in the
endangered species of wild fauna and flora contained in the
Appendices is subject to the issue of permits or certificates by
the contracting parties . The Convention provides for the
appointment of competent management authorities to issue these
documents .
According to the extent of the threat , the endangered species are in­
 cluded in Appendices I , II and III to the Convention . Trade in the
endangered species included in Appendix I is subject to particularly
 strict rules .
  Recommendation 99*3 of the Stockholm Conference on the Environment
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 2 -
The provisions concerning trade in specimens of     the species included
in Appendices II and III permit careful use of living natural
resources . Appendix II contains all species which , although not
necessarily now threatened with extinction may become so unless trade
in specimens of such species is subject to strict regulation in order
to avoid utilisation incompatible with their survival . The same
Appendix also includes a number of species which must be subject to
regulation in order that trade in specimens of certain species may
be brought under effective control . Appendix III contains the main
species threatened by illegal exploitation within the territories of
the contracting parties mentioned and in respect of which the cooper­
ation of the other parties to the Convention is required to control
the trade . '
To make it possible for the Member States of the Community to
implement the Convention, Article XIV(3 ) states that the provisions
of the Convention should not affect the obligations deriving from
any treaty concluded between States creating a union
     establishing a common external customs control and removing
 customs control between the parties thereto insofar as they relate
 to trade among the States members of that union .
In addition , on 14 March 1977 the Council adopted negotiating
directives to permit the Community to accede to the Convention .
In accordance with this Decision , the Commission has examined the
most appropriate procedures for Community accession with the
Secretariat of the Convention and will present a proposal to the
Council in due course .
 It should be noted that , to protect species , the Convention employs
commercial policy instruments such as prohibitions , restrictions or
 controls in respect of the import and export of the goods in
question . Implementation of the Convention thus comes to a very
great extent within the competence of the Community by virtue of
Article 113 of the EEC Treaty. As a result , the Member States
 cannot completely commit themselves to everything covered by the
 Convention and the Community must also become a contracting party and
 participate in administering the agreement . By approving the European
 Community 's environmental action programme for 1977-81 » the Council
has recognized this state of affairs .
For the abovementioned reasons , the European Community must adopt
 appropriate measures for implementing the provisions of the
 Convention and for prohibiting trade in specimens in violation of
 these provisions .  A common trade authorization procedure and a common
 customs control    at    the Community 's external frontiers should
therefore be set up to ensure that the operation of the common market
 is not disturbed .  The customs controls must also be reinforced by
 regulating the conditions for trade in specimens in species contained
 in Appendix I to the Convention .

As several Member States intend to impose a complete ban on imports of
certain products derived from cetaceans in order to prevent exploitation
incompatible with the survival of these species , the Commission considers
it appropriate that the most important whale products are , at the time
of introduction into the Community , to be considered as specimens of the
species contained in Appendix I to the Convention . This means in part­
icular that the management authorities of the Member States should not
issue import permits or permits for introduction from the sea gnt i I. they
have ascertained that the products in question will not be used for com­
mercial purposes . This measure fits in with the proposal for a Council
Regulation on a common system applying to import of whale . products
which the Commission submitted to the Council on 29 April 1980 .
                                *    *    X
The Commission therefore proposes that the Council adopt the attached
proposal for a Regulation .

 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 HAVING REGARD to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
 and in particular Article 113 thereof ,
 HAVING REGARD to the proposal from the Commission ,
 HAVING REGARD to the Opinion of the European Parliament ,
 HAVING REGARD to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee /
 Whereas a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild
 Fauna and Flora was opened for signature on 3 March 1973 ; whereas this
 Convention is intended to protect endangered species of wild fauna and flora
 by regulating international trade in these species and in readily recogniz­
 able parts and derivatives thereof ;
 Whereas this Convention has been signed by all Member States and entered
 into force on 1 July 1975 ; whereas five Member States have already
 ratified the Convention and ratification procedures are in progress in
 the other Member States ; whereas the Member States which have ratified
the Convention have adopted implementing provisions ;
 Whereas on 14 March 1977 the Council authorized the Commission to enter
 into negotiations for the Community to accede to the Convention on Intern­
 ational Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora ;
 Whereas the Council Resolution of 17 May 1977 on the continuation and
 implementation of a European Community policy and action programme on the
              1
 environment stresses that the protection of wild fauna and flora is a
 matter for the Community as a whole and that implementation of the Convent­
 ion on International Tradein Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
 is an important measure for protecting these species ;
   OJ C 139 , 13.6.1977 , p. 1
 ---pagebreak---                                      - 2 -
 Whereas , to attain its objectives , this Convention mainly employs commercial
 policy instruments by Laying down restrictions and a strict control of intern­
 ational trade in specimens of endangered species of wild fauna and flora ;
 Whereas the measures relating to the application      of the Convention to
 trade must not affect the free movement of products within the Community and,
 as a result , these measures should apply only to trade with third
 countries ;
 Whereas the existence of non–harmoni zed national implementing tneasures
 implies a risk that distortions of competition within the Community could
ari se ;                  '        ,
Whereas the Convention concerns animals and plants , whether living or dead ,
and readily recognizable parts and derivatives thereof ; whereas , to make
the application of the Convention effective , a common list of the most
important parts and derivatives must be drawn up and the conditions under
which other goods fall within the scope of this Regulation must be laid
down ,
Whereas knowledge on the state of conservation of most cetaceans is in­
adequate ; whereas for the protection of cetaceans stricter measures should
be taken than those provided for in the Convention ;
Whereas , in order to apply the Convention, the introduction of a Community
procedure for the issue and presentation of permits is required for the
export , re-export , import and introduction from the sea of specimens of the
species listed in the Appendices to the Convention ;
Whereas , to ensure that the prohibition of importation is fully effective ,
rules should be drawn up concerning the conditions of trade in specimens
cf the species shown in Appendix I to the Convention ;
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 3 -
Whereas the Member States must designate management and scientific authorities
and , where appropriate ,     other competent authorities , and define their
duties and powers ; whereas permits must be issued in accordance with
standard conditions in order to obviate intra-Community controls ;
Whereas , to simplify administrative formalities , the permits must conform
to a standard model and serve as a basis for recording trade statistics
for the purposes of the Convention ; whereas , to make the statistics complete ,
it is essential that administrative cooperation should be ensured between
the Member States and the Commission and that the Community permits should
contain the requisite particulars ;
                                                               '
Whereas , to facilitate both the issue of export and re-export permits and the
control procedure ,    the competent authorities of the Member States , at the
request of the interested party, accompanied by supporting documents , should
issue standard certificates stating that a given specimen     entered the
territory covered by this Regulation in accordance with the provisions of
the Convention before the entry into force of the Regulation or was acquired
before the provisions of the Convention applied to that specimen or that a
specimen was bred in captivity or artificially propagated ;
Whereas certain imported specimens sent to another Member State must arrive
at a prescribed destination ;
                     .                        .                          .
Whereas it is necessary to provide for exemptions from the obligation to
present a trading permit to the customs service in specific cases ;
Whereas , to facilitate customs procedures , there must be provision to
permit Member States to designate one or more places of entry and exit
where the goods in question must be presented ;
Whereas the marks , seals and stamps used to identify goods must conform
to standard models in order to facilitate controls ;
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas the reports required by the Convention must cover the entire Com­
munity and must therefore be transmitted to the Secretariat of the Convention
by the Commission ;
Whereas the conservation of endangered species still raises problems calling
for scientific activity and whereas this activity must also permit assess­
ment of the measures taken ; whereas methods must also be developed for
monitoring trade in certain parts and derivatives obtained from these species
Whereas it is essential to ensure the uniform application of the provisions
of this Regulation and to introduce to this end a Community procedure for
adopting the necessary implementing provisions within a suitable period ;
whereas a committee on .this subject must be set up to permit close and effect
ive cooperation between the Member States and the Commission-

 (*) Text as per 4 February 1977 . At the second meeting of the Conference
       of the Parties Recommendation Gonf . 2.18 concerning parts and
       derivatives of animal species listed in Appendix III and of plant
       species listed in Appendices II and III was adopted . This recommend­
       ation envisages amongst others " that (        ) a footnote be added
       to Appendix III for animals and to Appendices II and III for plants
       stating that all readily recognisable parts and derivatives of listed
       taxa be regulated unless particular parts and derivatives are
       specified , in which case the specified parts and derivatives shall
       be exempt ". The Commission is of opinion that such a footnote
       constitutes an amendment , which , as far as Appendix II is concerned ,
       should not be adopted but in accordance with the provisions of
       Article XV of the Convention . It should be observed that at the
       time of adoption of the recommendation several delegations emphasized
       the legal problems involved in the implementation of it ( see pages
       131/132 of the proceedings of the second meeting of the Conference
       of the Parties ) .
