On
Tuesday, Committee I reviewed proposals on, inter alia, Musk Deer, Dugong,
the Hawksbill Turtle and sharks. Committee II discussed proposals on introduction
from the sea, caviar and micro-chips.
Committee I |
Uplisting the
Australian Dugong:
SWITZERLAND opposed the uplisting citing little evidence of illegal
trade, and questioned
the need to have the species listed under CITES at all.
|
|
|
BOLIVIA withdrew its proposal to downlist Appendix I populations of
Vicuña (Prop. 11.27). He noted that live shearing ensures sustainable
use of the specimen. Delegates adopted another proposal eliminating
the zero-quota applicable to Appendix II Vicuna species (Prop. 11.28).
|
The
US presented, as alternatives to its joint proposal to uplist the
Musk Deer (Prop. 11.29), a draft decision and resolution (Com. 11.12,
13) providing for, inter alia, trade monitoring by the Standing and
Animals Committees, Parties' efforts to reduce trade, alternatives
to musk and financial assistance to range States. The decision and
resolution were adopted. |

URIAL:
GERMANY introduced an amended proposal to list the Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Pakistan Urial sub-species on Appendix I and the
Iran, Afghanistan, and Kazakhstan sub-species on Appendices II (Prop.
11.30). The proposal was adopted after amendment. |
