Book (series)Report of the Expert Consultation on Implementation Issues Associated with Listing Commercially-Exploited Aquatic Species on CITES Appendices. Rome, Italy, 25-28 May 2004 2004The Expert Consultation on Implementation Issues Associated with Listing Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species on CITES Appendices was held at FAO Headquarters from 25 to 28 May 2004. It was held in response to the agreement by the Twenty-fifth Session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) that an Expert Consultation should be convened to address the following issues, related to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES): „X CITES Article II Fundamental Principles, Paragraph 2(b), the 'look-alike' clause; „X Annex 3 of CITES Resolution Conf. 9.24 Criteria for Amendment of Appendices I and II, which deals with split-listing; and aquaculture issues as a group, noting the inter-relationships in these topics. „X Administrative and monitoring implications of listing and down-listing, including the implications of Annex 4 of Res. Conf. 9.24 for this. It was agreed that this should also include an analysis of the socio-economic im pact of listing on sturgeon, queen conch and a number of hypothetical listing proposals. The meeting was attended by 11 experts from 10 countries, with expertise covering the terms of reference for the Consultation, and by a member of the CITES Secretariat. After extensive discussions, the Consultation agreed on a number of key recommendations. Amongst these were that States needed to improve communication and co-ordination between their national governmental agencies responsible for CITES implementation and those responsible for natural resource management, including fisheries. Attention was drawn to the concern of many FAO members that a sufficiently responsive and flexible mechanism for listing and de-listing is required in CITES. It was suggested that FAO could raise this concern with CITES, taking into consideration the nature of safeguard mechanisms for down-listing commercially-exploited aquatic species and the manner in which they might be applied. The Consultation discussed the approaches used within CITES to assist Customs and others in identifying specimens and species. It raised the need to examine alternative approaches that would effectively address enforcement and identification issues in a manner that would avoid unnecessary listing of look-alike species. Similarly there was examination of the potential problems for fisheries if there was inflexible adherence by CITES Parties to the guidance on split-listing. The nature and implications of CITES pe rmitting procedures for aquaculture systems were examined. The Consultation examined some case studies of commercially-exploited aquatic species that were on a CITES Appendix but these did not provide sufficient information on the costs and benefits of a CITES listing. It was recommended that further work on this was required. The Consultation raised the need for capacity-building to assist States to meet their obligations under CITES. Attention was drawn to the fact that implementation o f the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the associated international plans of action should help to reduce the incidence of listing proposals for commercially-exploited aquatic species.

Book (series)Report of Expert Consultation on Legal issues Related to CITES and Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species. Rome, 22-25 June 2004 2004This document contains the report of the Expert Consultation on Legal Issues Related to CITES and Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species. The Consultation was held in Rome, Italy, from 22 to 25 June 2004 in response to the agreement by the twenty-fifth session of the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) that an expert consultation should be convened to address the two issues, related to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The issues concerned primarily: (i) applications of the phrase “introduction from the sea” in the definition of trade in article I of the CITES Convention text; and; (ii) an analysis of the legal implications of the existing CITES listing criteria and the CITES Convention itself in relation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (“the 1982 Convention”) and related international law covering fisheries. A number of working documents, inter alia, two papers prepared by an FAO Legal Consultant, Prof. E. Franckx, se rved as primary sources of references for the work of the Expert Group. While recognizing a divergence of views on the respective roles of the different bodies, the Consultation agreed that it was necessary to look for synergies between FAO, regional fishery management organizations (RFMOs) and CITES with complementary mandates with respect to commercially-exploited aquatic species. It further considered it important to look at the general relationship between CITES, the 1982 Convention and rela ted international law covering fisheries before considering the more specific legal implications of the application of CITES in relation to commercially-exploited aquatic species including “introduction from the sea”. For purposes of clarifying the latter phrase it elaborated firstly on the term “introduction” and secondly on the term “from the sea”. While dealing with the legal issues arising from the Criteria and CITES Listing Proposals, the experts acknowledged the potential flexibility of CI TES and considered also the relationship between CITES and the 1982 Convention, the relationship between CITES and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, the legal aspects of the Look-Alike and Split-Listing Provisions as well as the relationship between CITES and regional fisheries management organizations. The Expert Consultation agreed on the list of recommendations that draws attention to actions that it considered would lead to improvements in the legal interpretation and implem entation of CITES in relation to commercially-exploited aquatic species. The recommendations emphasize close consultation between FAO and CITES to address the issues and possible actions discussed among the experts. The Expert Consultation invited FAO to consider this list and possible follow-up action where appropriate.

Book (series)Rapport de la Consultation d’experts sur les questions de mise en oeuvre liées à l’inscription d’espèces aquatiques faisant l’objet d’une exploitation commerciale sur les listes jointes à la CITES sous forme d’annexes. Rome, 25-28 mai 2004. 2004La Consultation d’experts sur les questions de mise en oeuvre liées à l’inscription d’espèces aquatiques faisant l’objet d’une exploitation commerciale sur les listes jointes à la CITES sous forme d’annexes s’est tenue au siège de la FAO du 25 au 28 mai 2004. Elle a été organisée pour donner suite à la recommandation formulée par le Comité des pêches de la FAO à sa vingt-cinquième session tendant à ce qu’une consultation d’experts soit organisée pour traiter des questions suivantes lié es à la mise en oeuvre de la Convention sur le commerce international des espèces de faune et de flore sauvages menacées d’extinction (CITES): (i) Article II de la CITES, Principes fondamentaux, paragraphe 2 b), clause des «espèces semblables»; (ii) Annexe 3 de la Résolution Conf. 9.24 de la CITES, Critères pour l’amendement des Annexes I et II, qui concerne les inscriptions scindées; et l’ensemble des questions se rapportant à l’aquaculture, en notant les relations entre celles-ci; (i ii) Implications de l’inscription sur les listes et de l’élimination des listes, pour l’administration et le suivi, y compris implications de l’Annexe 4 de la Résolution Conf. 9.24. Il a été convenu qu’il faudrait également examiner les incidences socioéconomiques de l'inscription sur les listes de l'esturgeon, du strombe rose et d'un certain nombre d'autres propositions d'inscription sur les listes. Après un long débat, la Consultation est convenue d’un certain nombre de recommandatio ns importantes, entre autres, que les Etats devaient améliorer les communications et la coordination entre leurs organes nationaux chargés de la mise en application de la CITES et les organes responsables de la gestion des ressources naturelles, dont les pêches. Elle a appelé l’attention sur les préoccupations exprimées par de nombreux Membres de la FAO, qui souhaitent que la CITES dispose d’un mécanisme suffisamment souple et réactif pour l’inscription sur les listes et l’éliminatio n des listes; sur la nécessité d’approches permettant d’éviter les problèmes potentiels liés à l’application de la clause des espèces semblables et au refus pur et simple des inscriptions scindées; sur l’aquaculture et la CITES; sur les incidences socioéconomiques d’une inscription sur les listes de la CITES; et sur d’autres questions.
