| 13.93 (Rev. CoP14)1 |
The Animals Committee shall, immediately following
the 13th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, include the Felidae in
its Review of the Appendices. This review shall initially focus on the listing
of the Lynx species complex, which includes species that are listed
because of similarity of appearance, such as Lynx rufus. In addition
to evaluating the listings of these species against the criteria for inclusion
of species in Appendices I and II contained in Resolution Conf. 9.24
(Rev. CoP14), the Animals Committee shall assess the management and
enforcement measures available to achieve effective control of trade in
these species so as to resolve the continued need for look-alike listings.
This assessment should also include a review of trade information to determine
whether these species are actually confused in trade or whether the look-alike
problem is merely hypothetical. The Animals Committee shall provide a report
at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties on the progress of
the review of all Felidae and particularly on their review of Lynx spp.
and look-alike issues. |
