Ranching and trade in ranched specimens of species
transferred from Appendix I to Appendix II
| Directed to the Animals Committee | ||||
| 15.51 | The Animals Committee shall: | |||
| a) | evaluate the merit of reinstating the ability to transfer suitably qualified populations that continue to meet the criteria in Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15) Annex 1 from Appendix I to Appendix II pursuant to Resolution Conf. 11.16 (Rev. CoP15) or Resolution Conf. 9.20 (Rev.); and | |||
| b) | if merit is found, draft a revision of the terms of paragraph A. 2 in Annex 4 of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15) to eliminate the requirement that downlisting proposals pursuant to Resolution Conf. 11.16 (Rev. CoP15) or Resolution Conf. 9.20 (Rev.) must also meet the criteria in Annex 1 of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15).1 | |||
 |
| 1 | Note from the Secretariat: the Secretariat understands that the intention of paragraph b) of this Decision is that, if the Animals Committee finds merit in the ability referred to in paragraph a), then it should draft a revision of section A. 2 in Annex 4 of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15) to allow proposals to downlist populations of Appendix-I species pursuant to Resolution Conf. 11.16 (Rev. CoP15) or Resolution Conf. 9.20 (Rev.) even if the species continue to qualify for inclusion in Appendix I under the criteria listed in Annex 1 of Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15). |
