Exenciones y otras disposiciones especiales

    

There are a number of cases for which the provisions of Articles III, IV and V of the Convention do not apply. This can result in exemptions to the normal procedures where no CITES documentation is required, or in special procedures, where trade is regulated, but the specimens are subject to the provisions of an Appendix different to the one in which the species is listed; or other documents than the normal CITES documentation are required.

According to Resolution. Conf. 11.10 the Convention does not apply to trade in stony corals that are fossilized. The annotation to the five of the species of corals included on the App II states: “Fossils are not subjected to the provisions of the Convention.” Parties have different interpretations of this annotation.

This section provides a list of Parties' interpretations of the annotation exempting fossil corals from the provisions of the Convention received in response to Notification to the Parties No. 2006/063 of 14 November 2006.
