3) No opinion for import of specimens of the following species / countries combinations

Rationale for the "no opinion": i) No trade anticipated: The species is not currently (or is only rarely) in trade, and no significant trade in relation to the conservation status of the species is anticipated ii) Decision deferred: There are insufficient data on the species. iii) All applications to be referred to SRG: The species is not currently (or is only rarely) in trade, but significant trade in relation to the conservation status of the species could be anticipated.
