This document has been prepared by the Chair of the Working Group on the Periodic Review, with the assistance of the Scientific Authority of Mexico*. Introduction 2. The Periodic Review of the Appendices forms part of the mandate of the scientific committees (Plants Committee and Animals Committee) and its purpose is to review the species already listed in the CITES Appendices in order to determine whether their inclusion remains appropriate, in the light of recent biological and trade information and in compliance with the CITES provisions on the criteria for amending Appendices I and II [Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP15)]. This process is encapsulated in Objective 1.4 of the CITES Strategic Vision: 2008-2013 (“The Appendices correctly reflect the conservation needs of species”). 3. Resolution Conf. 14.8 (Periodic Review of the Appendices) describes the process for selection of species and states in its paragraph b) that the Animals and Plants Committees shall establish a schedule for the Periodic Review and identify a list of taxa they propose to review during the next two intersessional periods between meetings of the Conference of the Parties. The list should be established at the first meeting of the scientific committees after the meeting of the Conference of the Parties.

  • Annotations in the Cites Appendices – Version 3.0
    Original language: English PC25 Inf. 9 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ___________________ Twenty-fifth meeting of the Plants Committee Geneva (Switzerland), 17 and 20-23 July 2020 ILLUSTRATED MANUAL OF PLANT # ANNOTATIONS IN THE CITES APPENDICES – VERSION 3.0 1. This document has been submitted by Germany in relation to agenda item 35 on Annotations and to agenda item 36 on Annotation #15. * 2. Understanding the CITES Appendices and its provisions for species included in Appendices I, II and III is often difficult. A particular challenge is the implementation of the various Annotations which accompany many plant species. To support implementation and enforcement of CITES plant listings the Scientific Authority of Germany in the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation has prepared an illustrated manual which is presented in this information document. 3. The aim of this manual is to be a practical guide for the implementation of the # Annotations and an improved understanding of the terms used in them. Considerable effort has been made to summarize and illustrate the majority of commodities that can be found in international trade, including their transitional processing stages from raw material to finished product. 4. The manual has been updated from its 2018 version (see PC24 Inf. 2) in the light of decisions taken at CoP18 and SC72 in August 2019. 5. Recommendations to include additional relevant commodities of CITES plants in the image section are highly welcome. Please send to David Harter ([email protected]) and Mario Sterz ([email protected]). * The geographical designations employed in this document do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the CITES Secretariat (or the United Nations Environment Programme) concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

This document has been submitted by Switzerland as chair of the intersessional working group coordinating and monitoring the Periodic Review of the Appendices (PC17 WG5)*. Introduction 2. The Periodic Review of the Appendices is designed to review species already included in the Appendices to determine whether their listings continue to be appropriate based on the guidelines of Resolution Conf. 14.8 Periodic Review of the Appendices. It is important for a positive conservation impact of the Convention with effective allocation of resources, as well as for the credibility of the Convention, that the CITES Appendices reflect actual conservation needs of species in trade, regulate all relevant parts and derivatives, and do not include species that do not benefit from such protection or parts and derivatives thereof with no significant impact on harvest from the wild. Especially if the conservation status of a species has improved, or international trade has shifted to other species or commodities, this should be reflected by the provisions of CITES as closely as possible. Therefore the Periodic Review of the Appendices is an important process of CITES. Background 3. According to Resolution Conf. 11.1
