VIII 7 (a) of the CITES Convention, the European Commission gathered the necessary trade data from all Member States and charged the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre with the production of the annual report. This report provides information on each Member State’s individual trade with third countries. To the extent possible, the information contains the following elements for each shipment: - the States with which such trade occurred, - the number or quantities and types of specimens, - the Latin names of the specimens, - purpose of the export, re-export, import or introduction from the sea. Equivalent information was gathered for non-CITES species, included in Annexes B and D to Regulation (EC) 338/97. The report will be published on the EUROPA website http://ec.europa.eu/environment/cites/home_en.htm under “Reports and Studies”. Requests from Parties for information on individual shipments can be addressed to the European Commission, Environment Directorate General, Unit ENV/E/2, B-1049 Brussels, [email protected]. 1 OJ L 61 of 3.3.1997, p. 1 I INTRODUCTION TO THE EC 2007 ANNUAL REPORT TO CITES The Community and CITES Although the European Union is not yet a Party to CITES2, its provisions have been implemented in Community law since 1982, when the first Community-wide legislation implementing the Convention entered into force. There are three main reasons why CITES is implemented at EU level and not individually by each EU Member State: - the fact that external trade rules are of exclusive Community competence; - the absence of systematic border controls as a result of the customs union; and - the existence of a Community policy on the environment and legislation on the protection and conservation of the Community’s indigenous species. Currently CITES is implemented across the EU through a comprehensive Regulation adopted in 1996 (Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein3) and a more detailed implementing Regulation (Commission Regulation (EC) 865/2006 of 4 May 20064). 2 Accession by the Community requires the ratification of the Gaborone Amendment to the Convention by 54 Countries that were a Party in 1983. 47 Parties have ratified the Amendment to date. 3 OJ L 61, 3.3.1997, p. 1 4 OJ L 166, 19.6.2006, p. 1 II Together, these two Regulations reflect the provisions of the Convention and those CoP Resolutions which the Member States have decided collectively to implement. However, they are stricter than the Convention in a number of crucial respects: Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 has four Annexes of which Annexes A, B and C loosely correspond to Appendices I, II and III respectively of the Convention but not exactly – for example, some Appendix II and III species are listed in Annex A because of their status on other Community nature protection legislation (the Birds and Habitats Directives), while Annexes A and B also include some non- CITES species; Annex D, which has no equivalent in CITES, lists species for which import levels are monitored; Stricter import conditions apply for species in Annexes A and B than for those in the corresponding Appendices I and II of the Convention; Import permits are also required for Annex B species and these can only be granted when the importing Member State – if necessary, in consultation with all the Member States – deems that trade in the relevant species from the country concerned is sustainable; Import notifications are required for Annex C and D species; There are additional requirements regarding housing and transport of live specimens; More comprehensive restrictions apply for internal trade in Annex A species. III In addition, the Regulations allow for the Commission to establish general restrictions on the introduction into the Community from certain countries of origin of: - Annex A specimens if the introduction would have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species, or on the extent of the territory occupied by the relevant population of the species, or on the grounds of other factors relating to conservation; - Annex B specimens if, given the current or anticipated trade levels, the introduction would have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species, or on the extent of the territory occupied by the relevant population of the species or on the grounds of other factors relating to conservation; - Live specimens in Annex B, which have a high mortality rate during shipment or as to which it has been established that live animals are unlikely to survive in captivity for a considerable proportion of their life span; and - Live specimens of species for which it has been established that their introduction into the natural environment of the Community would present an ecological threat to wild species of fauna and flora indigenous to the Community. Import restrictions can only be established after consultation with the countries of origin. They are published in the Official Journal of the EU. The most recent “Suspensions Regulation” is Regulation (EC) No 359/2009 of 30 April 20095. ********* For more details on these and other provisions of the Regulations please consult http://ec.europa.eu/environment/cites/home_en.htm. The situation with regard to import restrictions under Art. 4 (1), (2) and (6) can also be checked on the Internet web site created for that purpose by the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge (http://www.unep-wcmc.org/species/trade/eu/traderef.html) 5 OJ L 110, 1.5.2009, p. 3 IV PRESENTATION DU RAPPORT ANNUEL 2007 DE LA CE A LA CITES Conformément à l’article 15 (4) du Règlement (CE) 338/97 du Conseil 1, ainsi que par rapport à l’article VIII 7 (a) de la Convention CITES sur le commerce international des espèces de faune et de flore sauvages menacées d’extinction (CITES), la Commission Européenne a recueilli les données commerciales nécessaires auprès de tous les Etats Membres et a chargé le UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre d’établir le rapport annuel. Ce rapport fournit des informations sur le commerce individuel de chaque Etat membre avec les pays tiers. Dans la mesure du possible, l'information contient les éléments suivants pour chaque envoi: - les Etats avec lesquels le commerce a eu lieu, - le nombre ou les quantités et les types de spécimens, - le nom latin des spécimens, - le but de l’exportation, de la ré-exportation, de l’importation ou de l’introduction en provenance de la mer. Des informations équivalentes pour les espèces inscrites aux Annexes B et D du Règlement (CE) N° 338/97 étaient rassemblées également. Le rapport sera publié sur le site web EUROPA http://ec.europa.eu/environment/cites/home_en.htm (anglais) sous la rubrique "Useful information". Les demandes des Parties pour des informations sur les différents envois peuvent être adressées à la Commission européenne, direction générale de l'environnement, l'unité ENV/E/2, B-1049 Bruxelles, [email protected]. 1 JO L 61 du 3.3.1997, p. 1 V INTRODUCTION AU RAPPORT ANNUEL 2007 DE LA CE A LA CITES La Communauté et la CITES Bien que l'Union européenne (UE) ne soit pas encore Partie à la CITES2, les dispositions de la Convention sont appliquées en droit communautaire depuis 1982, année de l’entrée en vigueur de la première législation communautaire d'application de la CITES. La CITES est appliquée au niveau de l’UE et non individuellement par chacun des Etats membres pour trois raisons principales : • le fait que les règles du commerce extérieur relèvent exclusivement de la compétence de la Communauté ; • l'absence de contrôles systématiques aux frontières du fait de l'union douanière; et • l'existence d'une politique environnementale communautaire et d'une législation sur la protection et la conservation des espèces indigènes de la Communauté. Actuellement, la CITES est appliquée dans toute l'UE par le biais d'un règlement d’ensemble adopté en 1996 (Règlement (CE) n°338/97 du Conseil du 9 décembre 1996 relatif à la protection des espèces de faune et de flore sauvages par le contrôle de leur commerce3) et d'un règlement d'application plus détaillé (Règlement (CE) n°865/2006 du 4 mai 2006 de la Commission4).

  • Tonga SUMA Report
    BIOPHYSICALLY SPECIAL, UNIQUE MARINE AREAS OF TONGA EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT Marine and coastal ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean provide benefits for all people in and beyond the region. To better understand and improve the effective management of these values on the ground, Pacific Island Countries are increasingly building institutional and personal capacities for Blue Planning. But there is no need to reinvent the wheel, when learning from experiences of centuries of traditional management in Pacific Island Countries. Coupled with scientific approaches these experiences can strengthen effective management of the region’s rich natural capital, if lessons learnt are shared. The MACBIO project collaborates with national and regional stakeholders towards documenting effective approaches to sustainable marine resource management and conservation. The project encourages and supports stakeholders to share tried and tested concepts and instruments more widely throughout partner countries and the Oceania region. This report outlines the process undertaken to define and describe the special, unique marine areas of Tonga. These special, unique marine areas provide an important input to decisions about, for example, permits, licences, EIAs and where to place different types of marine protected areas, locally managed marine areas and Community Conservation Areas in Tonga.

U.S.A. DECEMBER 2007 Figure 1. A map of northeast Sulawesi showing sampling locations. For details see Table 1. ZOOXanthellate SCLERACTINIAN CORALS OF THE northern COAST OF SULAWESI BY PATRICK SCAPS,1 VIANNEY DENIS,1 SIEGFRIED BERHIMPON,2 AND FRANKY RUNTUKAHU2 ABSTRACT The coral reefs of the Pulisan region, located at the northeast of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, were studied in order to acquire information concerning their richness in zooxanthellate scleractinian corals. Twenty-one sites were thus prospected covering a total surface of 74 km². In total, 376 species belonging to 65 genera and 14 families were observed during this study with an average-per-survey site of 109 species. Acropora, Montipora and Porites were the genera with the most species on Pulisan region reefs with 64, 24 and 23 species, respectively. Various estimates of the number of species suggest more than 400, making this area one of the most diversified in zooxanthellate scleractinian corals in the world for such a small area covered and placing it at the epicenter of the triangle of coral diversity. INTRODUCTION Stretching in an east-west direction for approximately 5,000 km and comprising an estimated 17,508 islands, Indonesia is the largest archipelagic nation in the world. Indonesian coral reefs cover the largest surface area in the world (85,707 km2), which represents about 14% of the world total (Tomascik et al., 1997) and they are situated in the geographic zone of highest biodiversity, hence their intrinsic and patrimonial interest.

Venkataraman Zoological Survey of India, India Abstract- Loha Barrack Crocodile Sanctuary is the only protected area out of 96, for conserving crocodiles in its natural habitat at the western side of South Andaman region of Andaman and Nicobar Islands which is surrounded by Bay of Bengal. More than 91% of the sanctuary is covered by marine ecosystem. A total of 146 species of scleractinian corals under 49 genera and 14 families were reported during the present study. The maximum number of 34 species was found under the family Fungiidae which is the nucleus of scleractinian corals reef ecosystem. On the basis of then present study, more conservatory measures can be drawn on scleractinian corals in this sanctuary along with the target animal i.e. crocodile.

Raghunathan and 2K. Venkataraman 1Zoological Survey of India Andaman and Nicobar Regional Centre, Port Blair – 744 102 Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India 2Zoological Survey of India, M-Block, New Alipore. Kolkata-700 053, India Abstract: Labyrinth Islands have been contributing a great deal of faunal and floral lives in total biodiversity of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in due course of time. Rutland Island represents a total 331 species of scleractinian corals out of a total 581 species from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Though hard corals are reported under 15 families from this island, Acroporidae and Faviidae families represent 51.36% species among them, whereas only 1 species are reported for Astrocoeniidae family. Scleractinians are the building blocks of marine ecosystem. The presence of diversified scleractinian coral under 70 genera describes static variation of hermatypic and ahermatypic corals which leads to support enormous associated faunal communities. The present paper dealt with the diversity of scleractinian species with respect to genus and family in Rutland Island. Key words: Scleractinian Corals Diversity Rutland Island Andaman and Nicobar Islands INTRODUCTION The seas around the islands encounter a great deal of marine organisms with the base of coral reefs as the Being a major part of Labyrinth group of Islands, building blocks. A living coral reef ecosystem is one of Rutland Island lies at the southern region of Andaman the most glorious and fantastic sights on our planet [4].
