EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.           On 1 April 1987 the Commission decided[1] to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement and that departments should endeavour to codify at even shorter intervals the texts for which they are responsible, to ensure that their provisions are clear and readily understandable.

2.           The codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein[2] has been initiated by the Commission. The new Regulation was to have superseded the various acts incorporated in it[3].

3.           In the meantime the Lisbon Treaty entered into force. Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) allows the legislator to delegate to the Commission the power to adopt non-legislative acts of general application to supplement or amend certain non-essential elements of a legislative act. Article 291 of the TFEU allows the legislator to confer implementing powers on the Commission where uniform conditions for implementing legally binding Union acts are needed. Acts adopted by the Commission in accordance with those Articles are referred to in the terminology used by the TFEU as "delegated acts" (Article 290(3)) and as "implementing acts" (Article 291(4)), respectively.

4.           Regulation (EC) No 338/97 contains provisions for which such a delegation of power or such a conferral of implementing powers would be opportune. It is therefore appropriate to transform the codification of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 into a recast in order to incorporate the necessary amendments.

5.           The recast proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation, in 22 official languages, of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 and the instruments amending it, carried out by the Publications Office of the European Union, by means of a data-processing system. Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in Annex III to the recast Regulation.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein

(Recast)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article Ö 192(1) Õ thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[4],

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions[5],

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure[6],

Whereas:

ò new

(1)       Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein[7] has been substantially amended several times[8]. Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

ê 338/97 recital 1 (adapted)

ð new

(2)       The purpose of Ö this Regulation Õ is to Ö ensure the protection of Õ species of Ö wild Õ fauna and flora Ö which are threatened by Õ trade ð or likely to be so threatened ï.

ê 338/97 recital 3

(3)       The provisions of this Regulation do not prejudice any stricter measures which may be taken or maintained by Member States, in compliance with the Treaty, in particular with regard to the holding of specimens of species covered by this Regulation.

ê 338/97 recital 4

(4)       It is necessary to lay down objective criteria for the inclusion of species of wild fauna and flora in the Annexes to this Regulation.

ê 338/97 recital 5 (adapted)

(5)       The implementation of this Regulation necessitates the application of common conditions for the issue, use and presentation of documents relating to the authorisation of the introduction into the Ö Union Õ and the export or re-export from the Ö Union Õ of specimens of the species covered by this Regulation. It is necessary to lay down specific provisions relating to the transit of specimens through the Ö Union Õ.

ê 338/97 recital 6 (adapted)

(6)       It is for a management authority of the Member State of destination, assisted by the scientific authority of that Member State and, where appropriate, taking into account any opinion of the Scientific Review Group, to decide on the requests for introduction of specimens into the Ö Union Õ.

ê 338/97 recital 7 (adapted)

(7)       It is necessary to Ö provide for Õ a consultation procedure Ö in the framework of the provisions on re-export Õ, in order to limit the risk of infringement.

ê 338/97 recital 8 (adapted)

(8)       In order to guarantee effective protection of species of wild fauna and flora, additional restrictions may be imposed on the introduction of specimens into, and the export thereof from, the Ö Union Õ. With regard to live specimens, these restrictions may be supplemented by restrictions at Ö Union Õ level on the holding or movement of such specimens within the Ö Union Õ.

ê 338/97 recital 9

(9)       It is necessary to lay down specific provisions applicable to captive-born and bred, or artificially propagated specimens, to specimens which are personal or household effects, and to non-commercial loans, donations or exchanges between registered scientists and scientific institutions.

ê 338/97 recital 10 (adapted)

(10)     There is a need, in order to ensure the broadest possible protection for species covered by this Regulation, to lay down provisions for controlling trade and movement of specimens within the Ö Union Õ, and the conditions for housing specimens. The certificates issued under this Regulation, which contribute to controlling those activities, should be governed by common rules on their issue, validity and use.

ê 338/97 recital 11 (adapted)

(11)     Measures should be taken to minimise the adverse effects on live specimens of transport to their destination, from or within the Ö Union Õ.

ê 338/97 recital 12 (adapted)

(12)     To ensure effective controls and to facilitate customs procedures, customs offices should be designated, with trained personnel responsible for carrying out the necessary formalities and corresponding checks where specimens are introduced into the Ö Union Õ, in order to assign them a customs-approved treatment or use within the meaning of Council Regulation (EEC) [No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992] establishing the Community Customs Code[9], or where they are exported or re-exported from the Ö Union Õ. There should also be facilities guaranteeing that live specimens are adequately housed and cared for.

ê 338/97 recital 13

(13)     The implementation of this Regulation also calls for the designation of management and scientific authorities by the Member States.

ê 338/97 recital 14

(14)     Informing the public and making them aware of the provisions of this Regulation, particularly at border crossing points, is likely to encourage compliance with these provisions.

ê 338/97 recital 15

(15)     In order to ensure effective enforcement of this Regulation, Member States should closely monitor compliance with its provisions and, to that end, cooperate closely between themselves and with the Commission. This requires the communication of information relating to the implementation of this Regulation.

ê 338/97 recital 16

(16)     The monitoring of levels of trade in the species of wild fauna and flora covered by this Regulation is of crucial importance for assessing the effects of trade on the conservation status of species. Detailed annual reports should be drawn up in a common format.

ê 338/97 recital 17

(17)     In order to guarantee compliance with this Regulation, it is important that Member States impose sanctions for infringements in a manner which is both sufficient and appropriate to the nature and gravity of the infringement.

ê 338/97 recital 19

(18)     The multitude of biological and ecological aspects to be considered in the implementation of this Regulation requires the setting up of a Scientific Review Group, whose opinions will be forwarded by the Commission to the Committee and the management bodies of the Member States, to assist them in making their decisions.

(b)     as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.

2.           The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.

3.           Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information or classification only.

4.           Species printed in bold in Annex A are listed there in consistency with their protection as provided for by Council Directive 2009/147/EC[14] or Council Directive 92/43/EEC[15].

5.           The following abbreviations are used for plant taxa below the level of species:

(a)     “ssp.” is used to denote subspecies;

(b)     “var(s).” is used to denote variety (varieties); and

(c)     “fa.” is used to denote forma.

6.           The symbols “(I)”, “(II)” and “(III)” placed against the name of a species or higher taxon refer to the Appendices to the Convention in which the species concerned are listed as indicated in notes 7 to 9. Where none of these annotations appears, the species concerned are not listed in the Appendices to the Convention.

7.           (I) against the name of a species or higher taxon indicates that the species or higher taxon concerned is included in Appendix I to the Convention.

8.           (II) against the name of a species or higher taxon indicates that the species or higher taxon concerned is included in Appendix II to the Convention.

9.           (III) against the name of a species or higher taxon indicates that it is included in Appendix III to the Convention. In this case the country with respect to which the species or higher taxon is included in Appendix III is also indicated.

10.         “Cultivar” means, following the definition of the 8th edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, an assemblage of plants that (a) has been selected for a particular character or combination of characters, (b) is distinct, uniform, and stable in these characters, and (c) when propagated by appropriate means, retains those characters. No new taxon of a cultivar can be regarded as such until its category name and circumscription has been formally published in the latest edition of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.

11.         Hybrids may be specifically included in the Appendices but only if they form distinct and stable populations in the wild. Hybrid animals that have in their previous four generations of the lineage one or more specimens of species included in Annexes A or B shall be subject to the provisions of this Regulation just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the Annexes.

12.         When a species is included in Annex A, B or C, all parts and derivatives of the species are also included in the same Annex unless the species is annotated to indicate that only specific parts and derivatives are included. In accordance with Article 2(t) of this Regulation, the symbol “#” followed by a number placed against the name of a species or higher taxon included in Annex B or C designates parts or derivatives which are specified in relation thereto for the purposes of the Regulation as follows:

#1 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds, spores and pollen (including pollinia); (b)          seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers; (c)          cut flowers of artificially propagated plants; and (d)          fruits and parts and derivatives thereof of artificially propagated plants of the genus Vanilla.

#2 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds and pollen; and (b)          finished products packaged and ready for retail trade.

#3 || Designates whole and sliced roots and parts of roots.

#4 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except: (a)          seeds (including seedpods of Orchidaceae), spores and pollen (including pollinia). The exemption does not apply to seeds from Cactaceae spp. exported from Mexico, and to seeds from Beccariophoenix madagascariensis and Neodypsis decaryi exported from Madagascar; (b)          seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers; (c)          cut flowers of artificially propagated plants; (d)          fruits and parts and derivatives thereof of naturalized or artificially propagated plants of the genus Vanilla (Orchidaceae) and of the family Cactaceae; (e)          stems, flowers, and parts and derivatives thereof of naturalized or artificially propagated plants of the genera Opuntia subgenus Opuntia and Selenicereus (Cactaceae); and (f)           finished products of Euphorbia antisyphilitica packaged and ready for retail trade.

#5 || Designates logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets.

#6 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets and plywood.

#7 || Designates logs, wood-chips, powder and extracts.

#8 || Designates underground parts (i.e. roots, rhizomes): whole, parts and powdered.

#9 || Designates all parts and derivatives, except those bearing a label “Produced from Hoodia spp. material obtained through controlled harvesting and production in collaboration with the CITES Management Authorities of Botswana/Namibia/South Africa under agreement no. BW/NA/ZA xxxxxx”.

#10 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, including unfinished wood articles used for the fabrication of bows for stringed musical instruments.

#11 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, plywood, powder and extracts.

#12 || Designates logs, sawn wood, veneer sheets, plywood and essential oil, excluding finished products packaged and ready for retail trade.

#13 || Designates the kernel (also known as “endosperm”, “pulp” or “copra”) and any derivative thereof.

13.         As none of the species or higher taxa of FLORA included in Annex A is annotated to the effect that its hybrids shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.1 of the Regulation, this means that artificially propagated hybrids produced from one or more of these species or taxa may be traded with a certificate of artificial propagation, and that seeds and pollen (including pollinia), cut flowers, seedling or tissue cultures obtained in vitro, in solid or liquid media, transported in sterile containers of these hybrids are not subject to the provisions of the Regulation.

14.         Urine, faeces and ambergris which are waste products and gained without the manipulation of the animal concerned are not subject to the provisions of the Regulation.

15.         In respect of fauna species listed in Annex D, the provisions shall apply only to live specimens and whole, or substantially whole, dead specimens except for taxa which are annotated as follows to show that other parts and derivatives are also covered:

§ 1 || Any whole, or substantially whole, skins, raw or tanned.

§ 2 || Any feathers or any skin or other part with feathers on it.

16.         In respect of flora species listed in Annex D, the provisions shall apply only to live specimens except for taxa which are annotated as follows to show that other parts and derivatives are also covered:

§ 3 || Dried and fresh plants, including, where appropriate; leaves, roots/rootstock, stems, seeds/spores, bark and fruits.

§ 4 || Logs, sawn wood and veneer sheets.
