COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 100/2008

of 4 February 2008

amending, as regards sample collections and certain formalities relating to the trade in species of wild fauna and flora, Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1), and in particular Article 19(1)(i) and (iii), (2) and (4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In order to implement certain resolutions adopted at the thirteenth and fourteenth meetings of the Conference of the Parties to CITES, further provisions should be added to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2).

(2)

CITES Resolutions Conf. 9.7 (Rev. CoP13) on Transit and Trans Transhipment and Conf. 12.3 (Rev. CoP13) on Permits and Certificates provide for special procedures in order to ease the cross-border movement of sample collections covered by ATA carnets as defined in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (3). In order to provide economic operators within the Community with similar conditions as those of other CITES Parties for the movement of such sample collections, it is necessary to make provision for such procedures in Community legislation.

(3)

CITES Resolution Conf. 12.3 (Rev. CoP13) on Permits and Certificates allows for permits to be issued retrospectively for personal and household effects, where the Management Authority is satisfied that a genuine error was made and that there was no attempt to deceive, and requires Parties to report on such permits in the biennial reports to the Secretariat. Provision should be made to that effect in order to allow for adequate flexibility and to reduce the bureaucratic burden in relation to imports of personal and household effects.

(4)

CITES Resolution Conf. 13.6 on the implementation of Article VII, paragraph 2 of the Convention concerning ‘pre-Convention’ specimens provides a definition of ‘pre-Convention’ specimen and clarifies the dates that are to be taken to establish whether a specimen can be considered as ‘pre-Convention’. For clarity purposes, these provisions should be implemented in Community Legislation.

(5)

CITES Resolution Conf. 13.7 (Rev. CoP14) on Control of Trade in Personal and Household Effects provides a list of species for which no document is required for the export and import of specimens that are Personal and Household Effects below a certain amount. This list includes derogations for giant clams and seahorses as well as for a reduced quantity for caviar, which should be implemented.

(6)	CITES Resolution Conf. 12.7 (Rev. CoP14) on Conservation of and Trade in sturgeons and paddlefish sets out specific conditions for Parties to allow imports, exports and re-exports of caviar. In order to reduce fraud, these provisions should be implemented in Community Legislation.

(7)

At the fourteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CITES, the standard references for nomenclature, to be used to indicate scientific names of species in permits and certificates, were updated and the listing of animal species in the CITES Appendices were rearranged in order to present the orders, families and genera in alphabetical order. These changes therefore need to be reflected in Annex VIII and Annex X of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006.

(8)

The Conference of the Parties to CITES has adopted a Biennial report format for the submission of the biennial reports required under Article VIII, paragraph 7(b) of the Convention. Member States should therefore submit their biennial reports in accordance with Biennial report format, as regards information required under the Convention, and in accordance with a supplementary report format as regards the information required under Regulation (EC) No 338/97 and Regulation (EC) No 865/2006.

(9)

Experience gained in implementation of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 has shown that the provisions therein relating to transaction-specific certificates need to be amended in order to provide greater flexibility in the use of such certificates and to allow them to be used in Member States other than the issuing Member State.

(10)	Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(11)	The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora,

COMMISSION DECISION

of 25 January 2008

adopting, pursuant to Council Directive 92/43/EEC, a first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region

(notified under document number C(2008) 286)

(2008/95/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (1) and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The Macaronesian biogeographical region, as referred to in Article 1(c)(iii) of Directive 92/43/EEC, comprises the archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira (Portugal) and the Canary Islands (Spain) in the Atlantic ocean, as specified in the biogeographical map approved on 25 April 2005 by the Committee set up by Article 20 of that Directive, hereinafter the ‘Habitats Committee’.

(2)	It is necessary in the context of a process initiated since 1995 to make further progress in the actual establishment of the Natura 2000 network, which is an essential element of the protection of biodiversity in the Community.

(3)

An initial list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region, within the meaning of Directive 92/43/EEC was adopted by Commission Decision 2002/11/EC (2). On the basis of Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC, the Member State concerned shall designate the sites included in the list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region as special areas of conservation as soon as possible and within six years at most, establishing conservation priorities and the necessary conservation measures.

(4)	In the context of a dynamic adaptation of the Natura 2000 network, the lists of sites of Community importance are reviewed. The update of that initial list is therefore necessary.

(5)

On the one hand, the update of the initial list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region is necessary in order to include additional sites that have been proposed since 2000 by the Member States as sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC. The obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC are applicable as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region.

(6)

On the other hand, the update of the initial list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region is necessary in order to reflect any changes in site related information submitted by the Member States following the adoption of the Community list. In that sense, the first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region constitutes a consolidated version of the initial list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region. However, it should be stressed that the obligations resulting from Articles 4(4) and 6(1) of Directive 92/43/EEC are applicable as soon as possible and within six years at most from the adoption of the initial list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region.

(7)

For the Macaronesian biogeographical region, lists of sites proposed as sites of Community importance within the meaning of Article 1 of Directive 92/43/EEC have been transmitted to the Commission between November 1997 and September 2006, in accordance with Article 4(1) of the Directive, by Portugal and Spain.

(8)	The lists of proposed sites were accompanied by information on each site, supplied in the format established by Commission Decision 97/266/EC of 18 December 1996 concerning a site information format for proposed Natura 2000 sites (3).

(9)	That information includes the most recent and definitive map of the site transmitted by the Member State in question, the site’s name, location and extent, and the data yielded by application of the criteria specified in Annex III to Directive 92/43/EEC.

(10)

On the basis of the draft list drawn up by the Commission in agreement with each of the Member States concerned, which also identifies sites hosting priority natural habitat types or priority species, a first updated list of sites selected as sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region should be adopted.

(11)

Knowledge of the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types and species is constantly evolving, as a result of the surveillance in accordance with Article 11 of Directive 92/43/EEC. Therefore, the evaluation and selection of sites at Community level was done using the best available information at present.

(12)

However, some Member States have not proposed sufficient sites to meet the requirements in Directive 92/43/EEC for certain habitat types and species. For those species and habitat types it can therefore not be concluded that the network is complete. However, taking into account the delay in receiving the information and reaching agreement with the Member States, the Commission considers that it should adopt a first updated list of sites which will need to be revised in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.

(13)

Given that knowledge on the existence and distribution of the natural habitat types of Annex I and species of Annex II to Directive 92/43/EEC that occur in both marine territorial waters as well as marine waters under national jurisdiction beyond territorial waters remains incomplete, it should not be concluded that the network is either complete or incomplete. The list should be revised, if necessary, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of Directive 92/43/EEC.

(14)	In the interests of clarity and transparency Decision 2002/11/EC should be replaced.

(15)	The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Habitats Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The first updated list of sites of Community importance for the Macaronesian biogeographical region in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Directive 92/43/EEC is set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2

Decision 2002/11/EC is repealed.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 25 January 2008.
