COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2015/870
of 5 June 2015
amending, as regards the trade in species of wild fauna and flora, Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
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(2), (3) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
In order to implement certain Resolutions adopted at the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) (3 – 14 March 2013), hereinafter ‘the Convention’, certain provisions should be amended and further provisions should be added to Commission Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 (2). |
|
(2) |
In particular, in line with CITES Resolution Conf. 16.8, specific provisions designed to simplify the non-commercial cross-border movement of musical instruments should be inserted. |
|
(3) |
Experience gained in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 865/2006, in conjunction with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 792/2012 (3), has shown that some provisions therein should be amended in order to ensure that the Regulation is implemented in a harmonised and efficient manner within the Union. This is the case in particular in relation to the first introduction into the Union of hunting trophies of specimens of some species or populations listed in Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97, for which there are concerns as to the sustainability of trade in hunting trophies or for which there are indications of significant illegal trade. In such cases, more stringent control of imports into the Union is necessary and the derogation set out in Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 for personal and household effects should therefore not apply. Experience in implementing Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 has also shown that it was necessary to clarify that import permits should not be issued by Member States in cases where, despite a request to this end, they do not obtain satisfactory information from the exporting or re-exporting country as to the legality of the specimens to be imported into the EU. |
|
(4) |
At the sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, the standard references for nomenclature were updated. These references are used to indicate scientific names of species in permits and certificates. Those changes should be reflected in Annex VIII to Regulation (EC) No 865/2006. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 865/2006 should be amended accordingly. |
|
(6) |
As this Regulation should be used in conjunction with Implementing Regulation (EU) No 792/2012, it is important that both Regulations apply as of the same day. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Trade in Wild Fauna and Flora. |
|
(8) |
Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/56 (4) has been adopted without submission of the draft measure for scrutiny to the Council. In order to remedy this omission, the Commission repeals Regulation (EU) 2015/56 and replaces it by the present Regulation which was submitted in draft for scrutiny to the European Parliament and the Council. Acts adopted under Regulation (EU) 2015/56 remain valid, |
