European Union
In spite of the joint CIC/FACE letter to European Commission Vice-President Timmermans onthe new EU trophy import regulations, the Commission just published the new regulations which include the following regulations (the provisions of the new regulations will enter into force onFebruary 5, 2015):
An import permit will be required for the import into the EU of hunting trophies from six CITES-listed species: African lion, polar bear, African elephant (for populations not included in Annex A of Regulation 338/97, for which the import permit requirement already applies),Southern white rhinoceros (for populations not included in Annex A of Regulation 338/97, for which the import permit requirement already applies), hippopotamus and argali sheep.
EU Member States will have a clear legal basis to refuse
the issuing of an import permit in
case of serious doubts as to the legality of a shipment of CITES products, if no satisfactory
information on this point is provided by the exporting country.
