Israel Nature and Parks Authority Division of Science and Conservation 3 Am Ve Olamo Street, Jerusalem 95463, Israel Tel: +972-(0)2-5005444 Fax: +972-(0)2-5006281 e-mail: simon@npa.org.il ============ ============================================================================ Israel s Annual Report for 2006 on Trade in Species Listed in the Appendices of The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) Prepared by: Simon C. Nemtzov for Israel s Scientific Authority and Etty Sabag for Israel s Management Authority This report consists of two tables of data from Israel on imports and exports/re-exports of species listed in the appendices of the CITES convention, for the year 2006, prepared in accordance with Article VIII, paragraph 7 (a) of the Convention, following the Guidelines for the Preparation and Submission of CITES Annual Reports (Notification 2006/030). Israel s trade policy necessitates an import and export permit from the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA) for all wildlife and for all protected species imported into the country (even non CITES-listed species). In addition, the INPA issues official CITES permits for the import of Appendix I listed species, and for export or re-export of all CITES-listed species. Israel's summary consists of data on the actual quantity of animals imported and exported. The data in the tables were provided by the permitholders and were approved by INPA inspectors. Imports The table of CITES imports includes all permits issued for the import to Israel of CITES-listed species for which specimens were actually imported; the quantity of the Flora (plants) in the table is estimated. The table includes a description, the quantity imported, the number of the Israeli import permit, the ISO code for the country exporting to Israel, and the codes used for the Purpose and Source (see below). For the imports
of corals to Israel details of the species imported are not listed. This is due to the practice whereby imports to Israel of live coral colonies for commercial purposes are done by importers who are issued an INPA import permit with an attached list of permitted species (all of which are in Appendix II or are non-cites species). The corresponding export CITES permit, issued by the country of export is examined at the point of entry into Israel. Note: Purpose and Source codes are given only for import permits for species listed in Appendix I (see below). Exports and Re-exports The table of CITES Export and Re-export Permits includes all permits issued for the export or re-export from Israel of CITES-listed species for which specimens were actually exported or re-exported. However the quantity of the Flora (plants) in the table is estimated. The table includes a description, the number of the Israeli export or re-export permit, the quantity exported or re-exported, the ISO code of the destination country, the ISO code of the country of origin of re-exports (which in most cases is the country of last export), and the Purpose and Source codes (see below). Note: Only Re-export permits have a country listed in the column "Re-export origin"; for Export permits this column is left blank. CITES Purpose and Source Codes From Resolution Conf. 12.3 (Rev. CoP14) Resolution Conf. 12.3 (Rev. CoP14) recommends that Parties state, on each of their permits and certificates, the purpose of the transaction using the following codes: T Z G Q S H P M E N B L Commercial Zoos Botanical gardens Circuses and travelling exhibitions Scientific Hunting trophies Personal Medical (including biomedical research) Educational Reintroduction or introduction into the wild Breeding in captivity or artificial propagation Law enforcement / judicial / forensic; 2
The following codes [are to] be used to indicate the source of the specimens: W Specimens taken from the wild R D A C Specimens originating from a ranching operation Appendix-I animals bred in captivity for commercial purposes and Appendix-I plants artificially propagated for commercial purposes, as well as parts and derivatives thereof, exported under the provisions of Article VII, paragraph 4 Plants that are artificially propagated in accordance with Resolution Conf. 11.11 (Rev. CoP14), paragraph a), as well as parts and derivatives thereof, exported under the provisions of Article VII, paragraph 5 (specimens of species included in Appendix I that have been propagated artificially for non-commercial purposes and specimens of species included in Appendices II and III) Animals bred in captivity in accordance with Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.), as well as parts and derivatives thereof, exported under the provisions of Article VII, paragraph 5 (specimens of species included in Appendix I that have been bred in captivity for non-commercial purposes and specimens of species included in Appendices II and III) F Animals born in captivity (F1 or subsequent generations) that do not fulfill the definition of bred in captivity in Resolution Conf. 10.16 (Rev.), as well as parts and derivatives thereof U I O Source unknown (must be justified) Confiscated or seized specimens Pre-Convention specimens 3
