Foreign Proposals To Amend Appendices to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species

Riepilogo

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or Convention) regulates international trade in certain animals and plants. Species for which trade is controlled are listed in Appendices I, II, and III to CITES. Any country that is a party to CITES may propose amendments to Appendix I or II for consideration by the other Parties. This notice announces proposals submitted by Parties other than the United States and the Service's tentative negotiating positions, and invites information and comments on these proposals in order to develop negotiating positions for the U.S. delegation. The proposals will be considered at the ninth regular Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP9) to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from November 7- 18, 1994.
