Reporting on trade in artificially propagated plants

Directed to the Secretariat
14.39 (Rev. CoP15)	The Secretariat shall, subject to available funding, in consultation with the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre:
	a)	conduct a survey of reporting practices of Parties relating to trade in artificially propagated plants of taxa included in Appendix II, e.g. regarding the degree of completeness and detail;
	b)	identify cases where the compilation of trade data pertaining to artificially propagated plants of taxa included in Appendix II has contributed to a significant extent to the detection of illegal trade or to any other analysis related to the conservation of wild flora;
	c)	taking into consideration the results of paragraphs a) and b) above, analyse the Convention text and Resolutions in order to identify binding and non-binding elements of reporting, with special emphasis on artificially propagated plants of taxa included in Appendix II. The Secretariat shall list options for streamlining such reporting; and
	d)	report on its findings to the Plants Committee prior to its 20th meeting.
