The Plants Committee shall: |
| |
a) |
continue to review the trade in Aloe spp., Cactaceae spp., Cyclamen spp., Galanthus spp., Gonystylus spp., Orchidaceae spp. and Prunus africana to determine whether additional finished products should be exempted by amending the relevant annotations for these species. This review should initially focus on trade in finished products of Orchidaceae spp. Recommendations on whether to exempt additional finished products from CITES controls should be based on the same considerations reflected in document PC18 Doc. 11.3 (e.g. whether finished products are exported from range States and are a significant portion of the trade). In conducting this work, the Plants Committee should consider whether a clear definition of ‘finished products’ should be developed; and |
| |
b) |
as appropriate, prepare proposals to amend Appendix II, based on the outcome of this review, and provide them to the Depositary Government for submission at the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties. |
