No. 838                                   Geneva, 22 February 1995


CONCERNING:


               Submission of Export Quotas for 1995


1.Resolution  Conf.  9.3,  which replaces  Resolution  Conf.  8.5,
  recommends that Parties that have voluntarily established export
  quotas  for  specimens of species listed in the CITES appendices
  make this known to the other Parties through the Secretariat. So
  that  the  Parties  can  be informed  early  in  the  year,  the
  Secretariat invites Parties that have established export  quotas
  for 1995 to provide the necessary details, before 22 March 1995,
  by   completing  and  returning  the  table  annexed   to   this
  Notification.

2.Parties  submitting information on the export quotas  that  they
  have  established for specimens of species listed in  the  CITES
  appendices  are  requested to ensure  that  they  implement  the
  provisions of paragraphs l) and m) under the second "RECOMMENDS"
  of Resolution Conf. 9.3. As the Secretariat is obliged to ensure
  that decisions of the Conference of the Parties are implemented,
  it will recommend to importing countries the rejection of export
  documents  that  do  not contain the information  asked  for  in
  Resolution Conf. 9.3.

3.This  Notification replaces Notification to the Parties No.  820
  of 25 August 1994.
