CONCERNING:
Review of the appendices
Animals
1. At its 15th meeting (Antananarivo, Madagascar, 5-9 July 1999) the Animals Committee discussed in detail the possible approaches to its task of undertaking a periodic review of animal species included in the CITES appendices [in accordance with Resolution Conf. 9.1 (Rev.) Annex 2, paragraph v].
2. The Animals Committee agreed to review a number of the animal taxa currently included in the appendices. This list of taxa to be reviewed is attached to this Notification.
3. The list contains the names of Parties whose representatives at the meeting agreed to carry out the review of the species concerned.
4. Parties that are range States for the taxa under review may be contacted direct by the nominated co-ordinators of the review for information and advice.
5. At the Animals Committee there were seven species for which no Party volunteered to conduct the review. For these the Chairman of the Animals Committee awaits offers from Parties, in particular range States, to carry out the review.
6. The various activities for this review will be co-ordinated by Dr Marinus Hoogmoed, regional representative for Europe to the Animals Committee.
