Wildlife trade and conservation
At its 50th meeting the Standing Committee considered revised draft Guidelines on Compliance with the Convention prepared on its instruction by the Secretariat. As it was unable to agree on a document at that meeting, the Committee established an open-ended, intersessional Working Group on Compliance and a process to create a document for consideration at its 53rd meeting (as outlined in Notification to the Parties No. 2004/052).
The Standing Committee agreed that a working group established at its 50th meeting, comprising Australia, Ecuador, Germany, Malaysia, Norway, the United Republic of Tanzania and the United States of America, would be the nucleus of the Working Group on Compliance. Australia accepted to serve as its interim chairman.
Once it is established, the Working Group will decide upon a chairman. It will also determine how to proceed with its work and how to elicit input from intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Secretariat will keep Parties informed about the progress of the Working Group by posting its products on the CITES website
