Wild collected exports

This section focuses on wild-sourced trade originating in the EU (including both direct exports and re-exports where the origin is within the EU). In 2012, Member States reported 225 export transactions involving wild-sourced species originating in the EU; these transactions were mainly recorded for scientific purposes (57%). The remainder comprised mainly commercial trade in live Tridacna maxima[1] and hunting trophies of Ursus arctos.

Percentage of wild-sourced (re )export transactions originating in the EU in 2012, as reported by the exporters, by purpose (n=225). ‘Other’ includes purposes ‘B’, ‘E’ and ‘N’.

Wild-sourced exports for scientific purposes involved 87 different taxa, including 61 Scleractinian corals and 14 mammals (including Lynx pardinus, Canis lupus and Ursus arctos, amongst others).

Wild-sourced exports originating in the EU in 2012, as reported by the (re-)exporters. Trade for scientific purposes (purpose ‘S’) is excluded.

Candidate countries reported 133 direct export transactions of wild-sourced species in 2012, the majority for commercial purposes (53%). Wild-sourced exports for purposes other than “scientific” involved 10 taxa, including three Annex A species. Trade in wild-sourced scientific specimens involved three species: live Bubo bubo (one individual) and specimens of Monachus monachus (12) and Ursus arctos (six).
