However, the deliberate misuse of source codes (i.e. claiming specimens are captive bred when they are in fact from the wild) can have negative implications for conservation. There is evidence that the large scale deliberate misuse of source codes is occurring, and this undermines the purpose and effective implementation of CITES by leading to over-harvesting, illegal trade, and loss of community benefits. A mechanism is required to allow concerns of deliberate misuse of source codes to be identified and investigated and for measures to be taken in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the Convention. A new Resolution for this has been recommended by the Animals Committee and Standing Committee. Concerns have been expressed in relation to the proposed new mechanism, some of which are addressed here Texte intégral MON-092699.pdf Site web www.traffic.org D'autres références Traité Convention sur le commerce international des espèces de faune et de flore sauvages menacées d'extinction Traité | Multilatéral | Washington | Mar 3, 1973 Mot clé: Autorisation/permis, Commerce international, Espèces animales protégées, Certification, Gestion/conservation, Biodiversité, Infractions/sanctions, Commerce d'espèces, Inventaire, Accord international-texte, Faune sauvage, Flore sauvage, Espèces menacées, Espèces végétales protégées, Produits de la chasse Source: IUCN (ID: TRE-000483)
