Component 2: Regulate trade in species that may become threatened with extinction
Directly relevant obligations and commitments
- Only grant an export permit for any specimen of a species included in Appendix II if a Scientific Authority of the State of export has advised that such export will not be detrimental to the survival of that species: CITES Article IV.2 (a) SEE COMMENTARY 2
- The Scientific Authority shall advise the appropriate Management Authority of suitable measures to be taken to limit the grant of export permits for specimens of species included in Appendix II whenever a Scientific Authority determines that the export of such specimens should be limited in order to maintain that species throughout its range at a level consistent with its role in the ecosystems in which it occurs and well above the level at which that species might become eligible for inclusion in Appendix I: CITES Article IV.3
- Only grant a certificate for the introduction from the sea of any specimen of a species included in Appendix II if a Scientific Authority of the State of introduction advises that the introduction will not be detrimental to the survival of the species involved: CITES Article IV.6 (a) SEE COMMENTARY 3

- Appropriate Scientific Authority should advise on the issuance of exports permits and certificates of introduction for the sea, stating whether the proposed trade would be detrimental to the survival of the species in question: CITES Resolution 10.3 Recommends (g) SEE COMMENTARY 5
- Appropriate Scientific Authority should monitor the status of native Appendix II species and export data and recommend, if necessary suitable remedial measures in order to maintain each species at level consistent with its role in the ecosystem: CITES Resolution 10.3 Recommends (j) SEE COMMENTARY 6
- Take into account any potential detriment to the survival of the listed species, when considering the making of non-detriment finding in accordance with Article IV paragraph 2 (a), for specimens of hybrids that are subject to the provisions of the Convention: CITES Resolution 10.17
