"(
) The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) constitutes the main global agreement in existence on the conservation of wild species. It aims to prevent the excessive exploitation of these species for international trade. It is therefore crucial that the European Union participates constructively in the 15th Conference of the Parties next March.
I recognise the importance of preserving endangered species to the safeguarding of the planet’s biodiversity and ecological balance, and I acknowledge that sustainable development presupposes the reasonable use of natural resources without impeding activities that are necessary for development.
Therefore, at a time when changes to the appendices of the CITES are being discussed, I recognise the importance of also ensuring that there is sufficient protection for endangered wild species without jeopardising or consigning to oblivion any activities that ensure the economic and social viability of many communities."@en1
