lpv:spoken text	"I supported this resolution which urges the European Union and the Member States to reject any proposals to downlist the African elephant or the trade in African elephant ivory until an assessment can be made of the impact of the one-off sale in November 2008 by Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe and it has been established that that the one-off sale has had no adverse effect on elephant populations in those countries or in neighbouring countries. It encourages the CITES Parties, bearing in mind the current elephant poaching crisis, to take a precautionary approach and base their decisions on the possible impact on elephant conservation and the implementation of the African Elephant Action Plan when considering the decision-making mechanism for a future trade in elephant ivory after the complete nine-year resting period starting from the one-off sale in November 2008. It calls on the European Union and the Member States to support a proposal to amend Decision 14.77 on a decision-making mechanism for a future trade in elephant ivory. It encourages the CITES Parties to support the adoption of the resolution on the African Elephant Action Plan, as tabled by Nigeria and Rwanda, and the implementation of this plan as the most efficient way forward for the conservation of elephants across Africa."@en1
