"EARLY WARNING - EU TROPHY IMPORT RULES TO CHANGE
THIS AFFECTS EU HUNTERS WHO HAVE RECENTLY HUNTED, OR ARE PLANNING TO HUNT, ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: WHITE RHINO, LION, ELEPHANT, HIPPO, ARGALI SHEEP, POLAR BEAR
The EU is proposing to make it more difficult to import hunting trophies of these species into the EU. The rules are not final, but it is expected that they will take effect as described in this note, probably around the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015. Under the new rules, a trophy of any of these species cannot be imported into an EU country without an import certificate issued by the wildlife authority of the importing country. The importing country will refuse to issue a certificate if it considers on scientific advice that the hunt was harmful to the species, or that the country where it was hunted has failed to confirm it was legally taken. The wildlife authority has to take into account the views of the EU Scientific Review Group, which are published from time to time.
