WE WILL, OF COURSE, PREPARE THE PERIODIC REPORT FOR THE CITES SECRETARIAT AS REQUIRED UNDER ARTICLE VIII (7) OF THE CONVENTION.
THE USUAL PRACTICE IS FOR AN ANNUAL REPORT TO BE SUBMITTED BEFORE
OCTOBER OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
2 =
AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, INFORMATION ON RE-EXPORTS OF RAW IVORY
ONLY WILL BE GIVEN IN OUR REPORT. WE HAVE NEVER INCLUDED WORKED IVORY. INDEED, UNTIL IT CAME UNDER STATUTORY CONTROL IN LATE 1989 WE HAD NO DATA. IT WOULD BE MISLEADING TO USE WHAT LIMITED DATA WE NOW HAVE IN A REPORT FOR CALENDAR 1989. OUR REPORT FOR CALENDAR 1990 WILL, OF COURSE, INCLUDE BOTH RAW AND WORKED IVORY.
3.
WITH REGARD TO QUESTION (B), THE RAW IVORY STOCKS HELD IN HONG KONG HAVE BEEN MARKED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITES IVORY CONTROL PROCEDURE. THESE PROCEDURES ARE SET DOWN IN CITES RESOLUTION
CONF.3.12 AS MODIFIED BY CITES RESOLUTION CONF.6.15. THE QUANTITIES
OF IVORY STOCKS LEGALLY HELD UNDER POSSESSION LICENCES IN HONG KONG
AFTER 18 JULY 1990 CAN BE PROVIDED TO CITES SECRETARIAT IN DUE COURSE.
