YOUR TELNO 1204 : IVORY PQ':
THE PQS QUOTED IN YOUR TUR REFER TO DIFFERENT PIECES OF INFORMATION : HENCE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
A. PROSECUTIONS IN 2ND HALF OF 1989
ANSWER TO PQ1719 REFERS TO TOTAL NUMBER OF PROSECUTIONS (I.E. 92) RELATING TO ALL ENDANGERED SPECIES DURING THE PERIOD (NOT REPEAT NOT IVORY ALONE). ANSWER TO PQ1859 LISTS OUT THE SPECIMENS, INCLUDING IVORY, INVOLVED IN THE PROSECUTIONS. ANSWER TO PQ2210 FURTHER PROVIDES THE COUNTRIES OF EXPORT OF THE IVORY IN QUESTION.
B. IVORY SEIZURES BY TASK FORCE OF HK CUSTOMS ANSWER TO PQ1718 REFERS TO IVORY (IVORY ONLY) SEIZURES (NOT REPEAT NOT PROSECUTIONS) CARRIED OUT BY HONG KONG CUSTOM'S SPECIAL TASK FORCE FROM 1 JUNE 1989 TO 22 MARCH 1990 (THE PERIOD UNDER REFERENCE IS DIFFERENT FROM A ABOVE). ANSWER TO PQ1861 THEN LISTED OUT THE
IVORY SEIZURES. AS A AND B ABOVE REFER TO DIFFERENT INFORMATION
AND DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME, THE INFORMATION FOR A DIFFERS FROM THAT OF B (BUT NOT REPEAT NOT CONTRADICT EACH OTHER).
