Quels sont les résultats atteints jusqu’à présent grâce à la mise en œuvre de la politique/mesure ?:
At the last Conference of the Parties to the CITES Convention (August 2019) the EU and other Parties agreed on the exclusion of finished musical instruments (as well as finished musical instrument parts and finished musical instrument accessories) from the scope of the CITES listing of rosewood timber. This excludes owners of such items from fulfilling certain administrative obligations that are otherwise required for international transfer of items containing such timber.
