Birds of Prey
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to adopt a new definition of ““commercial use”” in deciding whether or not traded owls and hawks should have a certificate.
- Answer
-
““Commercial use”” is defined in the relevant European legislation which implements the CITES requirements. Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 defines commercial activities as follows: "““The purchase, offer to purchase, acquisition for commercial purposes, display to the public for commercial purposes use for commercial gain and sale, keeping for sale, offering for sale or transporting for sale of specimens””." There are no current plans to alter this definition.
