Birds of Prey
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many prosecutions there have been in each of the past five years for failure to obtain the necessary Article 10 certification for a traded bird.
- Answer
-
While information on the number of persons proceeded against at magistrates' courts for offences under Regulation 8(1) and (8) of the Control of Trade in Endangered Species (Enforcement) Regulations 1997 (COTES) is held by the Ministry of Justice, it is not possible to separate proceedings for offences involving failure to obtain an Article 10 certificate for a traded bird from other offences within Regulation 8(1) and (8) of COTES. The total number proceeded againast is as follows:
2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Proceeded against 2 9 8 6 6 The data for 2009 do not include figures for December 2009 as these are not yet separately available. I will write to the noble Lady when these data become available.
