Environment Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 4 December 2012.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs whether he has received any representations from the Canadian government on the US administration's proposal to add polar bears to CITES Appendix I.
DEFRA has not received any representations from the Canadian Government about the USA's proposal to include the polar bear in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Representatives from Canada (and the USA) will be attending EU meetings in early December at which the UK will be represented to discuss the proposal. We look forward to hearing their views.
