2 -strengths & weaknesses European Union Trade in Wildlife Information exchange Established 2005 by TRAFFIC Europe An international tool to assist EU in the fight against wildlife trade crime; non EU member states can participate as well Exchange of information between competent CITES-authorities, enforcement authorities, customs authorities Components of TWIX Database with information concerning seized and lawful confiscated CITES-specimens, contact data

3 -strengths & weaknesses Access/participation only for CITES authority staff Each member state names a focal point, who is competent to decide about new participants from his country All participants are contained in the TWIX mailing list Discussion either with all participants or only with the questioner Daily exchange by concerning Information on Request for species identification, competent experts etc. Discussion about legal interpretation of the EU-regulation Notes on new interesting publications And much others

4 -strengths & weaknesses Strengths Fast exchange/spreading of important/confidential information Weaknesses Sometimes too much uninteresting news Occasional false notes to legal interpretation

5 -strengths & weaknesses Access only with password and login (focal point decides about participation) TWIX member states send an excel file once a year All seized and legally confiscated specimens Defined structure of the report (fictive example):

6 -strengths & weaknesses Strengths Overview about all in the EU in consistent structure Possibilities for analyses Some CITES MA-s use this database for national statistics Weaknesses No focus on significant (in Germany approximately 80% of all tourist souvenirs made from/with CITESspecies)

7 -strengths & weaknesses Seizure data for the enforcement working group of the EU Reports twice a year including confidential data Only significant Annex A species Sensitive Annex B species (e. g. import suspensions) High quantities (suspicion of commercial import purposes) Only significant decisions Fines > 500 Punitive damages by prosecutions or courts Terms of imprisonment

8 -strengths & weaknesses Strengths Fast access to addresses of counterparts/contact persons List of focal points List of all participants List of emergency contact details for main European airports Weaknesses Not any

9 -strengths & weaknesses Establishment of a separate EUTR-sector on the TWIX platform with special EUTR-focal points Fast data exchange between CITES- and EUTR-authorities Lists of competent EUTR-authorities//contact data? CITES structure not suited for EUTR Another platform: CIRCA (European Commission) for non-public documents
