Default European Import Suspensions!

Have people missed this? I haven't seen any talk of it until today;

LINK REMOVED - NOT WORKING

Many species, in particular wild caught, although some ranched animals are now suspended from entering the EU.

Most notably;

Wild Caught Ball Pythons from Benin and Guniea.

And ALL Bosc Monitors.

If that doesn't work, try refreshing a few times! It should open a web viewable PDF.

Sure is, although half of the list is animals from Madagascar, which to my understanding, were banned already?

In my understanding, it is mainly restrictions on certain origins of animals?

Python regius for example, ALL Wild Caught animals are banned, but only ranched (Captive Farmed) from the countries of Guinea and Benin are banned. Ghana and Togo are still good to go?

it depends on the wild population of P.regius in those regions, I mean if P.regius population is endangered only in benin and guinea and not in ghana and togo (that also are main exporter regions) they would only stop exporting from those ones.
To understand why also CH babies it's enough to think that all those babies hatching into the wild will raise the number of wild specimens.

yus speaking to people now about it

a lot of the bans been enforced onto countries who have been NOT complying with exisiting cities regualtions.. so places like guinea for instance, who have been esporting cities animals, have not been doing so with the correct paperwork attached...

basically, and as we know from the brokering we do in the uk, they are tightening up on Cities at the moment, so anyone or any country who does NOT comply properly with the cities requirements, is being clamped down on

On the link you posted it says all imports of all specimens of wild Python regius are suspended only from Benin and Guinea
