Imports: mainly reptile skins and skin products, dried plants and plant derivatives of Annex D species.
Exports: primarily live, captive bred Columba livia exported for commercial purposes.
Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides for the control of trade in some species that are not listed in the Appendices to CITES; such species may be listed in Annexes A, B or D. Monitoring of trade in these species is entirely dependent on reporting by the Member States of the European Union. As such, candidate country trade is not included in this section.
Imports
Three Annex A or B taxa were imported in 2011, the majority of transactions consisting of live Trachemys scripta elegans imported for scientific purposes.
EU-reported imports of non-CITES Annex A and B species in 2011. All trade was direct.

EU imports of Annex D animal taxa principally comprised reptile skins and skin products, the majority of which were reported without a source specified; as in 2010, the primary reptile species in trade were Homalopsis buccata, Elaphe carinata and E. radiata. Trade in live animals was recorded for birds (2 species), reptiles (13 species), amphibians (7 species) and fish (2 taxa), with trade in Physignathus cocincinus and Pterapogon kauderni at levels in excess of 5000 individuals.
Large volumes of Annex D dried plants and plant derivatives were also imported, the majority of which were wild-sourced and a notable proportion reported without a source specified. The principal plant taxa in trade were Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Harpagophytum procumbens and Harpagophytum spp. Trade was principally for commercial purposes or reported without a purpose specified.
