Imported as skins and skin products, this species was selected on the basis of high volume trade. In total, the EU imported 27 146 skins, 15 large leather products, 13 plates and eight garments; all imports were wild-sourced. With the exception of 500 skins imported directly from Chile, all imports originated in Argentina (93% of skins and all skin products directly and 5% of skins via Turkey). EU imports of wild-sourced L. griseus skins more than doubled between 2010 and 2011 (from 13 132 skins), but remained lower than levels imported in the years 2002-2008. The population of Argentina was reviewed for SRG 46 and a positive opinion was reconfirmed on 02/12/2008.
