Part 1 Interpretation and Application I. “Hybrid animal” (雜交動物) 1. Hybrid animals that have in their recent lineage one or more specimens of species included in Appendix I or Appendix II shall be subject to the provisions of this Ordinance just as if they were full species, even if the hybrid concerned is not specifically included in the Appendices. 2. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix I, the hybrids shall be treated as specimens of species included in Appendix I (and shall be eligible for the exemptions of Article VII of the Convention when applicable). 3. If at least one of the animals in the recent lineage is of a species included in Appendix II, and there are no specimens of an Appendix I species in such lineage, the hybrids shall be treated as specimens of species included in Appendix II. 4. The words “recent lineage” shall generally be interpreted to refer to the previous four generations of the lineage. II. “Appropriate and acceptable destination” (適當和可接受的目的地) Where the term “appropriate and acceptable destination” appears in an annotation to the listing of a species in Appendix II with reference to the export of or international trade in live animals, this term shall be defined to mean a destination where the relevant authority of the place of import is satisfied that the proposed recipient of a living specimen is suitably equipped to house and care for it sustainably and the relevant authorities of the place of import and the place of export are satisfied that the trade would promote in situ conservation. (Amended L.N. 114 of 2018; L.N. 22 of 2021) III. “Artificially propagated” (人工培植)Regarding the definition of “artificially propagated” 1. The following definitions for terms are used—(a) “under controlled conditions” means in a non-natural environment that is intensively manipulated by human intervention for the purpose of plant production. General characteristics of controlled conditions may include but are not limited to tillage, fertilization, weed and pest control, irrigation, or nursery operations such as potting, bedding or protection from weather; (Amended L.N. 36 of 2011)(b) “cultivated parental stock” means the ensemble of plants grown under controlled conditions that are used for reproduction, and which must have been, to the satisfaction of the relevant authority of the exporting place— (i) established in accordance with the provisions of the Convention and relevant domestic laws and in a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild; and (ii) maintained in sufficient quantities for propagation so as to minimize or eliminate the need for augmentation from the wild, with such augmentation occurring only as an exception and limited to the amount necessary to maintain the vigour and productivity of the cultivated parental stock; and (Amended L.N. 36 of 2011) (c) “cultivar” means an assemblage of plants that— (Amended E.R. 5 of 2021) (i) has been selected for a particular character or combination of characters; (ii) is distinct, uniform, and stable in these characters; and (iii) when propagated by appropriate means, retains those characters. (Added L.N. 36 of 2011) 2. The term “artificially propagated” shall be interpreted to refer to plant specimens—(a) grown under controlled conditions; and(b) grown from seeds, cuttings, divisions, callus tissues or other plant tissues, spores or other propagules that either are exempt or have been derived from cultivated parental stock. 3. Plants grown from cuttings or divisions shall be considered to be artificially propagated only if the traded specimens do not contain any material collected from the wild. 4. For the populations of Appendix I species, despite paragraphs 2 and 3 of this item, specimens are to be treated as artificially propagated if, for the taxon involved— (Amended L.N. 22 of 2021)(a) (i) establishment of a cultivated parental stock presents significant difficulties in practice because specimens take a long time to reach reproductive age, as for many tree species;(ii) the propagules are collected from the wild and grown under controlled conditions within a range state, which must also be the place of origin of the propagules;(iii) the relevant authority of that range state has determined that the collection of propagules was legal and consistent with relevant domestic laws for the protection and conservation of the species; and(iv) the relevant authority of that range state has determined that—(A) collection of the propagules was in a manner not detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild and in accordance with Resolution Conf. 16.7 (Rev. CoP17) on non-detrimental findings; and(B) allowing trade in such specimens has a positive effect on the conservation of wild populations;(b) at a minimum, to comply with subparagraph (a)(iv)(A) and (B) above—(i) collection of propagules for this purpose is limited in such a manner such as to allow regeneration of the wild population;(ii) a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances is used to establish plantations to serve as cultivated parental stock in the future and become an additional source of propagules and thus reduce or eliminate the need to collect propagules from the wild; and (Amended L.N.36 of 2011)(iii) if appropriate, a portion of the plants produced under such circumstances is used for replanting in the wild, to enhance recovery of existing populations or to re-establish populations that have been extirpated; and(c) in the case of operations propagating Appendix I species for commercial purposes under such conditions they are registered with the Secretariat. (Amended L.N. 22 of 2021)Regarding grafted plants 5.
