It is very good question. My country become member of Washington Convence from year 2001. In the beginning, i.e. till year 2003., the CITES procedure was very simple, due to enough knowledge about all registered breeders, history of their bred, etc... So, all birds, mammals and reptiles species born in captivity, were very easy to export, i.e. to get necessary export-permits.
But, from late 2003. till today, everything changed unexpectedly. To get export-permits now, it is more than difficult. It need procedure of at least 6 months, and preparations of many different permits. Up to 18 different permits sometimes.
Actually, in the case somebody would like to import or export non-CITES species of live animals, it is highly complicate, too, and it need different longstanding papers work. For CITES species, of course, situation is terrible now. It is better to forget papers work for Appendix I species, and keep them forever, than - to loose money and nervs unnecessary. Yes, of course, it is possible to sell Appendix I species on local market over here (to some beginners in Tortoises bred), but it need great procedure and so many complication, too! And, I am not happy to give my animals to ignorants!
Regarding Appendix II species, the situation is slightly better - great papers work, so many complications, so many payments, but finaly - after few months of work, it is possible to get some export-permits surely. They are limitting number of animals, the owner like to export outside from country, but anyway, they are permitting some exports.
Then, in the case, the export-permit is ready, we came in front of one new great problem. EU Authorities do not like to accept permits from foreigh countries (i.e. from non EU countries). They are having no interest to do it, and our papers are unvaluable.
So, due to great costs in my farm everyday, I must look for oversea clients of mine, to realize some animals outside, or - better, to send some animals of mine as gift to experienced breeders. There are clients with no complicate papers work in Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, South Africa, Ukraine, Turkey and some other countries, interested in my animals.
Shortly, the breeders life is very complicate, sometimes terrible. I am expecting very soon, they will limit number of each species possible to keep in captivity, and it will crash my bred forever. You cannot expect good captive production on the base of few animals only. No, you must have enough good stock of each species, to expect very good bred of them. I am having enough experience in it, and I am sure in it!
Yours faithfully, Marco
