The Second Technical Consultation on the Suitability of the CITES Criteria for Listing Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species was held in Windhoek, Namibia, from 22 to 25 October 2001. The Consultation reviewed a draft report prepared by the FAO Secretariat entitled "A Background Analysis and Framework for Evaluating the Status of Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species in a CITES Context" and went on to formulate a proposal on revisions of the CITES listing criteria and process for listin g. This proposal, for consideration by the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade for formal submission to CITES, was written in the form of specific responses to CITES Notification to the Parties No. 2001/037 of 31 May 2001. The Consultation also emphasized the principle of using the best scientific information available in each proposal for listing. It agreed that the existing process within CITES for scientific evaluation of proposals for listing, transfer and de-listing should be strengthen ed and that there should be more explicit involvement in evaluation of proposals of fisheries agencies and regional fisheries management organizations, and a greater role for FAO.
