answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK is leading global efforts to close legal domestic ivory markets that can contribute to poaching and the illegal wildlife trade. The UK does not authorise the sale of, or other commercial trade in, raw elephant ivory of any age. We have recently consulted on proposals to go further and ban all ivory sales in the UK subject to limited exemptions. At the EU Environment Council meeting on 5 March the UK, alongside France, called on the EU and its Member States to ban, as a first step, the commercial trade in raw ivory within the EU as soon as possible.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The UK supports the European Commission’s guidance, issued in May 2017, which recommended that, as of 1 July 2017, EU Member States should suspend issuing re-export certificates for raw ivory from the EU except in exceptional cases. This is in line with UK policy which has been in place over a decade.</p><p> </p><p>The European Commission has recently consulted to gather information and views on ivory trade within the EU to help inform what further steps the EU might take regarding ivory trade. The UK Government has not responded to this public consultation, as in April 2017, we responded to a European Commission questionnaire to EU Member States examining options for possible restrictions on ivory trade in and from the EU.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 16/03/2018 12:23:18 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2018 answer text <p>On 3 April the Government confirmed that we will implement a total ban on the sale of elephant ivory in the UK with narrow and limited exemptions. We intend to ban elephant ivory as it is the most commonly-found and traded form of ivory. We are aware of some concern that a ban on the sales of elephant ivory could lead to displacement of poaching to other ivory-bearing specifies. We would want to consider the evidential basis for this as well as the CITES listing for other ivory species prior to further legislative action.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 23/04/2018 16:49:41 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
