answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>Hunting trophies are generally imported directly from the source country. However, there are occasions when hunting trophies are exported via another country. An example would be when specialist taxidermy services may not be available in the source country where the trophy was hunted.</p><p> </p><p>Imports from countries which are not the source country of the hunting trophy remain subject to the same requirements to secure a permit under the EU Wildlife Trade Regulations, which are directly applicable in the UK and will become Retained EU Law in the UK after we leave the EU. All applications for permits to import hunting trophies into the UK are assessed to make sure that the import would not have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species or on the extent of the territory occupied by the relevant population of the species. Import suspensions are in place for countries where hunting of certain species is considered unsustainable.</p> answering member constituency Richmond Park answering member printed Zac Goldsmith question first answered 31/10/2019 13:40:27 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
