<p>The UK Government has been working hard to ensure we maintain continuity and minimise
disruption for those who trade and move CITES listed species after the UK leaves the
EU.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to a withdrawal agreement, current CITES controls and
procedures in place between the UK and EU27 will continue during the implementation
period. The UK will inherit the current EU Wildlife Trade Regulations, which at present
implement CITES across the EU, with necessary deficiencies corrected. On an ongoing
basis we will consider amendments necessary to continue to meet our obligations under
the Convention in a UK context.</p><p> </p><p>As a committed Party to CITES in its
own right, the UK will continue to honour its international commitments under the
Convention and implement the necessary controls accordingly.</p>
