I am also instructed to state that, in accordance with the Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People's Republic of China on the Question of Hong Kong signed on 19 December 1984, the Government of the United Kingdom will restore Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China with effect from 1 July 1997. The Government of the United Kingdom will continue to have international responsibility for Hong Kong until that date. Therefore, from that date the Government of the United Kingdom will cease to be responsible for the international rights and obligations arising from the application of the Convention to Hong Kong....".

De Chinese Ambassadeur te Bern heeft op 9 juni 1997 het volgende medegedeeld:

In accordance with the Joint Declaration of the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the Question of Hong Kong signed on 19 December 1984, the People's Republic of China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect from 1 July 1997. Hong Kong will, with effect from that date, become a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China.

In this connection, I am instructed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China to make the following notification:

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora done on 3 March 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the “Convention") to which the Government of the People's Republic of China deposited its instrument of accession on 8 January 1981, will apply to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region with effect from 1 July 1997. The Government of the People's Republic of China also makes the following declaration:

In accordance with Article 9 of the Convention, it designates the Agriculture and Fishery Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Management Authority; the Advisory Committee for the Protection of Rare Animals and Plant Species of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as the Scientific Authority.

The Government of the People's Republic of China will assume responsibility for the international rights and obligations arising from the application of the Convention to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.... (vertaling)

Het secretariaat deelde voorts het volgende mede

Annotations in the above lists (item 2) are to be interpreted as follows:

  • a) The abbreviation “spp." is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.

  • b) An asterisk (*) placed against the name of a species indicates that one or more geographically separate populations of that species are included in Appendix I and are excluded from Appendix II.

  • c) Two asterisks (**) placed against the name of a species indicate that one or more geographically separate populations of that species are included in Appendix II and are excluded from Appendix I.

As a consequence of the adoption of standard references to the names of the species listed in the appendices, some purely editorial changes have been introduced in the revised versions of Appendices I, II and III and, where appropriate, annotations have been included in the “Interpretation of Appendices I and II" and in the “Interpretation of Appendix III".

As the species Gracula religiosa (AVES, PASSERIFORMES, Sturnidae) was included in Appendix II at the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties, this species, included in Appendix III at the request of Thailand, will be withdrawn from Appendix III on 18 September 1997. A revised version of Appendix III of the Convention has therefore been produced. A copy of this updated appendix, valid from 18 September 1997, is also attached to the present Notification.

In overeenstemming met artikel XV, eerste lid, letter c, van de Overeenkomst zijn de wijzigingen 90 dagen na de vergadering, dat wil zeggen op 18 september 1997, in werking getreden voor alle Partijen, met uitzondering van de Partijen die een voorbehoud hebben gemaakt in overeenstemming met het derde lid van dat artikel.

In overeenstemming met artikel XV, derde lid, van het Verdrag kon elke Partij – gedurende bovenbedoelde 90 dagen – door middel van een schriftelijke kennisgeving aan de depot-Regering een voorbehoud maken ten aanzien van een of meerdere van de wijzigingen. Zolang dit voorbehoud niet is ingetrokken, wordt deze Partij beschouwd als een Staat die geen Partij is bij deze Overeenkomst wat betreft de handel in bedoelde soorten. De andere Partijen passen dan de bepalingen van artikel X van de Overeenkomst toe op de handel met de Partij die het voorbehoud heeft gemaakt.
