Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species

(asked on 11th April 2019) - View Source

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made in ensuring that musicians directly affected by restrictions on the trade and movement of products covered by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora can continue to travel between the UK and the EU post-Brexit.


This question was answered on 29th April 2019

The Government has been working closely with the music industry on this issue. The focus has been on finding ways to make it easier for musicians who are travelling with instruments which have components listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to travel easily between the UK and the EU in the event of a no deal scenario.

We have been increasing awareness of CITES Musical Instrument Certificates, which allow multiple movements of instruments across the UK border.
