Modification de l'article 9, al. 1, de la Loi fédérale sur la circulation des espèces de faune et de flore protégées (RS 453) (Amendment to Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Federal Law on circulation of protected species of fauna and flora (RS 453)).

The legal basis is created for a prohibition on the importation into Switzerland of species of fauna and flora the specimens of which can be easily confused with species listed in Appendices I to III to the CITES Convention, and which are protected domestically in another country and are shown to be threatened. This measure aims to keep those species of fauna and flora from entering international trade via Switzerland.
