Accordingly, "India Ž Rana tigerina and Rana hexadactyla" should be deleted from paragraph 3 of Notification to the Parties No. 800, to reflect the fact that the Standing Committee's recommendation to suspend imports no longer applies.
However, as India does not permit export of specimens of these species, the Parties should continue not to permit imports of such specimens from this country and are requested to inform the Secretariat of any attempt to import such specimens.
