Candidate countries (re-)exported high volumes of reptiles, fish, invertebrates and plants in 2010. Turkey and Croatia accounted for all of the high volume (re-)exports from candidate countries, as FYR Macedonia and Iceland had not submitted an annual report for 2010 at the time of writing (October 2012) and Montenegro did not report any exports in 2010.
Species/term combinations for which candidate countries’ reported (re-)exports exceeded 1000 units in 2009. * indicates species which did not meet the high volume threshold in 2009.

| Overview of high volume (re-)exports by candidate countries in 2010 |
- Exports were dominated by live plants of the genera Galanthus and Cyclamen, all of which were wild-sourced and (re-)exported from Turkey to the Netherlands for commercial purposes
- The top plant species in trade was G. woronowii, accounting for two thirds of live plant (re-)exports
- 50% of the live plants were exported directly from Turkey, with the remainder (all G. woronowii) originating in Georgia and re-exported via Turkey
- All trade in live Testudo graeca comprised captive-bred animals exported directly from Turkey to the EU for commercial purposes
- All Anguilla anguilla bodies were wild-sourced and exported directly from Turkey to Austria for commercial purposes
- All live A. anguilla were of pre-Convention origin and were re-exported by Croatia from an unknown origin country to the Netherlands for commercial purposes
- All live Hirudo medicinalis were wild-sourced and exported directly from Turkey for commercial purposes, primarily to Germany (40%) and France (32%).
