In 2010, 128 direct export transactions involving wild-collected species originating in the EU (including EU exports originating in other Members of the European Union) were reported by the EU and 24 direct export transactions were reported by the candidate countries.

Reported By Candidate Countries
Number and percentage of direct export transactions of wild-collected CITES species reported by candidate countries in 2010, by purpose.
Exporter ReportedImporter Reported
Total species/higher taxa of wild origin exported: 27/ 4
Annex A taxa of wild origin exported: 21
Annex B taxa of wild origin exported: 9
As in 2009, the quantities exported in 2010 were small in terms of global trade in CITES-listed species. The majority of EU exports were recorded for scientific, commercial or hunting trophy purposes. Trade in species listed in CITES Appendix I/Annex A[1] was all reportedly for zoological, scientific, educational or re-introduction purposes.
Exports in 2010 of wild-collected CITES species originating in EU Member States as reported by the EU exporters (origin in parentheses if different). Quantities were rounded to one decimal place, where applicable.

Trade reported only by importing countries and not by EU Member States has been examined separately for a number of reasons:
- The trade may not have taken place due to reporting on the basis of permits issued instead of actual trade;
- Trade in Appendix I species, where an import document is required ahead of the export, may have been reported by the importing country in the year prior to the export taking place;
- There may be year-end trade where the export took place in 2009, but did not reach its destination until 2010; or
- Miscoding of transaction details by the importing country may have occurred, e.g. of the country of export, species involved, term or unit used.
EU Member States’ data were checked and permit details cross-matched where exporters’ permit details were reported. A number of the trading partners provided incomplete information on the exporters’ permit details or did not report permit numbers. During cross-checking, any transactions reported by the importer in 2010, but reported by the exporting EU Member State in either 2009 or 2011, were removed from the table below. Additional transactions were also removed from the table when it was found that the same trade was reported by both trading partners (with permit numbers and quantities matching), but a miscoding of source, purpose or term details occurred by either the importer or the exporter.
Exports of 12 mammal, 10 bird, one fish, one coral, one plant and one timber taxa were reported by importing countries but not by EU exporters in 2010.
Exports of wild-collected CITES species in 2010 originating in EU Member States as reported by the importing countries only. Quantities were rounded to one decimal place, where applicable.

Exporter ReportedImporter Reported
The EU candidate countries Turkey and Croatia reported the direct export of nine wild-collected species in 2010; all of the trade was in Appendix-II listed species. The invertebrate species Hirudo medicinalis and five plant species were mainly exported for commercial purposes. Both H. medicinalis and species of Galanthus and Cyclamen were exported in large quantities in 2010, as in previous years.

Candidate countries data were checked and permit details cross-matched where exporters’ permit details were reported. During cross-checking, any transactions reported by the importers in 2010, but only reported by the exporting candidate country in 2011, were removed from the table below. Additional transactions were also removed from the tables when it was found that the same trade was reported by both trading partners (with permit numbers and quantities matching), but a miscoding of source, purpose or term details occurred by either the importer or the exporter.
Trade in three mammal, one reptile and one invertebrate taxa were reported by importing countries but not by candidate countries in 2010.
