CITES paper question

EGAR

Who issues CITES papers? Also, does a Tortoise (Greek) need them?

Our man in Havana

Greek Tortoises come under cites II.

The animal will come with the paperwork if needed - do not buy any cites species without the paperwork.

If a Greek tortoises is app II mate it wouldn't need paperwork,App.II have free movement in Europe. Only App.1 animals like hermann tortoise need cites paperwork.

Thanks for the info SCI - I checked on the Greek tortoise but could not find what needed paperwork.
