Parliament will vote on a resolution calling on the European Commission and EU Member States to back a ban on international trade in endangered animals or their products, such as blue fin tuna and polar bears, and to maintain an existing ban on trade in African elephants.
The resolution comes ahead of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), in Doha on March 13-25. MEPs will also ask oral questions about the EU's key strategic aims at the CITES conference.
