Table 9: Cases of illegal traffic which have been closed in the
reporting year
Table 9 seeks listing the cases
of illegal traffic which have been closed in the reporting year. In that
regard, the term "closed" means that either the court has taken a
final decision on a fine or prison or that an administrative fine has been
issued.
The Basel Convention provides
that each Party is to introduce appropriate national/domestic legislation to
prevent and punish illegal traffic (Article 9 paragraph 5) and to take appropriate
measures to implement and enforce the provisions of the Convention (Article 4
paragraph 4).
