21.8.2012 [ EN_| Official Journal of the European Union L 22331 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 757/2012 of 20 August 2012 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein ('), and in particular Article 19(1) thereof, After consulting the Scientific Review Group, Whereas: 1 Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the intro- duction of certain species into the Union in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore,  implementing  measures  for  such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regu- lation (EC) No 865/2006 of 4 May 2006 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (3). A list of species for which the introduction into the Union is suspended was established in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 828/2011 of 17 August 2011 suspending the introduction into the Union of specimens of certain species of wild fauna and flora (3). On the basis of recent information, the Scientific Review Group has concluded that the conservation status of certain species listed in Annexes A and B to Regulation (EC) No 338/97 will be seriously jeopardised if their introduction into the Union from certain countries of origin is not suspended. The introduction of the following species should therefore be suspended: Canis lupus (hunting trophies) from Mongolia and Tajik- istan; Ursus arctos (hunting trophies) from Kazakhstan; Profelis aurata, Polemaetus bellicosus, Terathopius ecaudatus and Varanus albigularis from Tanzania; Callosciurus erythraeus, Sciurus carolinensis and Sciurus niger (live specimens) from all States; Chamaeleo gracilis (wild specimens) from Ghana and Togo; 61, 3.3.1997, p. 1. 0J L 0] L 166, 19.6.2006, p. 1. 0J L 211, 18.8.2011, p. 11.

The Scientific Review Group has also concluded that, on the basis of the most recent available information, the suspension of the introduction into the Union of the following species should no longer be required: Falco cherrug from Armenia, Iraq, Mauretania and Tajik- istan; Saiga tatarica from Kazakhstan and Russia; Callithrix geoffroyi from Brazil; Amazona autumnalis from Ecuador; Ara chloropterus from Argentina and Panama; Ara severus from Guyana; Aratinga acuticaudata from Uruguay;
