Default Re: akta 686 grace period until 31 June 2010

I made google translate it for me but I think part of it was 'lost in translation',

Quote:
Effective July 1, 2010 any person who imports or exports or
maintain or restore species of terrestrial plants wastes without a permit
is guilty of an offense under this Act
Specially the waste part. Anyway from what I gather wow, it means everyone who maintains or own a threatened species needs a permit, regardless of where it was purchased. It seems like it applies not only to import or export but also owning. I think that this is a bit crazy and difficult to enforce... or make it difficult for hobbyists. I mean what about man made hybrids? etc.

Hope a member who is in the position to confirm and clarify this will post an update and clarification for everyone's benefit.

TTFN
