• Development of an E-library providing electronic access to CITES and EU documents;
• Preparation of reports for each meeting of the EC Scientific Review Group as well as the European Community's annual report to CITES;
• Development of EPIX, a mechanism to enable CITES Management Authorities to exchange permit data electronically.
