Article IV. REGULATION OF TRADE IN SPECIMENS OF SPECIES INCLUDED IN APPENDIX II 1. All trade in specimens of species included in Appendix II shall be in accord ance with the provisions of this Article. 2. The export of any specimen of a species included in Appendix II shall re quire the prior grant and presentation of an export permit.
