Future of <strong>EPIX</strong> in electronic permitting scenarios<br />
<strong>EPIX</strong> can provide a crucial link between the CITES e-permitting systems that are<br />
under development by many Parties and is supported by the CITES working group on<br />
e-permitting 1 . For example <strong>EPIX</strong> can:<br />
• facilitate the exchange of, and access to CITES permit data between MAs<br />
• act as a central repository of password protected data for use by MAs and Customs<br />
• allow Parties to reduce opportunities for fraud and improve validation of CITES permits<br />
and certificates<br />
In future, <strong>EPIX</strong> could:<br />
• play a crucial role in providing Parties with a means to register their data automatically<br />
with the CITES Trade Database<br />
• assist Parties with reporting obligations and increase the value of the CITES Trade<br />
Database by offering near-real time data on international trade in specimens of<br />
CITES-listed species<br />

<strong>EPIX</strong> system<br />
MAs need make only one connection<br />
to <strong>EPIX</strong>, which will facilitate multiple<br />
connections with other Parties<br />
