I would like to share a good experience, a practical one, that we had in Laos.About using the convening power of the EU to influence policy dialogue with the government,especially about illegal wildlife trade.Laos over the recent years has been increasingly subject to scrutiny under the CITES mechanism,the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.Therefore, there were some risks of Laos suffering trade sanctions.Not only casting a bad light on Laos and how it was promoting illegal wildlife trade.Also showing how weak the rule of law was and how poorly coordinated their actions were.So, the EU, together with other international partners, namely the UK but also Germany,and the US, we brought together a consultative group to coordinate actions and support policies.
