The committee that oversees1 the United Nations Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) is allowing China to import a limited quantity of ivory for the first time since the worldwide ban on its sale was imposed nearly twenty years ago. CITES says China had tightened2 measures against illegal ivory traders and could buy from four African countries where elephant population has stabilized3. Some environmentalists say China should not be given permission as it still has a huge ivory black market.

European Union fishermen are to get help worth up to three billion dollars to cope with soaring fuel prices. The EU Fisheries Commissioner4, Joe Borg, said he hoped the cash would provide short-term relief and also build a more efficient fishing fleet for the future. The package comes after a protest against the price of fuel by fishermen across Europe.
