Signs of wear. H. 5 cm Gross weight 11 g CORAL (indicated by an *) Specimen of Corallium rubrum and Hemicorallium regale (CITES Appendix IIB, pre-Convention), is not subject to French regulations (Regulation (EC) No. 338/97 of December 9, 1996, Article 2-W mc), as this coral was not harvested from the French coast. This specimen is therefore not subject to the prohibition provisions of the French Environmental Code. This specimen may therefore be sold within the European Union because the material has been processed into jewelry. However, a CITES re-export permit will be required for removal from the European Union, and the cost of obtaining it shall be borne by the future purchaser.
