The AEWA Secretariat had drawn the attention of the Depositary to the fact that Table 1 of the Agreement as amended during the 8th Session of the Meeting of the Parties, held from 26-30 September 2022 in Budapest, Hungary, contained listing errors for Aythya marila marila (Greater Scaup) and Ardea alba alba (Great White Egret, Western Great Egret). The Depositary, at the request of the AEWA Secretariat and with approval of the AEWA Standing Committee, transmitted the relevant pages with the following corrections through its notification no. 07/2023 of 12 May 2023:
