English to Italian Bus/Financial Economics Commercio legale di avorio

Based on CITES trade data, the quantity of commercial worked ivory exported legally from the EU has been increasing in the last ten years.
Between 2012 and 2016, the yearly volume of such items has reached an average of 7500 items and 121 kg per annum. It is however noted that various data and reporting issues make it difficult to gauge the true volume and quantity of trade in worked ivory specimens.

For example, items vary in size ranging from small figures 20 cm; items may be mounted and the ** mount ** may or may not be included in the reported volume, or the ivory could be one small component of an item, for example a piano with ivory keys, a bronze figure with an ivory head or furniture with ivory inlay.
