In a July 29,2010 press release, the World Customs Organization announced a recent seizure by Pakistani officials of 90 kilograms of heroin in a container shipment bound for Europe. This seizure is the largest to date in a number of significant seizures made by the Port Control Unit in Karachi since the team was created under the auspices of the joint UNODC-WCO Container Control Programme (CCP). Units of the CCP are trained by experts from WCO Member Customs administrations with the support of UNODC personnel to profile containers on the basis of WCO risk indicators. The initial sites for CCP implementation in Pakistan were the container terminals in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest and busiest seaport and Port Qasim but now include an additional seven inland container terminals.

On July 23, 2010, the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora published the export quotas for caviar and other sturgeon products agreed to by the Caspian States for 2010. The 2010 quotas were agreed by Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation and Turkmenistan during a meeting held in Tehran. The quota year for export of caviar and sturgeon meat runs from March 1, 2010 to February 28, 2011, in order to reflect the fishing season. The quantities that can be exported are lower than in 2008, when export quotas were last published. The countries that share the Black Sea and Lower Danube sturgeon populations (Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia) and the Heilongjiang/Amur River population (China and the Russian Federation) have not yet informed the CITES Secretariat about their quotas for this year. In 2009, the lack of agreement between the five Caspian countries resulted in a suspension of wild caviar imports from those countries.
