Article 11 Validity of used import permits and of the certificates referred to in Articles 47, 48, 49, 60 and 63

1. Copies for the holder of used import permits shall cease to be valid in the following cases:

(a) where live specimens referred to therein have died;

(b) where live animals referred to therein have escaped or have been released to the wild;

(c) where specimens referred to therein have been destroyed;

(d) where any of the entries in boxes 3, 6 or 8 no longer reflects the actual situation.

2. The certificates referred to in Articles 47, 48, 49 and 63 shall cease to be valid in the following cases:

(a) where live specimens referred to therein have died;

(b) where live animals referred to therein have escaped or have been released to the wild;

(c) where specimens referred to therein have been destroyed;

(d) where any of the entries in boxes 2 and 4 no longer reflects the actual situation.

3. Certificates issued in accordance with Articles 48 and 63 shall be transaction-specific unless the specimens covered by such certificates are uniquely and permanently marked.

The management authority of the Member State in which the specimen is located may also, in consultation with the relevant scientific authority, decide to issue transaction‐specific certificates where it is considered that there are other factors relating to the conservation of the species that militate against the issuance of a specimen-specific certificate.

4. The certificates referred to in Article 48(1)(d) and Article 60 shall cease to be valid where the entry in box 1 no longer reflects the actual situation.

Such documents shall, without undue delay, be returned to the issuing management authority which, where appropriate, may issue a certificate reflecting the required changes in accordance with Article 51.
