Where the use of products derived from invasive alien species [F1 of special concern] is unavoidable to advance human health, [F4 the appropriate authority] may also include scientific production and subsequent medicinal use within their permit system.

2. [F5 The appropriate authority may] issue the permits referred to in paragraph 1 for activities carried out in contained holding that fulfil all of the following conditions:

(a) the invasive alien species [F1 of special concern] is kept in and handled in contained holding in accordance with paragraph 3;

(b) the activity is to be carried out by appropriately qualified personnel as laid down by the [F6 appropriate authority];

(c) transport to and from contained holding is carried out under conditions that exclude escape of the invasive alien species as established by the permit;

(d) in the case of invasive alien species [F1 of special concern] that are animals, they are marked or otherwise effectively identified where appropriate, using methods that do not cause avoidable pain, distress or suffering;

(e) the risk of escape or spread or removal is effectively managed, taking into account the identity, biology and means of dispersal of the species, the activity and the contained holding envisaged, the interaction with the environment and other relevant factors;

(f) a continuous surveillance system and a contingency plan covering possible escape or spread is drawn up by the applicant, including an eradication plan. The contingency plan shall be approved by the [F7 appropriate authority]. If an escape or spread occurs, the contingency plan shall be implemented immediately and the permit may be withdrawn, temporarily or permanently.

The permit referred to in paragraph 1 shall be limited to a number of invasive alien species and specimens that does not exceed the capacity of the contained holding. It shall include the restrictions necessary to mitigate the risk of escape or spread of the species concerned. It shall accompany the invasive alien species to which it refers at all times when those species are kept, brought into and transported within [F2 Great Britain].

3. Specimens shall be considered to be kept in contained holding if the following conditions are fulfilled:

(a) the specimens are physically isolated and they cannot escape or spread or be removed by unauthorised persons from the holdings where they are kept;

(b) cleaning, waste handling and maintenance protocols ensure that no specimens or reproducible parts can escape, spread or be removed by unauthorised persons;

(c) the removal of the specimens from the holdings, disposal or destruction or humane cull is done in such way as to exclude propagation or reproduction outside of the holdings.

5. [F9 The appropriate authority may] withdraw the permit at any point in time, temporarily or permanently, if unforeseen events with an adverse impact on biodiversity or related ecosystem services occur. Any withdrawal of a permit shall be justified on scientific grounds and, where scientific information is insufficient, on the grounds of the precautionary principle and having due regard to national administrative rules.

2. Within three years of [F50 IP completion day and in respect of] the adoption of the [F35 list of species of special concern], [F51 the responsible authorities, acting jointly, must] establish and implement one single action plan or a set of action plans to address the priority pathways it has identified pursuant to paragraph 1. Action plans shall include timetables for action and shall describe the measures to be adopted and, as appropriate, voluntary actions and codes of good practice, to address the priority pathways and to prevent the unintentional introduction and spread of invasive alien species into or within [F2 Great Britain].

[F54 (c) ensure appropriate checks at [F55 Great Britain’s] borders, other than the official controls pursuant to Article 15.]

[F56 5. The responsible authorities must review the action plans established under paragraph 2 at least every six years.]
