The Management Authority may grant a certificate of introduction from the sea only if it is satisfied that the following conditions are met —
that the Scientific Authority considers that the introduction from the sea will not be detrimental to the survival of any species listed in Parts 1 or 2 of the Schedule in any part of its range and that there are no other material conservation objections to the introduction of the specimen;
in the case of a specimen of a species listed in Column I of Part 1 of the Schedule, that the specimen will not be used for primarily commercial purposes;
that the introduction will not exceed any annual or other quota for the introduction from the sea of specimens of that species that the Management Authority may have adopted;
in the case of a live specimen, that the proposed recipient is equipped to house and care for it suitably and that it will be handled so as to minimise the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment; and
that the specimen has not been obtained in contravention of any law, including any international treaty or convention or foreign law.
A certificate under subsection (1) may, on the advice of the Scientific Authority, specify a total number of specimens that may be introduced from the sea pursuant to the certificate during such period not exceeding the period of validity of the certificate as is stated in the certificate.
