The Council shall determine whether each protected species is also listed under SPAW and the Migratory Species Convention and, if not, whether any regional or international co-operation and assistance is desirable for the protection and recovery of the species, in which case the Council, with the approval of Cabinet, shall submit a nomination for listing under the Conventions as may be appropriate.
Within ninety days from the listing of a species in the Annex to SPAW or the Appendices to the Migratory Species Convention that is not a protected species and for which a legally effective reservation has not been entered on behalf of the Government, the Council shall determine —
whether the range of the species includes any part of the Islands; and
if so, whether there exists any permit or licence that authorises the taking of the species in the Islands.
Within thirty days of any determination under subsection (2) that the range of the species includes the Islands, the Council, with the approval of Cabinet, shall by Order add the species to Schedule 1 as follows —
if the species is listed in Annex I or II to SPAW or Appendix I or II to the Migratory Species Convention, the species shall be added to Part 1 of Schedule 1;
if the species is listed in Annex III to SPAW, the species shall be added to Part 1 or 2 of the Schedule if the Council considers this appropriate; and
in either case, the Council shall thereupon cancel any existing permit or licence relating to the species that is incompatible with its protected status.
For any species deleted from the Annexes to SPAW or the Appendices to the Migratory Species Convention, the Council shall undertake a review of the status of the species in the Islands, having regard to the considerations in section 16(4), to determine whether the species should also be deleted from Schedule 1.
