A certificate shall only be granted when the following conditions have been met: (a) a Scientific Authority of the State of introduction advises that the introduction will not be detrimental to the survival of the species involved; (6) a Management Authority of the State of introduction is satisfied that the proposed recipient of a living specimen is suitably equipped to house and care for it; and (c) a Management Authority of the State of introduction is satisfied that the specimen is not to be used for primarily commercial purposes. Article IV. REGULATION OF TRADE IN SPECIMENS OF SPECIES INCLUDED IN APPENDIX II 1. All trade in specimens of species included in Appendix II shall be in accord ance with the provisions of this Article. 2. The export of any specimen of a species included in Appendix II shall re quire the prior grant and presentation of an export permit. An export permit shall only be granted when the following conditions have been met: (a) a Scientific Authority of the State of export has advised that such export will not be detrimental to the survival of that species; (6) a Management Authority of the State of export is satisfied that the specimen was not obtained in contravention of the laws of that State for the protection of fauna and flora; and (c) a Management Authority of the State of export is satisfied that any living speci men will be so prepared and shipped as to minimize the risk of injury, damage to health or cruel treatment. 3. A Scientific Authority in each Party shall monitor both the export permits granted by that State for specimens of species included in Appendix II and the actual exports of such specimens. Whenever a Scientific Authority determines that the ex port of specimens of any such species should be limited in order to maintain that species throughout its range at a level consistent with its role in the ecosystems in which it occurs and well above the level at which that species might become eligible for inclusion in Appendix I, the Scientific Authority shall advise the appropriate Management Authority of suitable measures to be taken to limit the grant of export permits for specimens of that species.
