Article 5 – paragraph 1
1. By way of derogation from Article 4(2)(b), the competent authority may refuse to recognise a breed society that complies with the requirements set out in Part 1 of Annex I where the breeding programme of that breed society would compromise: - the preservation or the genetic diversity of purebred breeding animals entered, or registered and eligible for entry, in the breeding book established for that breed by a breed society that has already been recognised in that Member State, where it leads to a loss of efficiency in terms of monitoring any increase of inbreeding and managing genetic anomalies, as a result of a lack of coordinated management and of exchange of information on the genetic heritage of the breed; - the effective implementation of an existing recognised society's improvement programme for the same breed, leading to a significant loss of effectiveness in terms of the genetic progress expected; - the achievement of the objectives of the Nagoya Protocol and of the Convention on Biological Diversity in relation to biodiversity conservation; or the objectives of the EU Biodiversity strategy to 2020.
Amendment 238 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 9 – paragraph 2 – point b
Article 9 – paragraph 2 – point b
(b) the approval of a further breeding programme would fragment the population of purebred breeding animals available in that Member State to an extend that would compromise the preservation or the genetic diversity of that breedt that: (i) for preservation programmes, there would be a threat to the preservation or the genetic diversity of purebred breeding animals entered, or registered and eligible for entry, in the breeding book established for that breed by a breed society that has already been recognised in that Member State, owing to a loss of efficiency in terms of monitoring increases in inbreeding and managing genetic anomalies as a result of a failure to coordinate management and exchange information on the genetic heritage of the breed; or (ii) for genetic improvement programmes, without prejudice to Article 18, such approval would result in a loss of efficiency in terms of the genetic progress expected, monitoring increases in inbreeding and managing genetic anomalies as a result of a failure to coordinate management and exchange information on the genetic heritage of the breed, or result in breeding developments that depart from or are inconsistent with the characteristics specified for the breed in that Member State.
