Council Regulation (EC) No. 708/2007 concerning use of alien and locally absent species in aquaculture.

This Regulation lays down rules governing aquaculture practices in relation to alien and locally absent species in order to assess and minimize the possible impact of non-target species on aquatic habitats. The provisions concern the introduction and translocation of such species, for which a permit from the competent authority of the receiving Member State shall be required. Member States must keep a register of introductions and translocations.
