A fee of 2,931 DKK is charged for issuance of an authorization, and an annual fee of 587 DKK will be charged hereafter, per form.

You must also have authorization from the Danish Animal Experiments Inspectorate if you will be:

• cloning and genetically modifying vertebrate animals;

• using cloned and genetically modified vertebrate animals for experiments;

• breeding cloned and genetically modified test animals;

• breeding test animals or supplying test animals to a testing company or a testing institution;

• undertaking experiments on captured, wild vertebrate animals; or

undertaking experiments on animal species which are considered to be endangered species under Annex I to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and Annex A to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein.

The Danish Animal Experiments Inspectorate has to give you an answer no later than 40 business days after receiving a complete and correct application.
