Draft regulations relating  to the import and release of alien organisms 
Laid down by Royal Decree of xx.xx.2010 under sections 28, 31, 65–67 and 69–75 of the Act of 19 
June 2009 No. 100 relating to the management of biological, geological and landscape diversity 
(Nature Diversity Act).  
 
Chapter I. Purpose, scope, defini tions and competent authority 
 
Section 1 – Purpose  
  
The purpose of these regulations is to  prevent the import and release of 
organisms that have or may have adverse  impacts on biological or landscape 
diversity.   Section 2  – Substantive and geographical scope  
  
These regulations apply to the im port and release of living or viable 
organisms.  
In the case of plants for release
1 in gardens, parks and other cultivated areas, 
the provisions of these regulations concer ning special permits will apply if the plants 
are likely to spread beyond such areas. In t he case of the release of foreign tree 
species, these regulations will apply to pur poses that do not come within the scope of 
the Regulations of xx.xx.xxxx No. xx. 
No permit is required under these regulations  for the import of terrestrial plants 
or the release of Norwegian tree species. No r is a permit required for the import or 
release of biological control agents fo r which an import permi t has already been 
granted in or under ot her legislation.  
No permit is required for the import and release of specified livestock.  
The regulations apply to Norwegian l and territory, including river systems, and 
to Norwegian territorial waters.   Section 3  – Definitions 
  For the purposes of these regulations, the following definitions apply: 
a) alien organism: an org anism that does not belong to  a species or population 
that occurs naturally in an area; 
b) import: movement across a land border  with a neighbouring state or to land 
from areas that lie outsi de the geographical scope of the Nature Diversity Act; 
c) internal control system: systematic meas ures to ensure that import or release 
is planned, organised and carried out in accordance with the provisions set out 
in the regulations; 
d) project owner: both the person that actually imports or releases organisms 
under these regulations, and the person that is responsible for the activities to 
which the permit applies; 
e) foreign tree species: a tree species, va riety or provenance that is not within its 
natural past or present distribution range in Norway;  
f) release: release or intentional dischar ge of organisms or the disposal of such 
organisms as waste into the environment, or into a closed system from which 
escape is not impossible; 
                                           
 
1 Note: in this context, ”release” in  practice means planting or sowing g) ecological risk: the risk that an introduced organism may have adverse 
impacts on natural ecosystems, nativ e species or genotypes, or may be a 
vector for species (parasites and pat hogenic organisms) that may be harmful 
to biological diversity in Norway. 
   Section 4 – Competent authority   
  
The Directorate for Nature Management  is the competent authority under 
these regulations.  
The Directorate for Nature Managem ent may delegate authority under these 
regulations wholly or partl y to the county governors.  
  
Chapter II. Requirements rela ting to import and release 
 
Section 5 – Due care requirement, notification, etc 
  
Any person that is responsible for rel easing living or viable organisms into the 
environment shall meet the specific requi rements relating to due care set out in 
section 28, first paragraph, of the Nature Diversity Act. 
Any person that initiates an activity or pr oject that may result  in the spread or 
release of living or viable organisms bey ond their natural range shall take such 
measures as are mentioned in secti on 28, second paragraph, of the Act. 
If damage is caused to biological divers ity or there is a risk of damage to 
biological diversity as a result of the re lease or unintentional discharge of alien 
organisms, the person responsible shall i mmediately notify the competent authority 
under these regulations, and take measures  in accordance with sections 69 and 70 
of the Act, unless such duty to notify the authorities and take measures is prescribed 
in another statute.   
      Section 6 – Requirement to hold a permit  
  
Unless otherwise prescri bed, the import and release of organisms require a 
permit from the competent authority.  
Without a permit from the competent authority, no person may release:  
a) organisms belonging to species or subs pecies that do not occur naturally in 
Norway or organisms that do not alr eady occur naturally in an area;  
b) wildlife belonging to species, subs pecies or populations that do not already 
occur naturally in the district; 
c) organisms, except for t hose belonging to a native popul ation, to the sea or a 
river system unless a permit has been grant ed under section 4 of the Act of 17 
June 2005 No. 79 relating to aquaculture (t he Aquaculture Act). The phrase 
“belonging to a native popul ation” means that the organisms are descended 
from the original local genetic population of t he release area. 
The competent authority may, unless other wise follows from section 7, first 
paragraph, List III, prescribe t hat a permit is required to re lease specified plants in gardens, parks and other cultivated areas if the plants are likely to spread beyond 
such areas.  Section 7 – Exceptions from the requirement to  hold a permit and prohibitions against 
import and release  
 
The competent authority may pr escribe the following lists: 
List I – organisms for which no permit is required for import for specified 
purposes. The list applies only to the import of organisms that are not to 
be released to the environment and that present a minimum risk of 
escape; List II - organisms it is  prohibited to import;  
List III - organisms it is  prohibited to release;  
List IV – organisms for which no permit is required for release. 
The competent authority sha ll be notified of the impor t of organisms included 
on List I, see section 15. The labelli ng and packaging requirements set out in 
sections 12 and 13 also apply to the impor t of organisms included on List I.  
Lists II and III include organisms whos e import or release is prohibited 
because these organisms have or may have adv erse impacts on biological diversity. 
Organisms that are included on List II and III may not be  offered for sale or 
distributed in any other way.   
Chapter III. Applications a nd processing of applications 
 
Section 8 – Applications  
  
Applications shall be submitted to t he competent authority on the prescribed 
form and be sent to the competent author ity at the latest one month before the 
planned date of import or release. 
An application may only be submitted by a natural person over 18 years of age 
or by an enterprise. Children under 16 years of age shall not have independent 
responsibility for organisms under these regulations.  
 Section 9 – Requirements relating to applications    
An application shall include the follo wing information on the applicant and the 
organism to which it applies: 
a) the name, address and telephone number of the pr oject owner and exporter, 
and the project owner’s business ent erprise organisation number;  
b) the scientific name, any Norwegian or  English name, and classification of the 
organism;  
c) the country of origin of the organism; d) the purpose of the import or release;  
e) the number of individuals; f) the date or period when import or  release is to take place;  
g) the stage of the organism’s  life cycle, its biology and nutritional requirements, 
and its natural geographi cal distribution; 
h) any earlier experience of the import or release of the organism in Norway or 
other countries, and other documentation t hat is relevant to an evaluation of 
possible adverse impacts on biological diversity; i) documentation that an ecological ri sk analysis has been carried out, including: 
i. evaluation of adverse impacts on biological diversity, including 
the organism’s viability and reproductive capacity in Norway,  
ii. dispersal ability under natural conditions in Norway, 
iii. possible impacts on other species,  
iv. impacts at ecosystem level, and 
v. genetic or ecological impacts on other closely related organisms 
or prey organisms;  
j) plans for and documentation of an inter nal control system, including measures 
to prevent escape, among other things  routines for waste management, see 
sections 16 and 22; 
k) contingency plans for any accidents. Applications for release shall in addition contain information on the site and size of 
the area (in decares) to which the applicat ion applies, a map clearly demarcating the 
area involved, and any known contiguous or  nearby occurrence of the organism to 
which the application applies. In an app lication for the releas e of organisms, the 
project owner shall describe the measures  that will be initiated to prevent their 
spread.  
The competent authority may issue further guidelines relating to safety measures 
for closed systems and on the duty to maintain an internal control system.   Section 10 – Processing of applications  
 
The competent authority will process app lications and assess whether they 
meet the requirements set out in section 9. If an applicat ion lacks information or the 
results of investigations that are necessa ry for making a decisi on, the application will 
be returned to the project owner. The competent authority may obtain further 
information and risk assessments if this is considered to be necessary. Costs that 
accrue in connection with obtaining informati on and carrying out investigations shall 
be borne by the project owner if an overall evaluat ion of the circumstances indicates 
that this is not unreasonable.  
A permit may be issued if the requirem ents of these regulations are met. A 
permit may not be issued if there is reason to  believe that the import or release will 
have adverse impacts on biological diversity. 
In the absence of adequate information on the impacts the release of an 
organism may have on biological diversity, t he precautionary princi ple shall be used 
as a basis in deciding whether a permit may be granted.  
A permit may be issued subject to the conditions considered necessary to 
achieve the purpose of these regulations.  
If an application applies to several di fferent organisms, these shall be 
assessed separately and together.  
If there is the legal aut hority to permit import and release, the competent 
authority may issue general permits for spec ified organisms on certain conditions, for 
specified purposes and for a limited period of time.  
Copies of any permit issued under this pr ovision shall be kept by the project 
owner until the conditions attached to the permit have been met.   Section 11 – Alteration or revocation of permits  
 The competent authority may cancel or amend the conditions of a permit 
granted in accordance with section 10, or  set new conditions, and if necessary 
revoke the permit, cf section 67 of the Nature Diversity Act.  
Chapter IV. Packaging, labelling and transport
