the aim of

Directive 2006/88/EC provides that, by way of dero-
gation from the authorisation requirement laid down in
that Directive, Member States may require only the regis-
tration by the competent authority of installations other
than aquaculture production businesses where aquatic
animals are kept without the intention of being placed
on the market, put and take fisheries and aquaculture
production businesses supplying local consumers.

The risk of the spread aquatic animal diseases posed by
installations, put and take fisheries and aquaculture
production businesses which, by way of derogation
from Article 4(1) of Directive 2006/88/EC, are registered
by the competent authority, varies depending on the
their nature,
and location. Member
States should therefore decide to what extent information
on those installations, put and take fisheries and aqua-
culture production businesses should be included in the
Internet-based information page.
