Article 14

1. If, in the light of the surveillance provided for in Article 11, Member States deem it necessary, they shall take measures to ensure that the taking in the wild of specimens of species of wild fauna and flora listed in Annex V as well as their exploitation is compatible with their being maintained at a favourable conservation status. 2.

Such measures may also include in particular: — regulations regarding access to certain property, — temporary or local prohibition of the taking of specimens in the wild and exploitation of certain populations, — regulation of the periods and/or methods of taking specimens, — application, when specimens are taken, of hunting and fishing rules which take account of the conservation of such populations, — establishment of a system of licences for taking specimens or of quotas, — regulation of the purchase, sale, offering for sale, keeping for sale or transport for sale of specimens, — breeding in captivity of animal species as well as artificial propagation of plant species, under strictly controlled conditions, with a view to reducing the taking of specimens of the wild, — assessment of the effect of the measures adopted.
