Where exceptional circumstances render compliance with points (c) and (d) of paragraph 1 impossible, the appropriate authority may authorise the introduction, into its territory, of ungulates of the species listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of Part 1 of Annex VI from other holdings which do not comply with the requirements laid down in those points, provided that the requirements laid down in points (a), (b) and (e) to (g) of paragraph 1 are complied with and that the following additional conditions are met:\n(a) a prior application for a permit has been made by the owner, or a natural person representing that owner, and the appropriate authority has granted such permit after having carried out a risk assessment that has indicated that the introduction of the ungulates concerned ... does not constitute an animal health risk ...;\n(b) the ungulates have been quarantined in the third country, territory or part thereof of origin under official supervision for the time necessary for them to meet the animal health conditions set out in the appropriate veterinary certificate referred to in point (f):\n(i)at a place approved by the competent authority of the third country, territory or part thereof of origin of the animals;\n(ii)in accordance with the arrangements prescribed in the permit that shall provide at least the same guarantees as those laid down in points (a), (b) and (e) to (g) of paragraph 1.\nWhere ungulates are introduced into Great Britain pursuant to the first subparagraph, they shall be quarantined in an approved body, institute or centre of destination for at least six months from the time of introduction into Great Britain, during which period the requirements provided for in Article 67 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 may be applied, and protective measures may be put in place, by the appropriate authority.\n3. The appropriate authority authorising the introduction of ungulates into its territory pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 shall inform the other appropriate authorities of such authorisation prior to the introduction of the ungulates concerned into Great Britain.",
