<p>The requirement of EU Directive 2010/63/EU that non-human primates cannot be sourced
from the wild for breeding within a self-sustaining colony is already implemented
for Marmosets, as stated in the UK legislation.</p><p>The UK legislation presently
requires that all non-human primates used in research are bred specifically for research,
so wild caught animals cannot not be used for procedures.</p><p>Establishments that
have a licence to breed other primate species must have a strategy in place to increase
the proportion of primates bred from primates bred in captivity.</p>
