If you wish to operate a semen collection centre and/or an embryo collection team that is to participate in intra-Community trade (EU authorisation), you will need an authorisation before starting your activity.

If you want to operate an EU-approved semen collection centre, an embryo collection unit/production unit and/or a sperm depot, you will need a licence before you start working. You can apply for this at the State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (LAVES).

An insemination centre is a germinal material establishment for the collection, treatment, storage and delivery of semen for artificial insemination.

An embryo collection unit is a germinal material establishment for the collection, preparation, storage and delivery of oocytes and embryos.
