16ETaxon assessed by another jurisdiction as to its risk of extinction in Australia

16E Taxon assessed by another jurisdiction as to its risk of extinction in Australia (1) This section applies if, under the law of another jurisdiction, a taxon of flora or fauna has been assessed in relation to its eligibility to be listed under that law as threatened with extinction and a determination is made— (a) that the taxon is at risk of extinction in Australia in a particular category of threat; or (b) that the taxon is not at risk of extinction in Australia in a particular category of threat; or (c) that the taxon is at risk of extinction in Australia in a different category of threat to the category of threat that currently applies to the taxon. (2) If the Committee is of the opinion that the assessment of the taxon of flora or fauna was conducted in accordance with the common assessment method, the Committee must decide to make a final recommendation under section 16F in relation to the taxon that is the same as any recommendation arising from the assessment. If the Committee does not make a final recommendation under section 16F in relation to a taxon referred to in subsection (1) because the Committee is of the opinion that the assessment of the taxon in another jurisdiction was not conducted in accordance with the common assessment method, a nomination under section 16A could be made by a person or the Committee in relation to the taxon and in that case the assessment process in this Division would apply.
