The following may access the General Animal Unit Services: all researchers from the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, those from other universities and public and private entities who so request, in accordance with these regulations the regulations governing SGIs . Each Animal Unit will make some "Regulations for Use" of the Animal Unit services at the relevant Campus available to interested parties, including the facilities available. It should be recalled that each Animal Unit on the three university campuses of the UPV/EHU is fitted out differently and so there are, therefore, some differences in the internal regulations governing operation. Requests for animals or for the use of Animal Unit services will be dealt with in the order in which they are received, and must be recorded in the corresponding register or request form file which is available at each Animal Unit. The order in which requests are dealt with may be altered owing to technical reasons or in order to carry out urgent work that has been duly justified by the person in charge of the service. Priority for services outside the UPV/EHU shall not exceed 30% of the weekly time during which the service is in operation. When the work carried out by an Animal Unit entails a substantial contribution in the course of research by a research group or project, the relevant publications will mention the use of such services Rates for using the different equipment will be those that are annually approved by the Research Committee. All services rendered (both internal and external) will be invoiced via the Accounting Dept. at the UPV/EHU or via budgetary procedures, in accordance with the rates established. Laboratory animals will be handled in accordance with the technology corresponding to each species, and always within the scope of the legal regulations in force. The advice given by personnel from the Animal Unit will be taken into account for such purpose. This activity will be governed by the Regulations for Use of services of each Animal Unit at the University of the Basque Country-EHU.
