: what about "mainland UK"? A "continental UK", no longer an island? And it's a term in everyday use in UK, not coined for the sake of argument.[http://www.fun2make.co.uk/shippingcharges.aspx]

habituelle
L'autorité habituelle, par opposition à l'autorité spéciale qui gèrerait la zone franche.
En fait, le problème n'est pas géographique, mais juridictionnel :)

: it would be more "l'autorité centrale", or maybe "les autorités supérieures"; it's a viable indirect solution, but only in this case

anglais term (edited):
mainland licensing Authority
l'autorité de tutelle de l'administration centrale
An option?
"we can refer to the definition of the mainland licensing Authority for such activity.."
"... nous pouvons reprendre les définitions établies par l'autorité de tutelle de l'administration centrale..."
finding a "one-fit-all" translation for "mainland" is too much of a casse-tête.
This "mainland" could be just some biggish island (Iceland), or really a whole continent (Australia).
What's relevant here is that it's an authority above the one running the free-zone, so the "mainland" part could be by-passed/reformulated without significant loss of meaning.

but
Mainland France = France métropolitaine, not France continentale.
not to forget
Mainland UK = Royaume-Uni continental?
if you are looking for a "one fit all" solution, you need a different one. If there is any.
