(15) Some of the species that are invasive in the Union may be native in some of the Union’s Outermost Regions and vice versa. In the Communication from the Commission on “The outermost regions: an asset for Europe”18 it was recognised that the remarkable biodiversity of the outermost regions calls for the development and implementation of measures to prevent and manage invasive alien species in those regions as defined by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union taking into account European Council Decisions 2010/718/EU of 29 October 2010 amending the status with regard to the European Union of the island of Saint-Barthélemy19 and 2012/419/EU of 11 July 2012 amending the status of Mayotte with regard to the European Union20. Therefore all the provisions of these new rules should apply to the Union’s Outermost Regions except for provisions relating to invasive alien species of Union concern which are native to those regions. In addition, to allow for the necessary protection of the biodiversity in such regions, it is necessary that the concerned Member States draw upin all appropriate cases the Member States concerned draw up and update, as a complement to the list of invasive alien species of Union concern, specific lists of invasive alien species for their Outermost Regions to which these new rules should also apply. __________________ 18 COM(2008) 642 final. 19 OJ L 325, 9.12.2010, p. 4. 20 OJ L 204, 31.7.2012, p. 131.
