Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
(8) At Union level, the proposal for a new Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on Animal Health11 include provisions on disease agents that cause animal diseases, At Union level, the proposal for a new Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on Animal Health11 include provisions on animal diseases, and the new Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on protective measures against pests of plants12 provides rules for pests of plants, and Directive 2001/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 March 2001 on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms and repealing Council Directive 90/220/EEC13 sets out the regime applicable to genetically modified organisms. Therefore, the new rules on invasive alien species should align and not overlap with those Union acts and shall not apply to the organisms targeted by those acts. __________________ 11 12 13COM(2013) 260 final.

Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) In order to ensure compliance with the rules of the World Trade Organisation and ensure the coherent application of these new rules, common criteria should be established to perform the risk assessment. Those criteria should use, when appropriate, existing national and international standards and should encompass different aspects of the characteristics of the species, the risk and modes of eintryoduction into the Union, the negative economic, social and biodiversity impacts of the species, the potential benefits of uses and the costs of mitigation to weight them against the negative impacts, as well as an approximate quantified forecast of the environmental, economic and social damage costs at Union level demonstrating the significance for the Union, so as to further justify action. In order to develop the system progressively and build upon the experience gained, the overall approach should be evaluated after five years.

(3a) ‘Invasive alien species of Member State concern’ means invasive alien species other than invasive alien species of Union concern, for which a Member State considers that the adverse impact of their release and spread, even where not fully ascertained, is of significance for its territory, and which therefore require action to be taken at the level of each Member State concerned;

Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 a (new)
Article 6a National lists of invasive alien species of concern to the Member State Each Member State may introduce national lists or keep existing ones in order to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive alien species of concern to that Member State, applying to these species within its territory any or all of the prohibitions referred to in Article 7(1). 2. Member States shall ban any intentional release into the environment, that is to say the process by which an organism is placed into the environment, for any purpose, unless a risk assessment shows that there is no risk to biodiversity and the competent authority of the Member State issues a permit for such release. 3. Each Member State shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the invasive alien species of concern to it. 4. Any Member State may cooperate with neighbouring EU countries in taking measures to control invasive alien species of concern to it.

Amendment 227 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 10
Restrictions on the intentional release of invasive alien species of Member State 1. Member States shall ban any intentional release into the environment, that is the process by which an organism is placed into the environment, for any purpose, without the necessary measures to prevent its escape and spread, of invasive alien species other than invasive alien species of Union concern for which Member States consider, on the basis of scientific evidence, that the adverse impact from their release and spread, even where not fully ascertained, is of significance on their national territory ('invasive alien species of Member State concern'). 2. Member States shall inform the Commission and the other Member States of the species it considers as invasive alien species of Member State concern. 3. The competent authorities of Member States may issue authorisations for certain intentional releases of invasive alien species of Member State concern, provided that the following conditions have been fully taken into account: (a) there are no alternative non-invasive species that can be used to obtain similar benefits; (b) the benefits of the release are exceptionally high in comparison to the risks of damage of the species concerned; (c) the release will include risk mitigation measures so as to minimise the impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services as well as on human health and the economy; (d) adequate surveillance is in place and a contingency plan is drawn up to eradicate the species to be applied in case the damage caused by the species is considered by the competent authority to be unacceptable. 4. Any authorisation for the introduction of alien species for their use in aquaculture shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 708/2007.Article 10 deleted concern
