Dear Friends
As a main stakeholder representing European grass-root organizations, APK analyzed the report from the Institute from European Environmental Policy
TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO EU STRATEGY ON INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES (IAS)
with Recommendations on policy options to minimise the negative impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity in Europe and the EU.
As we all know Invasive alien species (IAS) are non-native species whose introduction and/or spread outside their natural past or present ranges poses a threat to biodiversity. They are indeed a serious problem, also in Eastern Europe. However I was not able to find any specific mention of the problem in EU Eastern Europe. In addition at page 7 it is mentioned:
“stakeholder consultations formed an important element for seeking broader input and providing updates on work in progress. The main fora through which government, scientific, professional, industry and NGO stakeholders were engaged included”. It is not clear which ngos were consulted and whether grass-root organizations were involved in the study.
We shall ask the Institute from European Environmental Policy fuerther details on this issue.
IAS is a serious problem which needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
We have received reports from Romania and Moldavia on this problem but found no mention on them in the report.
Let’s hope we receive further clarification on this problem.
