Objective of the consultation |
|
| |
Invasive species are species
whose introduction/spread may threaten biodiversity, crops, livestock, human
health and economy. The Commission
Communication "Towards an EU Strategy on Invasive Species"
noted that while EU instruments exist to deal with other drivers of
biodiversity loss - habitat change, climate change, overexploitation and
pollution – there is currently no comprehensive instrument at EU level to
tackle invasive species. The Environment
Council, the Committee
of Regions and the European
Social and Economic Committee all called for an effective strategy. The
Commission intends to bring forward this strategy in 2011, as a component of the post-2010
biodiversity strategy. The objective of the consultation is to obtain a
representative picture of the positions of relevant stakeholders and to
collect the views of the participants on the future strategy. |
