A prioritised list of invasive alien species to assist the effective implementation of EU legislation

Original language description

Effective prevention and control of invasive species generally relies on a comprehensive, coherent and representative list of species that enables resources to be used optimally. European Union (EU) Regulation 1143/2014 on invasive alien species (IAS) aims to control or eradicate priority species, and to manage pathways to prevent the introduction and establishment of new IAS, it applies to species considered of Union concern and subject to formal risk assessment. We developed a simple method to systematically rank IAS according to their maximum potential threat to biodiversity in the EU. We identified 1,323 species as potential candidates for listing, and evaluated them against their invasion stages and reported impacts, using information from databases and scientific literature. Of these, 900 species fitted the criteria for listing according to IAS Regulation. We prioritised 207 species for urgent risk assessment, 59 by 2018 and 148 by 2020, based on their potential to permanently damage native species or ecosystems, another 336 species were identified for a second phase (by 2025), to prevent or reverse their profound impacts on biodiversity, and a further 357 species for assessment by 2030. We propose a systematic, proactive approach to selecting and prioritising IAS for risk assessment to assist European Union policy implementation.
