1 Invasive Alien Species
Working Group 2 – Early Warning and Rapid Response Tasks and issues 3 February 2011

2 Scoping document EWRR Introduction Aim of the working group:
to provide advise and expertise to the Commission to formulate opinions and recommendations Aim of the scoping document: Frame the discussion, outline areas where expertise sought Scoping document based on: 3 September stakeholder feedback + written input from stakeholders study Shine et al. (2010), EEA-study (2010), Nobanis-recommendations (2010), draft JRC-report (2011)

3 Scoping document EWRR Introduction 3

4 Scoping document EWRR Tasks Horizontal questions
2.1 – Data Centre to support EU IAS Policy 2.2 – Surveillance, inspection, monitoring to support EU IAS Policy 2.3 – EU Early Warning and Rapid Response system 2.4 – Financing EWRR 2.5 – Communication and awareness raising for EWRR Horizontal questions Collate expertise Explore structures 4

5 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.1 – Data centre to support EU IAS Policy
5

6 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.1 – Data centre to support EU IAS Policy
Objective? Provide data and information to support IAS-policy Notification system for new invasions Register administrative documents Others? Main data sources? Research (e.g. Alarm, Pratique,…) IAS information systems (Daisie, IS-Compendium, Nobanis, GISD, EPPO,…) Surveillance and monitoring results (see task 2.2) Administrative information (inspections, permits, certificates, risk assessments, quick screenings, …) 6

7 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.1 – Data centre to support EU IAS Policy
Specific questions Essential versus desirable information? AS in EU, IAS in EU, IAS outside EU, EU-species IAS outside EU? Minimum information per species? Cooperation with JRC technical meeting on 2-3 March 2011? General questions Lessons from plant and animal health? Ex-ante: TRACES – risk management tool (AH), Aquaculture register Ex-post: Notification through Europhyt (PH) or ADNS (AH) Lessons from MS? Lessons from other data centres? How to build on which existing provisions? 7

8 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.2 – Surveillance, inspection, monitoring to support EU IAS Policy 8

9 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.2 – Surveillance, inspection, monitoring to support EU IAS Strategy Objective Ex-ante surveillance and inspection for prevention and early warning Ex-post monitoring of effectiveness and side-effects Others? Three tier approach: suitable? General surveillance Risk-oriented surveillance + pathway inspection Ex-post monitoring Minimum requirements? Missing elements? Other approach? 9

10 (citizen science) 10

11 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.2 – Surveillance, inspection, monitoring
Specific questions What are the needs for harmonisation (e.g. standards)? Role of certification (cf. S&PM-legislation)? How are responsibilities distributed: EU, MS, stakeholders? Role of Food and Veterinary Office? How to survey very vulnerable areas (e.g. outermost regions)? How could « citizen science » contribute? Cooperation with CBD AHTEG-meeting on trade in pet, aquarium and terrarium species, live food and live bait? Cooperation with EEA: Eye on the Earth to watch IAS? General questions Lessons from plant and animal health? From other policies? Lessons from MS? How to build on which existing provisions: HD, BD, WFD, MSFD, Aquaculture regulation, plant health, animal health, ballast water? 11

12 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.3 – Early Warning and Rapid Response 12

13 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.3 – Early Warning and Rapid Response
Objective Quick action to prevent escalating costs When / how to establish early warning and rapid response? Black list species Non-black list species – option 1 Non-black list species – option 2 (more intensive EU follow-up) Other options? 13

14 14

15 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.3 – Early Warning and Rapid Response
Specific questions What do we expect from a Black List? (advice to working group 1) Do we need a Standing Committee on IAS? What are the criteria to establish potential harmfulness? Containing potential harmful species versus eradicating harmful species? Do we need an overall contingency plan? When to discontinu rapid response? General questions: Lessons from animal and plant health? From other policies? Lessons from MS? How to build on which existing provisions? 15

16 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.4 – Financing EWRR Specific questions
How to finance data centre and general surveillance? How to finance risk oriented surveillance and pathway inspections? Areas adjacent to entry points Areas adjacent to establishments potentially holding IAS Import and trade (cf. plant health, animal health) Transport (e.g. ballast water) How to finance rapid response (incl. monitoring effectiveness)? How to finance contingency planning (incl. monitoring side effects) after intentional release? (cf. Aquaculture regulation) General questions: Lessons from animal and plant health? From other policies? Lessons from MS? How to build on which existing provisions? 16

17 Scoping document EWRR Task 2.5 Awareness and Communication for EWRR
Specific questions Distribution of responsibilities between EU, MS, stakeholders? Role of specific stakeholders? Traders in pets and ornamental species Zoos and aquaria etc How to support training and capacity building? How to communicate during rapid response? General questions Lessons from animal and plant health? Lessons from MS? Public alert systems – interactive portal (Sweden, Ireland) 17

18 Scoping document EWRR Tasks
Who wants to be the task leader? The back-up task leader? 2.1 – Data Centre to support EU IAS Policy 2.2 – Surveillance, inspection, monitoring to support EU IAS Policy 2.3 – EU Early Warning and Rapid Response system 2.4 – Financing EWRR 2.5 – Communication and awareness raising for EWRR Expected output report with recommendations report to be publicly available on CIRCA 18
