INSPIRE - Annex III Theme Species Distribution - Report on invasive alien species (Period 2015 - 2018)

This dataset was reported by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/1143/oj).

The European Union has adopted a law which seeks to prevent, minimise and mitigate the adverse effects of invasive alien species (IASs) on its biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as on human health and the economy.

Article 24.1 requires Member States to report every six years about invasive alien species. The reporting guidelines are established in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1454 of 10 August 2017 specifying the technical formats for reporting by the Member States pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2017/1454/oj).

This reporting obligation is an Eionet core data flow
