The general objective of the project is to create the necessary scientific and administrative tools for the efficient management of invasive species in Romania, in accordance with the EU Regulation 1143/2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species. The general objective promotes actions that contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2020, the Framework of Priority Actions for Natura 2000, the National Strategy and the Action Plan for Biodiversity Conservation 2014-2020 and take into account the concrete needs for the protection of biodiversity in Romania. Concretely, the proposal contributes to the achievement of Objective 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2020 by identifying and prioritising invasive alien species in Romania and the pathways of introduction, control and eradication of priority species. It will also create specific tools for managing pathways to prevent the rapid introduction and identification of new invasive alien species. At the same time, it will contribute to the proper management of Natura 2000 sites in Romania, the objective of the Natura 2000 Priority Action Framework, by combating invasive species. This proposal will identify invasive species, measures to combat or integrate these species. These measures, which will be included in the action plan to address the pathways of introduction of invasive alien species in Romania, can be applied by the managers of protected areas by accessing European or national funds. Last but not least, the project proposal will contribute to the implementation of the National Strategy and Action Plan for Biodiversity Conservation 2014-2020, specifically the point Control of invasive species. A database of invasive species and the necessary tools to prevent intentional and unintentional introduction of alohtone species, rapid detection and identification of new possible invaders prior to entry into the national territory, rapid response to invasive alohtone species entry and management of naturalised species and expansion of their area for eradication, limitation and control will be created. The project proposes adequate management of invasive species in Romania, in accordance with EU Regulation 1143/2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species. In this way, the project falls within the categories of activities related to Priority Axis 4 – Environmental protection through biodiversity conservation measures, air quality monitoring and decontamination of historically polluted sites – Specific Objective (SO) 4.1 “Increasing the degree of protection of biodiversity through appropriate management measures and restoring degraded ecosystems”, namely the implementation of a type C action – Actions to complement the level of knowledge
