8. The regulations mean that the species listed in the annex to the Ordinance on invasive alien species are subject to a ban on, among other things, intentionally introducing the species into the country and releasing them on the market or into the environment.

The county administrative board is given the power to decide on and take eradication and restoration measures. For species that are already established in the country, the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency shall develop appropriate management programmes and measures to prevent further spread and reduce their distribution.

The provisions of Chapter 3, Section 1 of the proposed Ordinance mean that it will be prohibited to intentionally introduce the species in question into the country, keep or breed the species, even in cases where this takes place in closed storage, transport the species, except to facilities involved in eradication, place the species on the market, use or exchange the species, allow the species to reproduce, grow or be cultivated, even in closed storage, or release the species into the environment. Exceptions to the prohibitions apply in certain cases (Chapter 3, Sections 2–9). The species covered by the national list are specified in the appendix to the regulations.

9. Invasive alien species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and related ecosystem services globally. In addition to the species included in the Union list, there are also other invasive alien species that cause or are likely to cause significant adverse effects in Sweden. These species threaten and compete with other plant and animal species through their distribution, destroying their habitats and resulting in significant costs to society. The regulations aim to prevent such species from becoming established or spreading in Sweden. The possibility for EU Member States to establish a national list of invasive alien species of Member State concern follows from Article 12 of 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.
