Draft amendments to the Ordinance of 10 September 2008 on the Handling of Organisms in the Environment |
Tóm tắt |
Since 2008, it is prohibited in Switzerland to handle, i.e. to deliberately use, 14 invasive alien plant and animal species (or groups of species) in the environment. Exempt from the ban are measures to control these species and the handling of therapeutic products, food and animal feed. In order to bring legislation in line with the current state of scientific knowledge and thus to better protect human, animal and plant health as well as biodiversity against the threats posed by invasive alien plants, the prohibition shall be extended to eleven other plant species (or groups of species). In addition to this, by means of the draft project, a ban on marketing 27 invasive alien plant species will be introduced. Their sale as well as their import will be prohibited. Thus the marketing of a total of 49 invasive alien plant species (or group of species) will be banned. The draft amendments implement Switzerland's obligations under the CBD. Similar restrictions exist in the EU.
