Abstract To implement Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 on the prevention and management of the in-
troduction and spread of invasive alien species, an action plan for the prevention and man-
agement of unintentional introduction and spread of invasive alien species needed to be de-
veloped by EU member states. This report presents the procedure for drawing up the first
German action plan and its contents.
The action plan is based on a previous analysis of pathways of introduction and spread of
invasive alien species which are to be regarded as priority for Germany. For each priority path-
way, a literature review was performed to propose possible actions, which were further de-
veloped, assessed and substantiated with the help of bilateral talks with experts from all sec-
tors involved. Based on a criteria catalogue, altogether 24 measures were selected for the
action plan. The focus of the measures is to raise awareness among the public and affected
parties and to minimize the contamination, for example of goods, vehicles and equipment, by
invasive alien species. 19 different sectors will be involved in implementing the measures. In
addition to 20 measures specific to single pathways, four measures across sectors and path-
ways were developed to allow an effective implementation. The draft measures went through
a multi-stage participation and consultation process with the federal ministries involved, a
consultation with the federal states and a public participation, which ensured broad ac-
ceptance of the content of the action plan.
The first action plan is an important tool in nature conservation for the prevention of biological
invasions in Germany and was published in the federal Gazette on 9 August 2021 with an an-
nouncement dated 21 June 2021. The present BfN publication also lists further measures that
could subsequently be included after subsequent review in future action plans in order to
prevent the unintentional introduction and spread of invasive species even more effectively.
