"The Commission’s proposal deals with amendments to a regulation on the use of alien species in aquaculture based on the IMPASSE project, which focused on the environmental impact of alien species. This project has produced an operational definition of a closed aquaculture facility, which tightens up and enlarges upon the definition currently in use and embodies an approach whereby the degree of risk associated with alien species could be reduced considerably. In the light of the above results, the Commission is proposing that introductions and translocations involving the use of closed aquaculture facilities be exempted from the permit requirement, thus dispensing operators from that administrative formality. As the rapporteur notes, the introduction of alien species is one of the main reasons why ecosystems are being thrown out of kilter and, along with the destruction of natural habitats, one of the biggest contributory factors implicated in global biodiversity loss. Many of these introductions into Europe’s coastal seas and inland waters are due to ‘aquaculture and stocking practices’. With this in mind, the rapporteur tabled an amendment to specify that ‘closed aquaculture facilities’ were limited to those on land, in order to reduce the possible survival of escapees. Other amendments concerned the comitology provisions."@en1
