Species name: Egyptian goose Alopochen aegyptiacus Member State proposing the RA: Poland Criterion for listing Evidence that the criteria for listing are met (a) they are found, based on available scientific evidence, to be alien to the territory of the Union excluding the outermost regions The species is native to Africa – central and south. (b) they are found, based on available scientific evidence, to be capable of establishing a viable population and spreading in the environment under current conditions and in foreseeable climate change conditions in one biogeographical region shared by more than two Member States or one marine subregion excluding their outermost regions Egyptian goose populations are established in Europe in the following countries: United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Cyprus, Denmark, Poland. (c) they are, based on available scientific evidence, likely to have a significant adverse impact on biodiversity or the related ecosystem services, and may also have an adverse impact on human health or the economy The negative ecological impact of waterfowl introductions on native species may occur in the form of: a) hybridization with other goose and duck species, b) competition for food with other bird species, aggression towards other birds, c) competition for nesting sites with other goose and duck species, d) introduction of diseases (eg. avian influenza). (d) it is demonstrated by a risk assessment carried out pursuant to Article 5(1) that concerted action at Union level is required to prevent their introduction, establishment or spread Concerted action at the Union level is required, because introduction of measures only at the Member State level will not cause the borders seal. Even if part of the Member States start to eliminate these species from the environment, new specimens are likely to disperse from the neighbouring countries, which would not eliminate the species. So measures provide only by one or a few Member States are ineffective in that situation. (e) it is likely that the inclusion on the Union list will effectively prevent, minimise or mitigate their adverse impact Outcome As it is said above – only measures provided at the Union level could be effective in case of that species.
