Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) As expenditure on implementing the Regulation will primarily be incurred by the Member States, it must be made possible for the Member States to receive targeted support from the European Union through existing or new European Union financial instruments, the amounts of which must be proportionate to the tasks imposed by the Regulation. On the basis of the principle of equal bearing of public burdens in this field, particular attention needs to be paid to countries beyond the European Union’s borders, whose expenditure in connection with invasive alien species may be substantially greater than that of countries within the Union is likely to be.
