The European Commission has produced a draft regulation on Invasive Alien Species that provides a framework for action to prevent, minimise and mitigate the adverse impacts of Invasive Alien Species on biodiversity and ecosystem services. It proposes coordinated action, focusing resources on priority species and on increasing preventive measures, including countering intentional or unintentional introduction and release, a early warning and rapid response system, and managing spread.
The European Commission has published an In-depth Report on Environmental Citizen Science (December 2013) as part of its Science for Environmental Policy programme. Refers to natural history museums a number of times.
