European Commission consultation on a dedicated legislative instrument on invasive alien species


The European Commission is preparing a dedicated legislative instrument on invasive alien species. In preparation of this instrument, the European Commission is now seeking views on the more specific choices to be made when establishing this instrument. The European Commission has therefore launched a “consultation on a dedicated legislative instrument on invasive alien species”. All citizens and organisations are welcome to contribute to this consultation which is in the format of a questionnaire. Contributions are particularly sought from stakeholder organisations and Member States.

The questionnaire can be found at: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/consultations/invasive_aliens.htm
Preparatory documents are available from: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/invasivealien/index_en.htm
