Status and Trends in State Invasive Species Policy: 2002-2009 (May 2010)
Environmental Law Institute.
This report reviews developments in state laws and regulations governing invasive species in eleven states. It finds that invasive species laws and regulations are often fragmented and incomplete and have developed primarily on a species-by-species basis in response to crisis. As a result, they often fail to address potential future invaders or close off known invasion pathways. Fortunately, states have begun regulating invasion pathways and identifying species that may become invasive in the future due to climate change or other factors. States are increasingly creating interagency councils and management plans to coordinate these novel invasive species responses.

Towards an EU Strategy on Invasive Species (Dec 5, 2008)
EUROPA. European Commission.
The European Commission presented a series of policy options for developing a strategy to deal with species from abroad which are threatening European biodiversity.
