Abstract
A new agency, the European Centre for Invasive Species Management (ECISM), should be developed with a mission to identify, assess and communicate current and emerging threats to the economy and environment posed by invasive species. ECISM would integrate all invasion related activities across Europe and target six key areas: scientific advice; coordinating surveillance; identification of emerging invasion threats; initiating responses; supporting training; and communicating to the public and stakeholders.
