Below is an exerpt from this outline:
Intentional Introductions
Actions Planned
The Council will undertake development of a
comprehensive
screening system for evaluating intentionally
introduced non-native
species. The purpose of the system will be to
assure, upon full
implementation, that non-native species which have
not previously
been imported will not be intentionally introduced
in the United
States unless the risk of establishment and harm
has been
evaluated and determined to be acceptable. The
system should be
fully implemented by January 1, 2007.
*Introduction of non-native propagative plants or seeds for any purpose
(e.g., horticulture or botanical gardens) within the continental United
States (Department of Agriculture).
