codes of conduct (Box SPM.1) have limitations but they 
can be a valuable part of integrated systems to reduce the 
risk of biological invasions, when in line with relevant 
international obligations and national legislations (established 
but incomplete) {6.3.1.4(4)}. Adequately designed and 
implemented national biodiversity strategies and action 
plans are instruments to help manage biological invasions 
and mitigate the impacts of invasive alien species 
(established but incomplete) {6.1.2, 6.3.3.1}. Implementation 
of strategies could be accelerated by measuring and 
monitoring resourcing of actions, implementation processes, 
outputs and outcomes of policy management (established 
but incomplete) {Table 6.5, Box 6.3, 6.6.3}, which could also 
create a conducive policy environment for the utilization of 
environmentally sound technologies (established but 
incomplete) {6.3.3.4}.
