HomePromotion of good practices for national environmental information systems and tools for data harvesting at EU level
Väljaande metaandmed
For Europe, the state of the environment is crucial for quality of life. Therefore, information on the environment is highly relevant not only for public authorities responsible for creating the proper conditions but also for citizens. This has been acknowledged worldwide in the Aarhus Convention and, specifically in case of Europe, the European Union has transposed and implemented rights on access to environmental information by way of adopting the Public Access to Environmental Information (PAEI) Directive. Together with the Public Sector Information (PSI) Directive and the INSPIRE Directive for an infrastructure for spatial environmental data, this constituted the regulatory framework to actively disseminate environmental information. It is expected that this framework for environmental transparency will be supported by approximately 181 EU reporting obligations across 58 items of current enforceable legislation related to the protection of the environment. Gathering information for environmental monitoring of air quality, biodiversity, water management, human health, etc. is done at all levels of administration. The challenge is providing clear insight for assessing the state of the environment at the EU level based on information that is generated at local, regional and national level in the Member States. This requires management of information flows and means that all data on the environment that is collected, processed and reported must be accessible and disseminated to inform the various user groups, including public authorities and the general public. At present, numerous environmental information systems (EIS) are fulfilling this role at various scales. Streamlining information flows will help avoid duplication and redundant reporting and reduce unnecessary administrative burdens on public authorities. Efforts to streamline reporting obligations under different relevant pieces of legislation promise to contribute to this as well.
