News from EEA
Refocusing of EEA’s work
•
Based on a strategic agreement with the member countries,
European parliament, DG Env, ESTAT and JRC EEA consolidates
resources to take the lead in five thematic areas:
air quality, climate change, water, biodiversity and land use
•
EEA provide support for the services of a data centre in five
thematic areas, development and streamlining of data flows,
establishment (where required) and running of QA/QC procedures,
development and support of indicators, production of policyrelevant information and communications with a wide variety of
audiences
•
Sectoral analyses would be embedded in the work in the five major
areas, where there would also be a specific focus on policy
effectiveness and integrated assessments
