Overview of EEA SEIS Country visits 2007-2009 Status October 2009
Objectives of SEIS Country Visits 1. To provide a discussion platform for SEIS with Eionet, to raise awareness among Eionet and external stakeholders and to mobilize existing country networks around SEIS 2. To obtain feedback on proposed SEIS functions and structure 3. To learn about your systems and your situation 4. To identify best practices related to SEIS implementation 5. To analyse the current readiness of Eionet countries for SEIS implementation 6. To discuss the way forward and the needs for future developments
In November 2009 EEA MB asked for an assessment of the SEIS CV Preliminary conclusions (1/2) Readiness for SEIS implementation is well balanced across Eionet member countries Majority of the national environmental information systems are already being developed in line with SEIS principles Awareness of the opportunities offered by modern information and communication technology (ICT) improved The visits are significantly contributing to improved networking and the further development of the concept of SEIS The visits provided valuable input to the development of the EEA strategy 2009-2013 and influenced organisational changes
Preliminary conclusions (2/2) Main obstacles for implementation relate to organisational and governance issues Information management is often still sectoral with limited efforts for integration Links between SEIS, Inspire and GMES are not well understood Added value of having access to European e-environment information services within a national context is still often vaguely understood (win-win situation)
Centralised and decentralised environmental information systems
Use of Reportnet (CDR) for reporting to different stakeholders Note: non EU countries are not obliged to report to DG Environment
Presence of indicator-based reporting systems for public information
Presence of an English language section on the environmental web sites
Participation in near real time reporting on Air Quality
Participation in near real time reporting on Bathing Water
