From 2008 onwards: “EEA, in cooperation with relevant partners (Countries, Research, NGOs , Barcelona convention network, Eionet, ETCs/RACs, Group of 4, …)and based on existing and ongoing initiatives, (SEIS, Reportnet, Inspire, Medstat, SMAP CH, …)to design a coherent indicator process and framework for regular indicator based analyses, including a “scorecard”, to compare and mesure progress”.

BUILDING
SEIS
OTHER NETWORKS
Produce a trial indicator-based report in 2009 on key priority issues for Mediterranean region
Work with Euro-Mediterranean partner countries (North Africa), building capacities and extending networks
Gradually extend SEIS to these countries in areas of water, waste, industrial emissions, etc., by connecting with relevant networks and data flowsPartnership with UNEP/MAP, link to network of statistical offices
ENP-South 2009-2012how to link with the Balkans ?

Tasks to be performed under Horizon 2020 indicators
To assess progress in de-polluting the Mediterranean Sea by:
Identifying and producing relevant
indicators in the area of Municipal Waste,
Urban Waste Water and Industrial
Emissions
Covering all Mediterranean Region
Involving both environment and statistical
networks
