SEISSEIS

T i th ll ti h d fTo improve the collection, exchange and use of environmental data and information across Europe, the European Commission proposed a solution through its p p p gFebruary 2008 Communication entitled ‘Towards a Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS)’. SEIS aims to create an integrated web enabled EU widecreate an integrated web-enabled, EU-wideenvironmental information system, by simplifying and modernizing existing information systems and processes. EEA is a leading proponent of SEIS, plays a crucial role in the collection and provision of environmental information and manages or participates in many ongoing Europeanand manages or participates in many ongoing European initiatives contributing to the implementation of SEIS principles.

Information should be:

d l ibl t it- managed as close as possible to its source;- collected once, and shared with others for many purposes;purposes;- readily available to easily fulfil reporting obligations;- easily accessible to all users- easily accessible to all users.- accessible to enable comparisons at the appropriate geographical scale, and citizen participation;geographical scale, and citizen participation;- fully available to the general public, and at the national level in the relevant national language(s).g g ( )- Supported through common, free open software standards
