Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS)
The European Commission adopted a Communication on establishing a Shared Environmental Information System for Europe to improve and streamline the European system for collecting, analysing and reporting environmental information. This Communication sets out an approach to modernise and simplify the collection, exchange and use of the data and information required for the design and implementation of environmental policy, according to which the current, mostly centralised systems for reporting are progressively replaced by systems based on access, sharing and interoperability. The overall aim is to maintain and improve the quality and availability of information required for environmental policy, in line with better regulation, while keeping the associated administrative burdens to a minimum.
