Environmental monitoring - 03.09.2007
Towards effective environmental monitoring (seminar: 25-26/10)
The Dutch institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) organises, in cooperation with the Association of provinces of the Netherlands (IPO), a seminar on the monitoring EU environmental legislation 'Towards Effective Monitoring", in Brussels on 25-26 October 2007.
The seminar will aim to share experiences on how to comply efficiently with EU regulations. It also intends to exchange information on harmonization of monitoring activities among regional, national and the European bodies and to explore options for efficiently improving reporting activities, data accessibility and data comparability.
Who should participate?
Officials with experience in horizontal monitoring representing EU member states, regions, representatives from the European Commission, the European Environmental Agency, Eurostat and the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.
Background information
Member states, regions and the European Union have a large number of monitoring obligations. Monitoring is required to develop, implement and evaluate environmental policies. Collectively, the obligations represent a large administrative burden. The question arises if it is possible to lighten this burden by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of monitoring systems, e.g. by better harmonization and organization of monitoring and reporting activities among regional, national and European levels.
