The European Environment Agency
• ... is the EU body dedicated to providing sound, independent information on the environment.
• ... is a main information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public.

Assessment of ground-level ozone within EEA Member Countries with focus
on long-term trends
EEA Technical Report prepared by ETC/ACC (2009):
Sverre Solberg, Jan Horalek, Jan Eilof Jonson, Steinar Larssen & Frank de Leeuw
In general, ambient air measurements in urban as well as in rural areas do not show any
downwards trends in ground-level ozone in Europe over the last decade, although
anthropogenic O3 precursor emissions in Europe have been reduced significantly.

NRT AQ data providing added value NRT AQ data providing added value and facilitating re-useand facilitating re-use
Principles of NRT data exchange:
• Control: Data providers remain in control of data provision and use. (Not for compliance reporting.)
• Visibility: Visibility to data providers (branding and their services).
• Quality control: Data received in real-time by EEA will be filtered for data outside pre-set limits and null or error values.
• Added value services: EEA aims to provide added value services back to the data provider organisations and facilitate re-use (SEIS).

Towards a Shared Environmental Information Towards a Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS)System (SEIS) – What is it? – What is it?
A collaborative initiative of the European Commission, EEA and Member Countries.
Aiming at a modern system for organising environmental information, based on INSPIRE/SEIS principles a.o.:
• “Data stored as close to source as possible”
• “Produce once, use many times”• “Easy accessible”
Overall objective: improve knowledge base for environmental policy; reduce administrative burden.
S. Dimas, Feb. 2008
“Better decisions from local to European level need better and more timely information, based on more efficient monitoring and reporting systems”
21
EMEP and EEA NRT initiativesEMEP and EEA NRT initiatives The feasibility study aims to identify and suggest a strategy for
handling of NRT AQ data is to be implemented and operated in the future for EMEP and EEA needs taking into experience respective strategies and established capacities as well as SEIS principles.
Funding from EEA, project is progressing well, if somewhat delayed. Steering meeting on June 29 with countries and EMEP.
Aims – avoid duplication, burden on countries, add value, align with SEIS.
Need to improve link from outcome of feasibility work to EMEP monitoring strategy currently under development.
Need to improve collaboration between EMEP and EEA to ensure more continued follow-up and use of complementarities and make synergies in relation to monitoring. Need to work together to improve sustainability issues and address gaps.

GMES - EEA coordination roleGMES - EEA coordination role
• The Commission Communication "GMES: we care for a safer planet" (COM(2008)748 of 12 November 2008);
• The Competitiveness Council conclusions on GMES: "Towards a GMES programme" (document 16722/08 of 2 December 2008).
Proposal for an EU earth observation programme named GMES,
Proposal for GMES initial operational funding 2011–2013,
Proposals formalising new coordinating roles for EEA / ESA.

What is EEA doing in GMES?What is EEA doing in GMES?
1. Following and steer GMES implementation and governance processes;
2. Provide certain elements of GMES services;
3. Coordinate insitu data (NRT and validated);
4. Make use of services and federate user requirements.
25
FP7 project - main objectivesFP7 project - main objectives
Exploring and determining methods to enable networks to provide the required in-situ data for GMES;
Looking for ways to consolidate and prioritise the needs identified for GMES core services in consultation with established GMES constituencies;
Explore ways and propose approaches to integrate in-situ assets into long-term sustainable frameworks;
Provide proofs of concept of operational in-situ architecture by devising solutions for a number of data sets as case studies or ‘quick-wins’ in cooperation with pre-operational FP7 projects, EC bodies, and institutions responsible for in-situ data provision.
