Towards a regular assessment & reporting process based on SEIS
UNECE/WGEMA meeting 1-2 November 2012
Ministerial Declaration
14. ….’To keep the pan-European environment under review, we decide to establish a regular process of environmental assessment and to develop the SEIS across the region. These will serve multiple policy processes, including MEAs, and include capacity-building of countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and South-Eastern Europe to monitor and assess their environment. We invite EEA and its partners to develop an outline for how these actions could be performed and to present it to the ECE Committee on Environmental Policy.’ … http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/env/documents/2011/ece/ece.astana.conf.2011.2.add.1.e.pdf
The mandate
• Keep the pan-European environment under review• Establish a regular process of environment
assessment• Develop a Shared Environmental Information
System
So that SEIS gradually develops to underpin future environment assessment and review activities
TWO time perspectives
• Short-term: 2012-2013• Medium/Long-term: 2014-2020and:• Regular monitoring & assessment of the
implementation process
SEIS and related EU policy instruments
a) SEIS communication 1/2008
c) SEIS staff working paper 6/2012 (EU internal) b) Communication on better implementation

Steps in the process so far
• Sept. 2011 –Astana Declaration• Oct. 2011 – WGEMA – first ideas on implementing the Astana
mandate • March 2012 – EEA MB – Discussing draft outline prepared for CEP• April 2012 – EU WPIEI – Discussing Astana follow up actions and
EU position to CEP meeting • April-Sept. 2012 - Comments and proposals to the draft outline • July- onwards – Dialogue with key partners (MEAs, EU, OECD,
UNEP, RECs) • October 2012 - Revised draft outline available for UNECE/CEP and
WGEMA
Other SEIS related activitiesCapacity building• ENP/SEIS - Workshops on SEIS/infrastructure and indicators
for both East and South (*)• Caspian sea- Env information system (together with
UNEP/Grid) Sept.2012• Central Asia - Aware project including SEIS national events
New SEIS projects• Central Asia – tendering closed on 1 Oct. for FLERMONECA
project (including SEIS extension); expected start 2013• Caspian – new SEIS related project for consideration for EU
funding
Relevant SEIS events
• SEIS dedicated side event in Rio –June 2012 (attended by UNECE, UNEP, CAREC and EEA members)
• Central Asia – EU panel on environment and climate change (Sept. 2012) – SEIS development endorsed as priority for cooperation in new fin. perspective 2014-2020;
• ENP/Steering Committee (21-22 Nov. Copenhagen)• Central Asia- EU –high level meeting on env. issues (to
endorse the proposed priorities 10-11 Dec. Bishkek, tbc.)• The first Eye on Earth user conference (4-6 March 2013,
Dublin)
SEIS Action Plan
• Develop the next SOER cycle in a consistent way across region, using the indicators developed with associated assessments , following DPSIR framework
• Underpin the indicators used in the next SOER by regular data flows
• Streamline the activity of existing networks towards creating building blocks in the MDIAR(K) process for regular reporting
Points for discussion
• Role of WGEMA and JTF in the process• Coordination of networks at national level• Planned deliverables and timetable• Contributions to mid term review (2013)

AQ e-Reporting ?
• A new system for reporting air quality information
• A single system for all regulatory & informative reporting
• Modernised and standards based, to make full use of computers and the internet to deliver
AutomationReliability / consistencyMedium to long-term savingsEnhanced information sharing
• All existing systems replaced as of 1 January 2014

SEIS ENPI - Cookbook
• A set of case studies collected from EEA Member and Cooperating countries and ENPI partner countries.
• A SEIS Checklist comprising a set of questions designed to assess the status of SEIS development and identify possible gaps and areas for further enhancement.
• Steps to be taken into account when planning SEIS implementation.
• Useful links.
http://www.seiscookbook.net
A Case study:
• Gives light on how to translate SEIS principles into practice
• Addresses real examples of implementation (currently 25 case studies)
• Identifies a series of services/tools that can be (re)used to meet the SEIS principles in a range of contexts
• Provides a SEIS barometer to benchmark your system / process
List of case studies
SEIS implementation plan – DG ENV
• Inter-service consultation of a EC staff working paper SEIS implementation plan
• Publication end 2012 (tbc.)• Introducing SIIFs (Structured
implementation and information frameworks)• EEA is supporting pilot SIIFs on:
• Air quality• Urban waste water treatment
