- This report describes in detail the design of a freshwater monitoring network proposed for improvement of quantitative assessment of water resources - aquifers, rivers, lakes and reservoirs - across Europe. The proposed network is designed to give a representative view or assessment of water types within a Member Country and also across the EEA area. It will ensure that similar types of water bodies are compared. |

- In 1992 the UN global Convention on Biological Diversity was signed in Rio de Janeiro. All parties shall follow-up the intentions of the Convention in their own activities in strategies, plans and policies. This report contains an analysis of the follow-up activities performed during 1996 by the 18 EEA Member Countries. It concludes that the follow-up process and activities were not easy for any country and that all countries are trying to develop the follow-up work in different ways. |

- This is the first annual summary report on work performed by the ETC/NC. The report summarises the main findings in 1995 and points to future work needed. The ETC/NC performed its tasks under 3 project headings : MN1 Nature Protection - general approach to assessment MN2 State and trends of biodiversity in Europe MN3 Support to the NATURA 2000 Network |
|
|
|
- The report presents the findings and the analysis of the overview and lists the title of all datasets identified by country. Not surprisingly the largest amount of data concerns mammals or birds, while other animal groups and plants or habitattypes are much less well documented. National datasets on populations and distribution of Annex II species of the Habitats Directive are shown to be very limited at present. |

|
|
- This report gives an overview of the status of the database hosted by ITE in 1995, the site selection criteria used by Member States in site descriptions and the contents in terms of information on sites, habitat types and species. It contains a proposal for a re-orientation of the database as a background for the future EUNIS, which is to be developed by ETC/NC for use both for the NATURA 2000 process and for the Agency pan-European reporting on the state of the environment. |
|
|
|
- The report for 1996 summarises the main results and points to future work needed. In 1996 the ETC/NC became increasingly involved in the Agency’s reporting tasks and in collaboration with other ETCs, but the main tasks were still continuations of work started in 1995. |

|
- An overview of air quality in Europe for 1993 is presented. The overview covers air pollution levels on the local and regional scales. The intention of such reports from the European Topic Centre for Air Pollution is to present comprehensive, annual summaries of European air pollution, covering all components of interest, all scales and trends. The precondition for presenting such summaries is that data from representative stations throughout Europe is made available and collected in a data base |
|
|
|
- This report represents an overview of the air quality monitoring practice in European in recent years. Information is based on returned questionnaires from 24 countries and national reports from 6 other countries. the report presents summaries of the spatial coverage of AQ monitoring in European, and a summary of the recent monitoring activities in Europe in international programmes. Included too are a discussion of the availabillity of data to external users in a European perspective. |
|
|
|
- The ETC/AQ continued in 1996 the progress in assessing air quality at the European level, designing and implementing the network of European air quality monitoring and advising towards harmonised use of models for the assessment and management of air quality. The various tasks performed, meetings attended and short term plans for the future are described in this report. |

- The report aims at a documentation of the current state-of-the-art of mathematical modelling of air pollutant dispersion, transport and transformation. Providing an overview of air pollution models employed (but not necessarily developed) in Europe. |
|
|
|
- This pamphlet provides an overview of the main air pollutants, health effects of Air pollution, dispersal of Air pollutants, exposure pathways and monitoring, actions to improve air quality, pollution sources, economic impacts, effects on the global environment, and what can be done to reduce them. |

|
|
- The report deals with the question of which changes should be made in the current environmental communication model so that information becomes a real tool to understand environmental problems, to orient decision-making towards the solution, and to promote sustainability. The transition phase in the move towards a new model is described as a process that moves information from passivity to activity, changes its content, and thus requires developing a new and different representation of knowledge |

- This speech was held by Mr. Domingo Jiménez-Beltrán on the occasion of the second anniversary of the EEA. The speech begins with an appraisal of the multi-national experience of writing the Dobris report for the SOFIA-conference. Then follows a brief recap of the major findings in the Dobris. This leads to the introduction of the 5EAP report, which marks a change in the direction of the EU environmental policy, from passive reporting on state of the environment to a more progressive reporting technique that include a temporal perspective and the inclusion of environmental issues in economic policy sectors. |

- STANDAT is a standardised data exchange format, developed in Denmark in the late 1980'ies to facilitate the exchange of large amounts of environmental information. The STANDAT concept has four main elements: the code list system, the file format, the organisational set-up for the administration and development of STANDAT, and the edp-based support programmes. The aim of the project is to utilise the experiences from the use of the STANDAT system for exchange of environmental edp-based data. |

- The present report is part of a package of project launched by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy for the support of the European Environment Agency (EEA). The main objective is to transfer knowledge and experience of the MIDAS project to the EEA. The idea is not the adoption of the MIDAS strategy by the EEA, but to enable the EEA to use the MIDAS project as an inspiration in its data strategic work. |
