SEIS principles
On 1st of February 2008, the Commission adopted a Communication on SEIS (1). In it
the principles that SEIS will be based on are described as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Information should be managed as close as possible to its source;
Information should be collected once, and shared with others for many purposes;
Information should be readily available to public authorities and enable them to
easily fulfil their legal reporting obligations;
Information should be readily accessible to end-users, primarily public authorities
at all levels from local to European, to enable them to assess in a timely fashion
the state of the environment and the effectiveness of their policies, and to design
new policy;
Information should also be accessible to enable end-users, both public authorities
and citizens, to make comparisons at the appropriate geographical scale (e.g.
countries, cities, catchments areas) and to participate meaningfully in the
development and implementation of environmental policy;
Information should be fully available to the general public, after due consideration
of the appropriate level of aggregation and subject to appropriate confidentiality
constraints, and at national level in the relevant national language(s); and;
Information sharing and processing should be supported through common, free
open standards.
