First step will be to provide each INSPIRE Contact Point on national level with contact names of
relevant institutions/person involved in those activities (as started by EEA/INSPIRE Team)
Draft an overview of which data is used for which purpose regarding monitoring
Suggest annual meeting of environmental reporters and NCP
