TRANSCRIPT
Why are we publishing this assessment? In November 2010, the European Environment Agency (EEA) will produce its fourth European environment – state and outlook (SOER 2010). It is aimed primarily at policy makers, in Europe and beyond, involved with framing and implementing policies that could support environmental improvements in Europe. The information also helps European citizens to better understand, care for and improve Europe’s environment.
