Eionet core dataflows

Eionet core data flows are defined as a subset of key data flows reported by EEA member and cooperating countries using the Reportnet tools and which are used by EEA for its main assessments, products and services. In this definition, it is important to stress:

  • Data flows are provided through Eionet Reportnet with a focus upon EEA as user of the information;
  • Data flows not included in the identified subset of data flows may still be considered an important ‘core’ for other reasons (legal compliance, national priority etc);
  • The objective of the data flow monitoring and evaluation is to encourage countries towards better performance through friendly competition concentrating on praise for achievements rather than blame for failures.
The Eionet core data flows are a subset of existing key data flows reported by EEA member and cooperating countries using the Reportnet tools. The reported data are used by the EEA for its main assessments, products and services. The objective of the data flow monitoring and evaluation is to encourage countries towards better performance through friendly competition concentrating on praise for achievements rather than blame for failures.
