European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet) priority data flows

The Eionet priority data flows identify a set of agreed, stable, well-defined objectives to provide a focus for countries when they are putting procedures in place for regular reporting. The objective is to encourage countries towards better performance through comptition amicale concentrating on praise for achievements rather than blame for failures. Eionet aims to provide timely and quality-assured data, information and expertise for assessing the state of the environment in Europe and the pressures acting upon it. This enables policy-makers to decide on appropriate measures for protecting the environment at national and European level and to monitor the effectiveness of policies and measures implemented.欧洲环境信息网络（Eionet）的优先数据流明确了一系列经各方共识、稳定且界定清晰的目标，为各国搭建定期报告流程提供核心指引。其宗旨是通过良性竞争激励各国提升环境治理绩效，以褒扬工作成果而非追责失误为核心导向。Eionet旨在提供及时且经质量管控的数据、信息与专业支持，用于评估欧洲的环境现状及其面临的各类环境压力。这将助力政策制定者在国家及欧盟层面制定适宜的环境保护举措，并对已实施的政策与措施的执行效果开展监测。
