The core task of the European Environment Agency (EEA) is to provide decision-makers with the information needed for making sound and effective policies to protect the environment and support sustainable development.
The Agency ensures this information is available to the general public through its publications and website. The EEA does not make or enforce European Union environment policy or legislation: this is the responsibility of the European Commission and the other EU institutions.
The information provided by the EEA focuses in particular on assessing the current and future state of the environment across Europe and the pressures upon it. The Agency's tasks also include disseminating best practice in environmental protection and technologies, and supporting the European Commission in diffusing information on the results of environmental research.
The Agency both gathers and distributes its data and information through the European environment information and observation network (EIONET), which brings together just over 300 environment bodies, agencies, public and private research centres and centres of expertise across Europe. The EEA is responsible for coordinating the EIONET.
The Agency currently has 31 member countries and is the first EU body to open its doors to the 13 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean basin that have applied for membership of the EU. Current member countries are: The original 15 European Union Member States, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein (which are members of the European Economic Area), Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, the Slovak Republic and Turkey. Membership negotiations are under way with Switzerland.
