  11. SOER 2015 - relationship with pan-European environmental reporting and assessments EEA has been put in charge of developing a ‘Regular Process’ for environmental reporting across the pan-European region (accompanied by a decision to gradually extend SEIS to these countries to support this). This includes activities in the UNECE European region supporting the development of indicators and national SOE reports, and the application of the Assessment of Assessments approach. There is thus an opportunity to use the SOER 2015 approaches to help frame and inform this. For example, using SERIS, SENSE, and/or Part C. This extension attempt will not be part of SOER 2015 itself – yet a complementary activity (i.e. to ensure necessary flexibility and focus).
