The update to the 1992 report on the state of the environment in the
European Union requested by the European Commission.
Prepared by the European Environment Agency in cooperation with
Eurostat.
Environment in the European Union - 1995; Report for the Review of the Fifth Environmental Action Programme is an appraisal of the state of EU's environment. It was requested by the European Commission as part of the review process of the Fifth Environmental Action Programme "Towards Sustainability", for which it serves as an up-date of the 1992 report on the state of the environment. This indicator-based report also contains an environmental assessment of the progress and prospects of currents actions.
The main conclusions of this report are that the European Union is making progress towards reducing certain pressures on the environment, though this is not enough to improve the general quality of the environment and represents even less progress towards sustainability. Without accelerated policies, pressures on the environment will remain exceeding human health standards and the often limited carrying capacity of the environment. Actions taken to date will not lead to full integration of environmental considerations into economic sectors or to sustainable development.
The report covers the Member States of the European Union and is based on data from a wide range of sources, including, European Commission, Eurostat, IIASA, OECD, RIVM/CCE, UNECE and the World Bank.
The European Environment Agency was launched by the European Union in 1993; it is committed to providing efficient information at the European-level to support policy-makers and to better inform the public about the environment. This means that the Agency shall produce reliable and objective reports about the present state of the environment and the effectiveness of current environmental measures.
