EIONET Support to CLMS
The European Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET) is a network of national organisations that collaborate at the European level to provide the information needed by the Member States and the European Commission to adopt the necessary measures to protect the environment. It belongs to the European Environment Agency, and its main objective is to provide data, information and specialised, timely and quality-assured knowledge to assess the state of the environment in Europe.
In Spain, the National Focal Point of EIONET is the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITERD), which delegates thematic competences to expert bodies for its better development.
The Land Occupation Service of the National Geographic Institute, as coordinator of the SIOSE and CORINE Land Cover projects, plays the role of "Support to Copernicus Land Monitoring Service" of the EIONET Network under the "National Focal Point" (Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge).
